Steps
Lay out your yarn and hook. Check the yarn label for the recommended hook size and pick a hook in that range so your stitches stay even.
Make a slip knot: loop the yarn, pull the working end through the loop, and tighten it on the hook. Leave it loose enough to slide.
Work a foundation chain. Chain enough stitches to reach your desired scarf width, keeping each chain loose and even.
Start round 1 by working your first stitch into the chain. Follow the stitch pattern shown and count your stitches at the end of the row.
Repeat the same row pattern for rounds 2 to 14, or until the scarf is as long as you want. Keep your tension steady.
Change yarn by joining a new ball at the end of a row. Work the last stitch with the new yarn and weave the old tail in later.
Finish the last round and cut the yarn, leaving a tail about 15 cm long. Pull the tail through the final loop to secure it.
Thread the tails onto a yarn needle and weave them into the back of the work. Trim any loose ends close to the fabric.
Tips and common mistakes
Count your stitches at the end of every row so the scarf edges stay straight.
Keep your chains and stitches loose at the start, since tight tension makes the first row hard to work into.
Chunky yarn works up fast, so check the length against yourself before the final row.
Weave tails into the wrong side so they do not show on the finished scarf.
Questions
How much yarn do I need for a scarf?
For a chunky scarf, plan on 2 to 3 balls of yarn. Buy one extra ball in the same dye lot in case you run short.
Can I make the scarf wider or narrower?
Yes. Add or remove foundation chains to change the width, then follow the same row pattern. Just keep the stitch count consistent.
What if I make a mistake in a row?
Pull out the stitches back to the mistake and redo that section. Chunky yarn is forgiving, so small errors often disappear after blocking.
