Bev's Quick Warm Scarf Copyright Beverly A. Qualheim 2016, 2019 Materials needed: Approx. 500 yards (457 meters) of worsted weight yarn You could use a bulky yarn too and your gauge will end up a bit different - fewer sts to the inch and fewer rows to inch. Size J (6 mm) crochet hook Gauge: 9 Dc=3" 8 rows = 5" You can whip up this scarf easily in 2 evenings of watching TV! This makes it about 7" across x 4' (1.2 meters) long for kids, 5' (2.4 meters) for adults Chain 23: Row 1: Double Crochet in the 4th chain from the hook and in each chain across, chain 2 after you make the last stitch, and turn the piece around Rows 2- 64 (or till you are done!): Double Crochet in the same stitch as the chain 2, and in each Double Crochet across the row, ch 2 and turn. (20 Double Crochets) --HINT At the end of each row, be sure to add up the number of double crochets to make sure they stay the same. Keep crocheting in this pattern until scarf is at least 4 feet long for a child, or as long as you want it. (I like mine 5 feet long) For a smooth edge, you can sc around the outside of the scarf. I usually do 2 sc in each dc stitch. |
