Directions for Plain and Simple Scarf
Abbreviations:
ch = chain
sc = single crochet
sk = skip
sp = space
Size J crochet hook and starting chain of 20 should result in a scarf approx 5" wide. To make the scarf wider or if you'd prefer a skinny scarf, simply increase or decrease the starting chain in increments of two.
With size J hook and worsted weight yarn, ch 20.
Row 1: SC in second ch from hook, *ch 1, sk 1 ch, sc in next*. Repeat from * to *, ending with sc in last ch. Ch 1, turn.
Row 2: SC in first ch 1 sp, *ch 1, sc in next ch 1 sp*. Repeat from * to *, ending with sc in turning ch. Ch 1, turn.
Repeat row 2 until you reach desired length. If you'd like a more finished look, you can make a simple sc border around the scarf, putting 3 sc stitches in each corner. Bind off.
You can make a mini scarf of 18-20" very quickly that will tuck inside a coat, or make a long, skinny scarf that can be wrapped several times or simply draped around the neck.
Even the longer version doesn't take much time at all, and the scarf I did that measured 5" wide by 71" long still took less than a 7oz skein of worsted weight yarn. If you are making a mini scarf or scarfette, you should be able to get two or three from a 7oz skein.
The possibilities are endless with this simple pattern. Be sure to check out the additional photos above to see more color variations.

great instructions
great article,
I need to show my sister your patterns. She's better at crocheting and knitting than I am and she's always looking for new patterns. Thanks :)
..you are so multi-talented
Yeah, sure, but in the first place you have to be sober and second, it helps if you only have two thumbs, in separate hands.
Great patterns!
I have done crochet before but never from a pattern - my mother would have loved this.
I have never tried crochet before, but whenever I see reference to it like this article it reminds me of my grandmother, who was (in my mind) a master! Thanks for the memory!
I think I mentioned before that I have not crocheted in years, but I sure would like to give it a whirl again during the long winter months! I believe I bookmarked another pattern you provided and I will do the same with this one because I think even I can handle this one!
