Crochet Scarf Patterns
Crochet scarf patterns are long rectangles worked in rows, which makes them one of the best first projects for new crocheters. An adult scarf is usually 6–8 inches wide and 60–72 inches long. Chunky yarn finishes a scarf in an evening or two, while textured stitches add warmth and visual interest.

What is the easiest scarf to crochet?
The easiest scarf to crochet is a chunky-yarn rectangle in rows of half double crochet or double crochet. It needs only a foundation chain, one repeated stitch, and turning, and grows quickly enough to finish in a few hours.
Frequently asked questions
How many stitches wide should a scarf be?
It depends on gauge; chain enough to reach 6–8 inches, often 15–25 stitches in bulky yarn.
How do I add tassels to a scarf?
Wrap yarn around a card, tie the top, cut the bottom, and wrap a strand around the neck of the tassel before sewing it on.
