Steps
Check the yarn label for the recommended hook size. Pick a hook in that range so your stitches stay even and the scarf stays soft.
Make a slip knot and slide it onto the hook. Pull the working yarn through the loop to tighten it, leaving a short tail.
Chain enough stitches to reach the width you want, usually 20 to 30 for a scarf. Keep the chains loose so the first row is easy.
Work your first row into the chain, using a simple stitch like single or half double crochet. Count your stitches so the width stays the same.
Turn at the end of each row and work the same stitch back across. Repeat until the scarf is as long as you like, often 150 to 180 cm.
Change colours at the start of a row if you want pastel stripes. Cut the old yarn, join the new colour and crochet over the loose ends.
Finish the last row and cut the yarn, leaving a 15 cm tail. Pull the tail through the final loop to secure it.
Weave the loose ends into the scarf with a yarn needle. Block the scarf lightly with water and pins so the edges lie flat.
Tips and common mistakes
Count your stitches at the end of every row to catch accidental increases early.
Keep your tension loose on the starting chain, or the scarf edge will pull tight.
Use the same yarn weight throughout so the stripes sit evenly.
Weave ends in on the wrong side so they stay hidden.
Questions
Can I make this scarf if I have never crocheted before?
Yes. It uses basic stitches and straight rows, so it is a good first project. Practise a small square first to get your tension even.
How much yarn do I need for one scarf?
It depends on the yarn weight and scarf length. Buy two or three balls of the same yarn so you do not run short mid-project.
How do I stop the scarf edges from curling?
Keep your tension even and block the finished scarf with water and pins. A looser starting chain also helps the first edge lie flat.
