The Exquisite Gift Scarf is a wonderful, beginner-friendly crochet project. The pattern features basic stitches such as chains (ch), half double crochet (hdc), and double crochet (dc), resulting in a lacy, soft-to-the-touch fabric. The unique stitch pattern offers a slightly stretchy finish with a distinct look on each side. Perfect for gifting, this scarf is part of the Exquisite Gift Crochet Set, with a matching hat pattern available soon. Enjoy crocheting this elegant accessory!
I’ve recently created a community on reddit for CALS. Feel free to join me there and to share your projects, ask questions and find a community of like-minded people who love to work on crochet along patterns together!
The yarn I chose for this month’s Crochet Club Patterns was Mulberry Soft DK from King Cole Yarns. This is a gorgeous environmentally responsible luxury yarn.
Mulberry Soft DK is made with the highest quality mulberry silk, blended with sumptuously soft superfine baby alpaca from Peru, to create a versatile double knit weight yarn with a beautiful lustre and elegant drape.

BONUS: You can make this easy crochet scarf with any yarn and hook combination you have on hand.
Be sure to check my “You can use any yarn and hook to make this project!” section at the end of the post. I explain how you can use any yarn and hook to make your project. Plus, you can make this in any size, just by changing the number of starting chains, or the number of rows you crochet.

You can substitute any yarn and hook for this stitch pattern – just remember when you substitute if your gauge is different, the finished size, and amount of yarn used for your project will also be different.
When I work into the foundation chain, I prefer working into the back bar (back bump) of the chain. You can work under the back loop only if you prefer.
To make this scarf longer, chain more stitches using the stitch multiple.
To make this scarf wider, work more repeats following the stitch pattern.

Finishing Instructions
Finish off and weave in your ends.
Block if desired.
You can use any yarn and hook to make this project!
With the yarn and hook you’ve chosen for the project, chain until you reach the length you’d like for your scarf (shawl, or blanket); or chain until your length measures 60 inches.
Check that your number of chains can be divided by 2 evenly (to match the stitch multiple), then add 1 more chain.
Follow the pattern as written.
Continue crocheting until your project is the width you would like it to be, or until it measures approximately 6 inches wide.
