CROCHET WINTER SCARF

I just love this super simple double crochet stitch because it looks the same on both sides which makes it perfect for a scarf! Connect the ends and turn it into an infinity scarf or add some fringe to dress it up!

Supplies:

• 3 Skeins 2.5 oz Lily Sugar'n Cream Cotton Yarn
• USA size K hook (6.5 mm)
• Yarn needle
• Scissors

A close-up of the stitch!

Directions:

• Chain 26
• Row 1 - double crochet into the 4th chain stitch from hook (into the 23rd chain).  Continue dc stitches into each of rest of the chain stitches across (23 dc total).
• Row 2 - chain 3 and turn.  This pattern will be doing alternating front post dc and back post dc for the entire row.  View a tutorial here.  Double crochet around the front of the second double crochet in the row below, then dc around the back of the next dc in the row below, etc. Repeating the around the front and around the back of all the dc's in the row below for a total of 22 dc to end of row (23 including the 3 chains as a dc stitch).
• Row 3 - chain 3 and turn. The front and back post dc continues, but you will now do the opposite of row 2 because you will start with a back post instead of a front.  Dc around the back of the 2nd dc in the row below, then around the front of the next, etc. until the end of the row for a total of 22 stitches (23 including the 3 chains as a dc).
• Rows 4-90 - Repeat rows 2 -3.
• Finish with a slip stitch and weave loose ends.

You can leave it as is (simple!) or

• Make it into an infinity scarf by connecting the ends or
• Decorate the ends with fringe!
