Easy Scarf to Crochet

Super Easy Scarf to Crochet in 2 hours!

I had a leftover skein of white baby clouds yarn from the blanket that I made for Mr. Quinn’s toddler bed staring at me from the yarn basket so I decided to make a scarf.  The hook I used was the same size as his blanket, a N or 10.00 mm.  

From start to finish it took me 2 hours!  It was easy enough to do, and now I think I’m going to make a couple for Christmas gifts.  Maybe. Probably not.  But it's an idea!  We're going to be super busy until Christmas and beyond, as our kids are traveling out of state for the holidays.

Back to the scarf, you need about 140 yards of loopy or super bulky yarn.  (that was one skein)

Start by making a chain as long as you want the scarf.  Mine ended up being about 6 feet long.  Make sure your chain ends on an odd number.

After making the chain, crochet 2 chain stitches (ch) and turn and double crochet (dc) in 4th  chain stitch from the hook.  chain 1, then skip one chain stitch and dc in the next chain stitch.  Repeat repeat repeat

Row 1: ch 2, dc in third ch from hook, (ch 1, skip 1 ch, dc in next ch) across to the end. 

Row 2: turn, ch 2, dc in first ch, (ch 1, skip 1 ch, dc in next ch) across to the end.  

I repeated row 2 six times and my finished scarf is taller than me (about 71 inches long) and about 6 inches wide.  I'll be wearing it tomorrow to the Christmas party for sure!  Unless the weather warms up as forecasted.

I've never crocheted with bulky yarn. I love this, it seems soft and warm.

Looks so snuggly. I love crocheting with soft bulky yarn. Quick projects like this scarf are about all I have the patience for these days.

Lovely scarf! And, no, I haven't done what I need to do. In the meantime, you are creating scarves and I am procrastinating.

Is the ending the chain in an odd number a rule with crochet? My grandma taught me how, a looooonnnnng time ago, so I forget.

And it (plus you) looks fabulous by the way, I am totally inspired !

@BehavioralChild do it do it, and take pictures and let me see! :)

@BehavioralChild I don't know if ending on an odd number is a rule or not. I tried to end on an odd number, but I lost count around 70 chains and just measured the chain around my neck until it was the length I wanted. I think I may have ended on an even number because I had a leftover chain stitch at the end of row 2, but once I was finished with the scarf, I tied the extra off and through some stitches.

KarenLynnn@behavioralchild So that's what the odd number is for, then, for the extra stitch.

I have a knitted scarf that I finished a while back. It is sitting in a closet somewhere, waiting for me to get back to it and add the tassels at the end. I knitted feverishly when I was pregnant (my nesting process) but haven't done it in a while. I'm hesitant to add one more thing to my full-to-the-brim to-do list just now. And chatting here on an addicted, non-stop basis is not helping. I am very inspired by your pretty creation though, so maybe soon :)

@BehavioralChild i'm glad i'm not the only one that is addicted to chatting! :)
