Making The Crochet Women Scarf
Materials:
- Yarn
- K hook (You may want to use a larger hook for the starting chains if you crochet tightly)
Step by step Pattern
Starting Chain:
- Make a slip knot.
- Chain 21 (This number is adjustable based on your preference, but ensure to maintain an odd number by using multiples of two plus one for the width you desire. For a scarf approximately seven inches wide, chain 21).
Row 1:
- Work into the back ridge loops of the chain starting from the second chain from the hook.
- Single crochet into the second chain (back ridge loop).
- Double crochet into the next chain (back ridge loop).
- Continue the pattern across the chain: Single crochet in the next chain, double crochet in the next, and repeat.
- You should end with a double crochet in the last chain.
- You'll have 20 stitches if you started with 21 chains (this will vary if you adjusted your starting chain number).
- Chain 1 and turn.
Row 2:
- Single crochet into the first stitch (the base of the chain 1).
- Double crochet into the next stitch.
- Continue single crochet in the next stitch, double crochet in the next stitch all the way across.
- End with a double crochet in the last stitch of the row.
- Your stitch count should remain consistent with row 1.
- Chain 1 and turn.
Row 3 to Final Row:
- Repeat the pattern from Row 2. The first stitch after the turn is always a single crochet, followed by a double crochet in the next, and so on.
- Continue this pattern until the scarf reaches your desired length. For a six-feet scarf, approximately 168 rows were made.
- The last row should end similarly, with a double crochet as the final stitch.
- Fasten off and weave in your ends.
Adding Fringe (Optional):
- Cut 60 strands of yarn, each 8 inches long, to make 10 tassels on each end of the scarf. This number can vary based on the length of tassel you desire.
- Fold 3 strands in half to make a loop, and use a crochet hook to pull the loop through the end of the scarf, then pull the tails through the loop to secure. Repeat this for each tassel, attaching them evenly across the ends of the scarf. Skip two chains or stitches between each tassel.
- Trim the tassels to your desired length, the example given was originally 3.75 inches but you can adjust to preference.
Tips:
- The scarf is worked by alternating single and double crochets in each row, creating a textured pattern.
- Make sure that each row has the same number of stitches to keep the edges straight.
- The chain at the beginning of each row does not count as a stitch.
- The right side of the scarf doesn’t have a distinct look in this pattern, but traditionally, consider the side facing you after the final row as right-side if desired.
- Adjust the width and length of the scarf by altering the number of starting chains and rows completed to fit your preference.
Enjoy crocheting your scarf!
