Materials and Measurements

To create this scarf, you will need the following materials:

• Cherub Aran yarn by Cascade Yarns (55% nylon, 45% acrylic)
• Hook size H (5mm)

The finished size of the scarf will be approximately 46 inches long and 11 inches wide. The amount of yarn used for this project is 480 yards. Feel free to adjust the length and width of the scarf to your preference by starting with a different number of chains.

Starting the Scarf

To begin, create a starting chain with the desired number of chains. Remember to crochet the starting chain loosely. The length of your starting chain will determine the width of your finished scarf. In this tutorial, we will start with 29 chains, but you can start with any number.

Row 1: Single Crochet

In the second chain from the hook, make a single crochet. Continue making a single crochet into each chain across. At the end of the row, you should have one less single crochet than the number of chains in your starting chain. In this case, we will have 28 single crochets.

Row 2: Puff Stitches

To start the second row, chain three and turn. This row will consist of puff stitches. To create a puff stitch, yarn over, insert the hook into the first single crochet, draw up a loop, and pull it up to the same level as the chain three. Yarn over again and insert the hook into the next single crochet, draw up a loop, and pull it higher. Repeat this process to have four loops on the hook. Yarn over and draw the yarn through all four loops, then finish the stitch with a yarn over. Make one chain and repeat the puff stitch process across the row. Remember to make one chain in between each puff stitch.

Row 3: Single Crochets

For the third row, chain one and turn. This row will consist of single crochets. Make the first single crochet into the space between the last double crochet and the last puff stitch. Continue making a single crochet into each chain one space across. At the end of the row, make the last single crochet into the space between the starting chain and the last puff stitch.

Repeating Rows 2 and 3

From this point on, repeat rows 2 and 3 until the desired length of your scarf is reached. Row 2 will have puff stitches, while row 3 will have single crochets. This pattern creates a beautiful texture for the scarf and is a joy to work on.

Completing the Scarf

When you have reached the desired length, finish the scarf with a row of single crochets. Fasten off and weave in any loose ends to secure the yarn.

Adding Fringe

To add a finishing touch to your scarf, you can create fringe. Cut strands of yarn that are approximately 12 inches long. Take three strands at a time and fold them in half. Using the hook, attach the folded strands of yarn to the ends of the scarf by inserting the hook into the single crochet and pulling the loop through. Then pass the strands through the loop and pull tight. Continue adding fringe throughout the ends of the scarf, skipping two single crochets between each fringe.

Conclusion

Congratulations on completing your crochet scarf! This stitch pattern is versatile and can be adapted to different yarns, colors, and lengths. The unisex design makes it a perfect accessory for anyone. Enjoy wearing or gifting your handmade creation and continue exploring the world of crochet. Happy crocheting!
