Easy Crochet Scarf

Last week my grandsons asked me to make them a scarf.  So I asked what their favourite colours were & this is what I came up with. It is a very quick growing project. The first one in the photo is inspired by Pokemon because he liked  red & black....the other one just based on the colours requested.

The pattern is as follows:-

Materials

8 ply acrylic yarns in colours of choice

5mm crochet hook

Method UK (Aussie terms used)

For a child's scarf  start by chain 251 or Adult 301

Single crochet into 2nd chain from the hook single crochet to the end off the chains chain 2 & turn

Single crochet into 2nd chain from the hook 1 chain skip 1 chain single crochet into next stitch 1 chain repeat across the row.

This forms the pattern known as linen stitch tutorial can be found here:-

Continue rows to desired width for a child or adult. i did 22 rows for a child & 26 rows for an adult...however this is a matter of choice depending if you want a skinny or wide scarf.

The last row I did single crochet across the whole row...the same as the starting row.

Finish off weave in any ends.  I did a little edge by picking up a slip stitch evenly across then single crochet across to give a neater edge.  Making sure I did it on the same side each end.

I added some embellishments but not essential plently of free crochet patterns for these on the internet.
