Scarf crochet pattern for beginners
Step-by-step crochet instructions
Step 1
Make a foundation chain of 23 chs or multiples of 2 chs plus 1 additional chain.
Step 2
Nuts pattern
1st row (right side) – h2ch, sc to end + RC1
At the end of the 1st row you should have 21 single crochets.
2nd row (wrong side) – h2ch, sc1, [CL1, sc1] to end + RC1
At the end of the 2nd row you should have 11 single crochets and 10 clusters.
3 and 5 rows = 1st row
4 and 6 rows = 2nd row
Step 3
SC rows
7 – 12 rows = 1st row
Step 4
Nuts pattern
13th row = 1st row
14th row = 2nd row
Alternate the two rows of the pattern until you crochet the desired length of the scarf.
Step 5
Crochet as a mirror reflection, repeat step 3 (sc rows) and step 2 (nuts pattern). Work your very last row as the first sc row.
Cut the yarn and secure it.
