I have probably made a hundred of these scarfs in the past
couple of years. They are easy to work
on since you don’t need to count stitches except for the starting chain. Even that is variable since you can make the
scarf as long as you like. Because you
are crocheting in the back loop of each stitch the scarf has a nice ribbed look
when it is finished. The finished size is approximately 4” x 60”.
With worsted
weight yarn and size H hook, chain 230 stitches. HDC in third chain from hook and in each
chain across. CH 2 and turn. HDC in the Back Loop of each
HDC to the end. CH 2, turn and HDC in
the back loop of each HDC. Repeat rows
until scarf is the width you desire. I like to finish my scarf with a final row
worked in SC in the back loop only.
It takes about 3 oz. of yarn to make each scarf depending on
how long and how wide you make it. I have never needed more than one skein of
yarn to make this scarf.
For a more decorative (instead of practical) version of this
scarf, ch 275 stitches. Work in the
above pattern until the scarf is only about 2 inches wide. Finish off.
Tie the scarf around your neck in a very, very loose Windsor knot (like
a loosened man’s necktie).
