What you need
Steps
Check your yarn label for the recommended hook size. For chunky yarn this is usually 6 to 8 mm. Make a slip knot and slide it onto the hook.
Work a foundation chain as wide as you want the scarf. For a lengthwise scarf, chain to the full scarf length, around 150 to 180 cm for an adult.
Turn and work your first row into the chain, keeping the stitch count the same across. Count your stitches so the edges stay straight.
Repeat the same stitch pattern for every row until the scarf is as wide as you like. A chunky muffler is often 20 to 30 cm wide.
Keep your tension even and check the width every few rows. Loosen your grip if the fabric feels stiff, tighten it if the edges curl badly.
When the scarf is the size you want, cut the yarn leaving a 15 cm tail and pull it through the last loop to fasten off.
Thread the tail onto a tapestry needle and weave it into the edge for about 10 cm. Repeat with the starting tail.
Try the scarf on and adjust the width or length before you weave in the final ends. Block it lightly if the edges curl.
Tips and common mistakes
Buy all your yarn in one batch so the dye lots match and the colour stays even.
Count your stitches at the end of each row, since a dropped stitch shows up fast in chunky yarn.
If you use a different yarn weight, size the hook up or down and add or remove chains to keep the width.
Weave in ends on the wrong side so they do not show on the finished scarf.
Questions
Can I make the scarf lengthwise instead of widthwise?
Yes. Chain the full scarf length and work rows until it is as wide as you want. This gives long vertical stripes and fewer turns.
How much yarn do I need for a chunky muffler?
A typical adult scarf takes about 2 to 3 skeins of chunky yarn, around 300 to 400 g. Buy one extra skein if you want a longer or wider scarf.
What if my edges keep curling?
Curling often comes from tight tension or the stitch pattern. Try a larger hook and keep the first and last stitch of each row loose.
