Details of the Crochet Scarf Pattern
This pattern uses only simple stitches and is very versatile. You will love using this stitch as it is so easy and suitable for beginner crocheters. Just work your foundation chain to the width you require, using a multiple of 3 ch. Work any number of rows to make the length of your scarf the size you wish.
The Easy Peasy Fingerless Gloves uses the same stitch pattern – make a pair to match!
I love the impact of a bold color blocked scarf. You can choose to make smaller blocks of different colors, or use three big color blocks for a stylish quick project that makes a wonderful handmade gift.
Go bold with your favourite colors to brighten up any outfit on a Winters day! Crochet a cozy Neck Warmer cowl and you will be wrapped up beautifully for any weather:)

Crochet Stitches for a Bulky Yarn Crochet Scarf
This chunky scarf simple pattern uses only basic crochet stitches. You will be using single crochet stitches and ch-2 spaces. No counting and you will be working into the ch-2 space, so no fiddling around to find the next stitch! This stitch pattern is also often called a single crochet v-stitch.
Once you have the foundation row worked, it is a one-row repeat pattern. You have the option of a final row to make a straight edge on your second side.
Yarn for the Simple Crochet Scarf Pattern
Stylecraft Special chunky yarn is one of my favorite yarns for winter crochet scarves. It is affordable and soft and comes in a huge variety of shades! I used a size 6mm crochet hook for my scarf but you could use a larger hook if you wish. If you work to a tight tension a larger hook may give you more drape.
Experiment with the stitch pattern and see what works best for you.
You could use any bulky weight yarn of your choice to make this easy crochet scarf pattern. I used 430m of chunky yarn for my scarf.

Fringing
Cut 26 lengths of yarn approximately 10in/25cm. Make fringes using 1 strand of yarn and fold in half to make each fringe 2 strands of yarn. Attach fringes evenly along each end of the scarf.
I added 13 fringes to each side. Trim if needed.
