diy crochet scarf

by

This tutorial shows you how to crochet a scarf using 2 simple stitches (single crochet and double crochet)
Supplies:
  • 4 different colored balls of yarn (I used worsted weight)
  • Crochet hook (size K)
    [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.

      @Annie The scarf took 5 hours to make. Not the fastest of DIY projects, but it gives me something to do when I watch movies =)

      This is so pretty. I would love to make it. Are you using US or UK terms and is it all one stitch?

      • Gina Michele

        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

      • Gina Michele

        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

      • Gina Michele

        Hi Nadira- The 125 chains loosely crochet ends up being 6 feet.

    21. Nadira Narine

      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

      • Gina Michele

        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!
