This tutorial shows you how to crochet a scarf using 2 simple stitches (single crochet and double crochet)

| [A single crochet chain is the starting point for all crochet projects. To begin, tie a knot and slip it over the hook. The wrap the yarn from the back to front and pull through. The video below shows how it is done] |
To make the scarf: Crochet 125 chain stitches. The rest of the scarf is made using a stitch called “Double Crochet”
Here’s a video illustrating the Double Crochet and explaining a turning chain:
IMPORTANT- Remember to make a single crochet turning chain every time you read the end. This keeps the shape. Otherwise you’ll rectangular scarf will end up looking like a triangle!
The scarf is 6 feet long and 20 inches wide. I crocheted the white yarn until it was 5 inches wide, the light grey until it was 7 inches, the charcoal until it was 5 inches and the black until it was 3 inches. I kept my stitches loose so the scarf would have a loose, lace-y texture.

August 9, 2012 at 6:22 amThis is so pretty. I would love to make it. Are you using US or UK terms and is it all one stitch?
Gina Michele
August 9, 2012 at 11:37 amHi Kandi- I'm using US terms and the scarf is made using 2 different stitches; a single and double crochet
Anonymous
August 31, 2012 at 3:22 amOnce you start the double stitch on the second row do you just continue with the double stitch throughout the process?
Thanks
Gina Michele
August 31, 2012 at 11:31 amYes, that's correct. The rest of the scarf is made using a double crochet stitch.

March 3, 2013 at 7:00 amhi, how did you make this scarf? by crocheting the first color until 6ft? or 125 chains?
i hope my question makes sense,
im trying to recreate this look
Gina Michele
March 4, 2013 at 2:29 pmHi Nadira- The 125 chains loosely crochet ends up being 6 feet.
Nadira Narine
March 3, 2013 at 7:02 amcould you be so kind and respond with a quick step by step
i just want to know if i should make 125 chains in one color or make 5 inches one color and 6ft down and then start the next color thanks
Gina Michele
March 4, 2013 at 2:33 pmThe scarf is knitted lengthwise. The 125 chains (6 ft)are made in the first color (white). You crochet until the pieces measures 5 inches wide. The next color is added by crocheting along the 125 chains. Continue to crochet until the new color is 7 inches wide.
I hope this clears things up!
