Husband Comments: I love this scarf because it is long. Most scarves are not long enough.
Husband Scarf Pattern:
Row 1: With N Hook, Chain 275, Chain 3, turn (It’s REALLY long. You could stop at 225 for adults or 175 for children).
- Chaining with a larger, looser hook prevents the scarf from curving.
Row 2: Double crochet in next stitch (front loop), then double crochet until end of row, chain 3, turn.
Row 3: Double crochet in next stitch. Chain 2. Double crochet in next 2 stitches. Repeat to end of row. Chain 3. Turn. This added a simple design element.
Row 4: Double crochet in first 2 stitches. Double crochet in the space. repeat to end of row.
Rows 5-8: Double crochet in each stitch (2 loops) to end of row. Chain 2. Turn.
Row 9: Double crochet in each stitch to end of row. Slip stitch to end. Cut end and thread through.
Modification One:
For my son who has a gray and orange coat, I chained Row 1, did 3 Double crochet rows, then did Row 3 as above, followed by another 3 rows. Then I chain stitched orange thread and passed through the loops (as in Row 3 above). At the ends, I wrapped around the edge and threaded through.
Modification Two:
For my daughter who is just six years old, I skipped Row 3 (as above) and only did 6 rows.
Modification Three:
My husband wanted another scarf that was thinner. I skipped Row 3 and just did a total of 6 rows and used a lighter weight yarn. The effect is a “dressy” scarf instead of a warm weather scarf.
