Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in a soft cream color
• Hook: Size H/8 (5.0 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 16 stitches and 10 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Chain 30: Start by making a slip knot on your hook. Chain 30 stitches. This will be the foundation of your scarf.
2. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Continue to make a dc in each chain across the row. At the end of the row, turn your work.
3. Row 2:
   1. Chain 2 (this counts as your first dc for this row and all subsequent rows).
   2. Now, *make a front post double crochet (fpdc) around the next dc from the previous row, then make a back post double crochet (bpdc) around the next dc. Repeat from * across the row.
   3. Finish the row by making a final fpdc around the last dc, then dc in the top of the turning chain from Row 1. Turn your work.
4. Repeat Row 2: Continue to repeat Row 2 until your scarf measures approximately 60 inches or your desired length. Remember to keep your tension consistent for an even texture.
5. Fasten Off: Once your scarf reaches the desired length, cut your yarn, leaving a long tail. Pull the tail through the last loop on your hook to secure it.
6. Weave in Ends: Using your tapestry needle, weave in any loose ends to finish your scarf neatly. This will help prevent unraveling and give your scarf a polished look.
