Materials:

  • 5 oz Worsted weight yarn* (less yarn needed for child's scarf)

Row 1:   sc in 2nd ch from hook, 1 sc in each ch; ch1  turn (18 sc)

Row 2:   sc in each sc; ch1 turn

Repeat row 2 until scarf measures 52" or desired length.  Knott off and weave ends back into the scarf with a yarn needle.

To make the fringe: 

  • Cut 4 pieces of yarn 12" long.
  • Working across one end of the scarf, insert hook from back to front near one corner.
  • Working with 4 strands as one, fold strands in half.
  • Insert end of hook into loop created by fold.
  • Pull loop half way through scarf and remove hook
  • Pass ends through loop and pull taught
  • Repeat across end making sure fringe is evenly spaced.
  • Make the fringe the same way on the opposite end of the scarf.
  • Trim fringe so it is all the same length.
How to attach fringe to your scarf:

Child size:
