My mom wanted me to make her a scarf with the Day Glow Red Heart Super Saver yarn. I looked for a pattern, but couldn’t find one that I really liked. I wanted something that would looked good with the variegated yarn and that would work up quickly. I decided to make my own using four different stitches and realized it would be a good scarf for beginner crocheters to practice their stitches.
This scarf uses four stitches, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet and treble (or triple) crochet. It’s very easy and works up quickly. You can use any kind of yarn you would like, I used Day Glow Red Heart Super Saver. I used a 5mm crochet hook, you will use the hook that your yarn reccommends.
I know when I first started crocheting, the chains at the beginning of the rows threw me off, so in this pattern, the chains DO NOT count as stitches. Your first stitch will be in the same stitch as your chain.
Ch 26
1. Single crochet in the 2nd chain from the hook (25 stitches)
2. Ch 1 (ch 1 does not count as a stitch here or throughout) and turn hdc in each stitch across
3. Ch 2 and turn Dc in each stitch across
4. Ch 3 and turn tr in each stitch across
5. Ch 1 and turn single crochet in each stitch across
7. Ch 1 and turn hdc in each stitch across
8. Ch 2 and turn Dc in each stitch across
9. Ch 3 and turn tr in each stitch across
Repeat rows 5-9 until you have reached your desired length.
You should end on a treble crochet row. I went ahead and repeated row 5 (the single crochet row) one more time because I felt like it should end on single crochet ocher since it started on a single crochet row. I had 145 rows.
If you want to do a fringe, measure out 72 12 in pieces of yarn. Starting on one end of your scarf, fold 3 pieces of yarn in half and, using your hook, pull the yarn through the first stitch making a large enough loop to pull the ends through. Pull tight. Repeat this in every other stitch across. Do this on both ends.
If you have any questions about stitches, I used you tube to help me learn my stitches. Bobwilson123 is a one of my favorite channels. I used it a lot to help me learn to crochet in the beginning.
