I made this scarf for a friend of mine for Christmas. Yes, I’m posting this before I give it away. Hopefully, the recipient won’t be viewing this page before they receive it.

Crocheted Striped Scarf

It’s crocheted in 4 ply worsted weight yarn. Here’s the basic pattern all done in HDC (Half double crochet).

Crochet a foundation chain as long as you want the width to be. Since this scarf was for a man, I chained 26. For a woman, I think I’d chain around 18 or so.

Hook size: I

Rows 1-6 Color 1

*Rows 7-18 Color 2
Row 19-20 Color 1
Rows 21-22 Color 2
Rows 23-24 Color 1
Rows 25-26 Color 2
Rows 27-28 Color 1*

Repeat rows 7-28 until you get the length you want, then crochet 6 rows of Color 1.
