Basic Crochet Scarf
Crocheting our basic scarf is a great project for beginners on up. Beginners will get a chance to practice and master the single crochet stitch. More seasoned crocheters will be able to whip up this scarf quickly for themselves or as a gift.
Materials:
- 5 oz Worsted weight yarn* (less yarn needed for child's scarf)
- Size H crochet hook
- Yarn needle
* Experiment with different types of yarn and different hook sizes to get a variety of different looking scarves.
Adult size:
Chain 19; turn
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.
