This tutorial shows you how to crochet a scarf using 2 simple stitches (single crochet and double crochet)
Supplies:
Supplies:
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.
omg lots of work
but a great result!
love it

This is so pretty. I would love to make it. Are you using US or UK terms and is it all one stitch?
Hi Kandi- I'm using US terms and the scarf is made using 2 different stitches; a single and double crochet
Once you start the double stitch on the second row do you just continue with the double stitch throughout the process?
Thanks
Yes, that's correct. The rest of the scarf is made using a double crochet stitch.
hi, 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
Hi Nadira- The 125 chains loosely crochet ends up being 6 feet.
could 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
The 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!
