Crochet Simple Scarf
Materials:
- 4 balls of Stylecraft Merry-Go-Round yarn, XL size, in the colorway Fruit Salad (400 grams total)
- 10mm crochet hook
- Scissors
Pattern Instructions:
Starting the Scarf:
Slip Knot:
- Begin with a slip knot.
- Cross the yarn over itself to create a loop, then pull a strand through the loop forming a pretzel shape.
- Adjust the knot to your crochet hook's width.
Chain 22:
- For a standard width, chain 22.
- This should measure about 11.5 inches long.
- This will be the width of your scarf.
- You can adjust the number of chains if you prefer a narrower or wider scarf.
Creating the Scarf Body:
Row 1 (Half Double Crochet - HDC):
- Start by yarning over (YO), then inserting the hook into the third chain from the hook.
- YO again and pull through the chain, YO again and pull through all three loops on hook.
- This is your first HDC.
- Repeat the HDC in each chain across.
- By the end of this row, you should have 20 half double crochets.
Rows 2-80:
- Chain 2 (turning chain), turn your work. YO, and make a HDC into the first stitch. Continue with HDC in each stitch across.
- Repeat this step until you've completed 80 rows, or the scarf reaches your desired length, typically around 65 inches.
Changing Yarn:
Joining New Yarn:
- If you run out of yarn, simply tie the end of your old yarn to the start of the new yarn with a secure knot. Trim any excess yarn close to the knot to keep your work neat.
Finishing the Scarf:
Weaving in Ends:
- Once you've reached the desired length, cut your yarn, leaving about a six-inch tail. Yarn over and pull through the loop on your hook to secure the end.
- Using a yarn needle or your crochet hook, weave this tail back and forth through the stitches on the wrong side of the scarf to hide it.
Final Touches:
- Trim any remaining yarn tails, and straighten out your scarf. Block your scarf if desired to give it a more finished look and even out the edges.
