Materials Needed

Yarn: Worsted weight, 100% cotton
Crochet Hook: 5.5 mm crochet hook
Gauge: 4 shell stitches and 8 rows = 4 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Row

Begin by making a slip knot and chaining 36. This will serve as the foundation for your scarf.

2. Row 1

Turn your work to start the first row. In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Now, follow these steps:

* Skip the next 2 chains.
In the next chain, make 5 double crochets (this forms your shell).
Skip the next 2 chains.
In the next chain, make 1 double crochet.
Repeat from * across the row.

Once you reach the end, turn your work.

3. Row 2

Start Row 2 by chaining 3 (this counts as your first double crochet). Then, follow these steps:

In the 3rd double crochet of the last shell from Row 1, make 5 double crochets.
In the next double crochet, make 1 double crochet.
Repeat from * across the row, ensuring you end with a double crochet in the top of the turning chain from Row 1.

Turn your work to start the next row.

4. Continue Crocheting

Repeat Row 2 until your scarf measures approximately 60 inches or your desired length. Keep an eye on your gauge to ensure consistency in your stitches.

5. Finishing Up

Once you have reached your desired length, fasten off your yarn by cutting it, leaving a tail of about 6 inches. Pull the tail through the last loop on your hook to secure it. Finally, weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle to give your scarf a neat finish.
