I wish I could translate this into a regular-sized scarf it's gorgeous and I am addicted to plaids 3

I bet if you downsize to a worsted weight yarn or even a finer weight and corresponding crochet hook, you'll wind up with a more traditionally sized scarf! I hope that helps!

Surface crochet I can handle. I wish I could find more surface crochet projects out there to try. It is my way of cheating on difficult designs. I can create a faux cable "knit" using surface crochet skills. Even if I decided to forgo trying my hand at Tartan, I could still make a solid colored super scarf but add some of that pop with a chain in black. Something like that, you know? The overall look of this scarf is on trend!

I agree that Tartan projects can be very challenging. If you are serious about making this stunning scarf, I would highly recommend going to the Yarnspirations site and downloading the pattern directly. There arent any more photos than are posted with this article, but the stitch chart is much larger and can be enlarged further in Adobe. Theres also a small detailed sketch of the fringe as well.

It is not easy to crochet Tartan patterns. I would not recommend this to a new crocheter. I am making a cape/shawl with the tartan pattern and it is time consuming. I still have not finished it and I have been working on it every week for a few hours at a time. I believe that the type of yarn used can make a large difference as to how quickly it is made. I chose to make my tartan with acrylic 4 ply yarn. It looks amazing and I don't have too much more to do to finish my project. Tartan is a good style to try if you have never worked using yarn bobbins. Yarn bobbins work very well in this project.
