Easy to Crochet Scarf for All Skill Levels
I somehow found time between all the Christmas parties, cookies, and present opening to design this simple crochet scarf pattern and I love how it turned out!
Read on down to find the free crochet scarf pattern for beginners to get started today!
The Yarn You’ll Want to Use to Make This Beginner-Friendly Scarf
I used Loops & Threads® Country Loom™ Yarn from Michaels in shale. This was my first time using this bulky yarn and I have to say I really loved it.
You only need less than 2 skeins of this yarn and the color combinations are endless because of the great variety that Michaels stores carries. If you can’t find this yarn Lion Brand Homespun is a great alternative!
It is super soft and the shale color is so beautiful with its mixture of gray, brown and tan tones. Take a look at the Country Loom yarn and let me know what you think.
The Easy Crochet Stitch to Make this Simple Crochet Scarf
I decided to use a simple double crochet stitch for this entire pattern, so it would be perfect for beginner crocheters.
Double Crochet (dc):
- Wrap the yarn over (yo) the hook, insert the hook into the specified st.
- Yo the hook again, draw the yarn through the st, so there are 3 loops on the hook
- Yo the hook again draw it through 2 loops, so there are 2 loops on the hook
- Yo the hook, draw it through the final 2 loops.
Since it uses this easy crochet stitch, it really is a quick one-hour project!

Hi, I’m a complete novice at crochet, how do you ‘slip stitch’ or ‘chain’
Hi Bernadette,
I updated the post to include the stitch explanations with links to tutorials in the pattern.
I hope this helps, and happy crocheting!

With this work using just regular homespun yarn not the thick and quick
Hi Angela, It would, but it would not turn out to be the same size since the regular homespun is not as chunky. I would suggest holding two skeins together at the same time to try to get a similar thickness.
Happy Crocheting!
Krista
Can I make this with a bulky yarn instead of super bulky?
Hi Nancy,
Sure! It would just be a little smaller 🙂
Krista
hi, just wondering if it uses exactly 208yards as the wool I’d like to use comes in skiens of 88yards. thanks!
Hi Alex,
It is a little less than 208 yards but I am not sure exactly how much since it has been awhile since I made this.
Krista
If I want to make this bigger just add more chains to the foundation row? Is there a multiple number I need to use? Love the color!
Hi Jill,
You are correct! Just add any amount of chains. Hope this helps.
Krista
Which hook size do you recommend, you mention 9mm N (a 9 mm hook is M, a 10 mm hook is N)?
Hi Laura,
9 mm can be marked M & N it all depends on the brand. Hope this helps.
Krista, can this be started with a foundation double crochet? Also I would like to make it 16″ wide.
Hi Barb,
Sure! 🙂
Sooooo….your pattern says to “be careful not to twist the yarn” (chain). If I do, does it make a huge difference?? (I’m reluctant to pull out my first row, even though I did twist it 🙁 )
Thanks for any advice you can provide!
Signed,
Lazy crocheter! 😉
No it doesn’t matter I suppose. You will just have a twisted scarf 🙂 lol 🙂
Thanks, Krista! I just continued…..I REALLY wanted to assess how it turned out. So fun – great pattern!! NOW I have a “mobius simple double crochet scarf”!! Hehehe!
I’m definitely doing another – correctly this time! 😀
You are welcome! 🙂 Glad it turned out!
