This simple striped scarf is the perfect lightweight all-year-rounder. It’s slim enough even for Summer, but you can still wrap it up tight for Winter.

It uses just one main stitch, but the way it’s worked allows you to create this beautiful texture so it makes a great project for beginner crocheters looking to develop their skills.

You’ll also find a stitch guide included before the pattern to help you with any unfamiliar stitches / stitch placements.

The scarf is worked in turned rows, where the turning chain doesn’t count as a stitch. You then have the option to either leave it as it is or to seam your scarf and turn it into a snood.

You’ll need just 3 x 50g balls of yarn – one in each colour – or you could mix up the stripes if your prefer. Try changing colours every other row or even working your scarf in just the one colour.

Happy crocheting!
