Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Foundation Chain

Start by making a slip knot and chaining 21 stitches. This will set the width of your scarf.

Step 2: Row 1

In the second chain from the hook, work 1 single crochet (sc). Then alternate 1 double crochet (dc) and 1 single crochet (sc) across the row. End with a single crochet in the last chain. Turn your work.

Step 3: Row 2

Chain 1, then work 1 single crochet in the first stitch. Alternate 1 double crochet and 1 single crochet across the row, ending with a single crochet in the last stitch. Turn.

Step 4: Repeat Rows

Repeat Row 2 until the scarf reaches your desired length, typically about 60 inches for a cozy wrap.

Step 5: Finishing

Fasten off your yarn and use the tapestry needle to weave in all loose ends neatly.

Tips for Success

• Keep your tension even to maintain a consistent texture.
• Use stitch markers if needed to keep track of your rows.
• Choose a yarn color that complements your wardrobe for a versatile scarf.
