The Yarn
For this month’s Crochet Club Patterns, I used Red Heart With Love yarn. This 100% acrylic yarn is a joy to work with and comes in a variety of beautiful colors.
The Papaya shade I chose is vibrant and cheerful, adding the perfect splash of color to balance the darker tones of fall and winter.

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.

Finished Project: Scarf: 4.5 oz (128 g) and 209 yds (192 m)
Scissors, Tapestry Needle (yarn needle)
Difficulty Level
Very Easy
Finished Sizes
Scarf width approximately 6 inches X 60 inches length.
Gauge
Approximately 10 sts per 3 inches and 7 rows per 3 inches worked in pattern; starting with Rnd 2.
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.
Initial ch 3 does NOT count as a stitch. The first sc will include a ch 3 and 1 dc.
Sl st to join: skip over the ch 3 to join in the first dc of the round.
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 wider, work more rows using the repeat section of the pattern.
To make this scarf longer, chain more stitches using the stitch multiple.
This project is crocheted lengthwise in joined rounds.
Using your 5.5 mm (I) crochet hook (or size required for gauge):
Rnd 1: Ch 200, sk the first 3 chs (does not count as a stitch), 1 dc in each rem ch across. Sl st to the first dc to join (skip over the ch 3). [197 dc]
Rnd 2: Ch 1, 1 sc in the bl of each dc around. Sl st to join. [197 sc]
Rnd 3: Ch 3 (does not count as a stitch), 1 dc in the bl of each sc around (*see notes). Sl st to the first dc to join (skip over the ch 3). [197 dc]

Proceed to Finishing Instructions.
Finishing Instructions:
Finish off and weave in your ends.
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.
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. The final row should be an odd numbered row.
