Materials Needed

• Yarn: Bulky weight yarn in a soft peach color
• Hook: Size K (6.5 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 stitches and 4 rows = 2 inches in pattern stitch
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Foundation Chain: Begin by making a slip knot and chaining 22. This will be the width of your scarf.
2. Row 1:
   • In the third chain from the hook, work a half double crochet (hdc).
   • Continue to hdc in each chain across the row.
   • At the end of the row, you should have 20 hdc. Turn your work.
3. Row 2:
   • Chain 2 (this counts as your first hdc for this row and all subsequent rows).
   • Now, work a front post half double crochet (FPHDC) around the next stitch.
   • Next, work a back post half double crochet (BPHDC) around the following stitch.
   • Repeat the pattern of FPHDC and BPHDC across the row, alternating between the two stitches.
   • End the row with a hdc in the top of the turning chain from the previous row. Turn your work.
4. Continue Crocheting:
   • Repeat Row 2 until your scarf measures approximately 60 inches or your desired length. Make sure to keep your tension consistent for an even texture.
5. Finishing Touches:
   • Once you reach your desired length, fasten off your yarn by cutting it, leaving a tail of about 6 inches.
   • Use your tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends securely.
