Crochet Scarf Tutorial

A scarf is a versatile piece that can be customised in countless ways: length, colour, and pattern. Plus, it's a forgiving project, so if you make a mistake, it's easy to fix. 

Glossary (UK)

CH: Chain stitch (wrap the yarn around your hook and pull it through the loop. Each chain adds length to your starting row.)

DC: Double Crochet (yarn over, insert the hook into the stitch, and yarn over again, pull through, yarn over, pull through two loops, yarn over, and pull through the last two loops.) 

You will need:

- Super chunky yarn

- 10mm hook

- Yarn needle

Step by Step Guide:

Tassels:

- Using your yarn, make 18 tassels

- Measure and cut 11" (28cm) strands of yarn. Fold them in half and attach to the ends of your scarf.
 

Tips for Success:

- Practice makes perfect. Don't worry if it takes a few tries to get comfortable. Practice chaining and double crochet stitches before getting stuck into your scarf.

- Check your tension. Try to keep your stitches consistent, not too loose or too tight. It may take a bit of practice, but it will improve as you go.

- Try different yarn colours. You can switch colours mid-project for a striped effect. Just tie a secure knot when changing colours and weave in the ends later.

If you've followed these steps, you now have a cosy, handmade scarf to wear or gift to someone. Crocheting a scarf is a wonderful way to practice your skills, create something beautiful, and enjoy a relaxing craft.
