How To Crochet Scarf In Quick Steps

This scarf tutorial uses the easy-to-learn moss stitch, alternating slip stitches (sl st) and half double crochets (hdc) to create a textured design suitable for beginner crocheters. The scarf is customizable in width and length, with optional tassels for added flair. This project is ideal for newcomers to crochet, as it introduces basic stitches and techniques.

Materials Needed

To make the scarf, you will need:

1. Yarn: Acrylic yarn, approximately 300–400 grams, depending on the desired scarf width and length. The yarn should be medium-thick (recommended crochet hook size of 5mm).
2. Crochet Hook: 5.0mm (or the size recommended by your yarn label).
3. Scissors: For cutting yarn and shaping tassels.
4. Tapestry Needle or Smaller Crochet Hook: For weaving in yarn ends.

Abbreviations of Stitches

Familiarize yourself with these abbreviations used in the pattern:

• ch = chain
• sl st = slip stitch
• hdc = half double crochet

Step-by-Step Pattern

Foundation Chain

1. Decide the desired width of your scarf. Chain any even number of stitches as the moss stitch requires multiples of two. The video suggests chaining 24, 26, or more depending on preference.
2. Leave the loop slightly loose on your hook to make it easier to work subsequent rows.

Row 1 (Creating the first row of stitches):

1. Sl st into the second chain from the hook:
   • Insert the hook.
   • Yarn over and pull through both loops on the hook.
     Save
2. Move to the next chain and work an hdc:
   • Yarn over.
   • Insert the hook into the chain.
   • Yarn over, pull through (you now have 3 loops on the hook).
   • Yarn over again and pull through all 3 loops.
3. Alternate stitches (sl st, hdc): Continue repeating this pattern to the end of the row.
4. Finish the row with sl st (as you started the row with it).
5. Chain 1 to prepare for the next row.
   Save

Row 2 (Starting the next row):

1. Turn your work. The starting stitch alternates based on the previous row:
   • If the last stitch in the previous row was a sl st, work an hdc into the first stitch.
   • If the last stitch in the previous row was an hdc, start the next row with a sl st.
2. Work into the appropriate stitch type from the previous row:
   • Place sl sts in hdc spots from the previous row.
   • Place hdc stitches in sl st spots from the previous row.
3. Continue alternating stitches (sl st, hdc).
   Save

Repeated Rows

1. Repeat Row 2 until the scarf reaches the desired length.
2. Regularly check your pattern and stitch tension. When creating sl sts, keep them loose to ensure easy insertion in the next row.

Finishing the Scarf

1. At the final row, once the scarf is at your desired length, complete it with a single chain.
2. Pull the yarn up into a loop and cut it to create a knot, securing the end.
3. Use a tapestry needle or smaller crochet hook to weave in the tail by hiding it within the stitches. Turn the scarf as you go to ensure the tail is completely invisible.
   Save

Adding Tassels (Optional)

1. Cut yarn into equal-length strands based on the desired tassel size, folding them in half to create bundles.
2. Use a larger crochet hook to attach tassels evenly across the ends of the scarf:
   • Insert the hook into a stitch slightly away from the edge for stability.
   • Pull the folded yarn bundle through the stitch, forming a loop.
   • Manually thread the ends of the tassel through the loop, pulling tightly to secure.
3. Trim the tassels to the desired length. Space them however you prefer!
