CROCHET: Simple Crochet Scarf~For Beginners

[@janmclellan8963]

even though this was from 2020 I used this video in 2022 and found your video the best for making my scarfs and tassels Thankyou please make mofr videos like this Luv IT!

Like many on here I am a beginner (although I’ve been making beanies for probably 4 years) and your pace and style of direction is perfect! I’m working with a mandala yarn that is really tiny and almost gave up using it until I found this tutorial. My confidence has increased as I’ve worked through the video, and I’m getting to finally make something with this amazing color changing yarn. Thank you!!!

Wonderful, and you are most welcome! This just touches my heart, thank you for your kind comment :)

I know this tutorial was made in 2020 but it is so relaxing and easy to follow compared to a lot of others so I hope you are able to make more tutorials as I am left handed and have to watch a few times to catch on but your tutorial was very easy for me and a million thank yous again!!

Doing this pattern with a chunkier yarn, very excited! Most patterns I see are running the full length of the scarf, and that was not good for me b/c I wanted to do a color-block situation, so this will work perfectly!

Wonderful, I think that will look great! I love that you adapted this pattern to a different yarn...there are always so many possibilities :)

Oh lordy. First time Crocheting ever. Going to learn how from this pattern! I just need to figure out how to switch yarns half way through so I can create a bumble bee scarf! Wish me luck

[@createandcrochetwithpatricia]

You can do it! Here is a revised version of this pattern, I think I might teach better in this one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pp3KfqOuq7aAiZI To change colors, simply join your new color in the middle of the last stitch at the end of the row. Begin your half-double crochet, and before you finish the stitch, cut the yarn and add the new color for the rest of the stitch. It's similar to changing colors in this tutorial, but it's using a single crochet. I think it will help you get the idea though... kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqLHqnR4qrdjq5I (see the 8:00 minute mark on how to change colors). Have fun!

[@happylilac29]

I'm making placemats for my dining room table with this stitch. It's beautiful, I can whip up one placemat in 2 evenings (did one a day when I was on bedrest) I do them with 65 stitches per row, starting with 67 for my foundation chain. I just love this stitch. I do use the stitch marker so I know when to change to back/both loops. But I do have to write down if I'm on back loop or both loops if I set it down for more than a few minutes. Thank you for this tutorial. I also made my dad a scarf using this. After I cut the yarn for the tassels, my dad said he didn't want tassels. It's too bad, as I have a lot of scraps of yarn lol. I am making myself a scarf with tassels, but I'm making mine a different color. Maybe I'll make another scarf with the yarn I used for my dad but with tassels and gift it to someone.

[@createandcrochetwithpatricia]

Wonderful! I love to see people take something like this and do other projects with it. The placemats are a great idea! Did you use acrylic or cotton yarn for them? Thank you for sharing the stitch count too for others to follow your lead!

[@promise372]

@createandcrochetwithpatricia I used both (not for the same placemats) I did a few with cotton and some with acrylic. I made green ones for st Patrick's day, red/green/white for Christmas, orange and black yarn for Halloween, pink ombre for valentine's day, etc. And some I made that just fit the color scheme of my dining room. This stitch holds up well when washed, which I'm so happy about

The link is in the description box below the video which reads, "blog post with written directions", and all the information is there!

[@PolyBiBadger]

Let me see if I have this correct. Row two is half double crochet in both loops, row three is a half double crochet in the first and last stitch while the ones in between are half double crochet in the back loop only, then row three is like row two, row four and five are like row three?

[@createandcrochetwithpatricia]

Row two starts and ends with hdc in both loops, but with 1 hdc in the top loop of each stitch in between. Row three is 1 hdc in both loops of all the stitches (you have written it the other way around). You then repeat rows two and three until the scarf is the length you like. So row four is a repeat of row two, row five is a repeat of three, row six is a repeat of row two, row seven is a repeat of row three...and so on. The written pattern is in the description box below the video, so that may help you as well (click on see more, or more...).

I love the yarn you picked, but they sadly don't sell that brand in my country 😭 I'll try to look for something similar, because the colours are beautiful, and having it change colours like that makes the scarf instantly more exciting. Also, you have a very calming voice, which is so pleasant to listen to. Looking forward to giving this project a try.

Wonderful! There are so many lovely self-striping or variegated yarns out these days, so I'm sure you will find something suitable. Thank you for your kind comment! 🙂

[@lilburro3]

If you are able to order online you should look there. I prefer to shop local whenever possible, but sometimes It’s not possible. I’ve found some great variegated yarn from small shops I don’t have access to, and there is amazon as well (although I try not to use them as they take money out of the pockets of independent sellers). Just a thought. Happy crocheting!

[@ninawth]

@@lilburro3 Thank you for the advise! I had checked online, but I could only find it in the UK and USA. Importing that into the EU would be so incredibly expensive - multiple times the cost of the yarn itself. Amazon is not really a thing here, either, so it would still have to come from America probably (and also it's one of the most evil entities on this planet, so I wouldn't buy from there even if I could). I'm sticking to another type of yarn for now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@createandcrochetwithpatricia]

I think I answered this in your previous question. The way crochet pattern work is that you have a pattern repeat. This can be just one row, or several rows. The pattern repeat creates a pattern and texture for the fabric. That pattern is then repeated several times, and not with locking it off after each repeat, which is called fastening off in crochet terminology). I hope this helps.

[@arnavparikh7276]

How do I straighten my edges Any hack?

[@createandcrochetwithpatricia]

If you are already well along, then blocking the scarf can help. Just search "how to block crochet" on YT and you'll find lots of tutorials. To prevent the edges from going wonky, make sure you are counting your stitches. It is easy to miss a stitch at the beginning or end of a row. Crochet tension can also be an issue, so you can check out this tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqmkh4eElLlmo80 🙂👍

For sure! Use the size hook recommended for the yarn of your choice (it will say on the wrapping). You can also use a larger hook for the number 4 yarn...a 4.5mm or 5mm would be fine. It just makes the stitches bigger and looser, but that may be what you want! Crochet is very forgiving and you can change things up all the time.

The extra two chains are your turning chain and count as your first half-double crochet (hdc). You then do a hdc into the 3rd chain from the loop on your hook (see 3:28 in the video) and continue to do a hdc in each stitch to the end of the chain. You should have 21 stitches including the turning ch2. Hope that helps!

How much yarn u used in g?

[@al3xisonline]

Is there a reason why you only chain 1 when moving to a new row? I've always been taught to chain 2 when starting a new hdc row.

[@createandcrochetwithpatricia]

Good question! A ch 2 leaves a bigger space on the outside edge of the scarf whereas a ch 1 leaves a nice tight edge. It's just a preference 😀

Hello How many grams did u consume in making this,?

I’m struggling to do Mine 🙁

[@createandcrochetwithpatricia]

Just be patient with yourself and keep practicing. Crochet can be awkward at first, but with practice you will get the hang of it. It is ok to unravel and try again several times! Did you check out my Beginner Crochet Series? There is a link in the description box below the video :)

[@icouldbeanyone598]

Where did you get the scissors??!

@@createandcrochetwithpatricia so I need a ball of yarn that weights 85grams

[@createandcrochetwithpatricia]

@@randnstars8225 ...not necessarily, I always use the length and gauge of yarn. So I would recommend approximately 260 meters of yarn in a number 4, medium weight (or worsted) yarn. The Lion Brand Ferris Wheel yarn happens to be 85 gms per ball. However, a different brand of yarn might weigh more, but not have the same length of yarn. For example, Bernat Handicrafter yarn weighs 50 gm per ball, but is only 73 meters in length. If you pro-rate that, 85 grams would only be 124 meters and that is not enough for this project.

[@sumedharavishankar6359]

Whenever I crochet it curves and yours doesn't. What am I doing wrong?

[@createandcrochetwithpatricia]

It is possibly your tension, and if you are new to crochet, it can take a bit of practice to get comfortable with that. Check out this video for some helpful tips: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWXag4Rma7Sdhck

[@florenceridley]

How many grams of yarn did you use? X

[@createandcrochetwithpatricia]

The scarf used one full ball of the Ferris Wheel Yarn which is 85gms (3oz) and has 247 meters (270 yards) of yarn. The finished length is 152 cm (60 inches) without tassels. If you want tassels, you'd need approximately another 13 meters (14 yards). I made a matching hat, which only used about 3/4 of a ball of the same yarn, so there was enough yarn from that ball to make the tassels. :)

Also you might use a lighter yarn and stop to show what the work is supposed to look like

[@createandcrochetwithpatricia]

Good idea :)

[@AmazonReviewsAndMore247]

This pattern was not so easy..... Definitely REQUIRED to count stitches. Which I hate lol 😆 Use a larger hook for this pattern. Or you will pull your hair out and throw this across the room before row 5.....

[@createandcrochetwithpatricia]

If you don't like counting stitches, then you would probably love free-form crochet! Have you ever tried this style of crochet? Here is a playlist on how to do free-form: kzbin.info/aero/PLVxSmwID02OBSOOK2rrFs8VQybZisCqJA Also, it sounds like your crochet tension is on the tight side, so going up a size in crochet hook is the perfect solution for that!

[@AmazonReviewsAndMore247]

@@createandcrochetwithpatricia i will definitely look into it. I have used patterns that are counting. But for some reason I cannot do these single stitch type scarfs. The lace ones seem to be the easiest!!

[@SharkbaitDC]

How is this for beginners 😢

[@createandcrochetwithpatricia]

I do recommend that you start with my Beginner Crochet Series. It shows all the basics of crochet including proper crochet tension, how to hold the hook, and how to do all the basic stitches. The link is in the description box below, but here it is for your convenience. patriciafentie.com/2019/06/17/beginner-crochet-series/ Once you know the basics, then this pattern is a great one to start with. I have another tutorial that is even easier, especially if you stay with one color of yarn: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqLHqnR4qrdjq5I Don't give up!!! It's a lot of fun and you just need to practice. And it's totally ok to make mistakes and to take awhile to learn!

[@SharkbaitDC]

I did it! 🎉 thank you so much. I went through the tutorial series. And Now I’m well underway with this one. I don’t think I have my original odd number of stitches, might be skipping some on accident, but it is still coming out great. Since it’s a gift I don’t think I’ll hear many complaints hahaha.

[@createandcrochetwithpatricia]

@@SharkbaitDC Wonderful!!! 👍👌👏 I'm so glad you persisted! It is always a challenge to learn a new skill, especially something like crochet where you are having to coordinate both hands. Well done...and no one will know if you missed a stitch! The more you practice, the easier it will get. 😃

[@carriet6397]

I watched your other beginner videos before this one and I’ve watched how you did your second row and I just can’t follow, I’m just a slow learner and you go too fast. 😢

[@createandcrochetwithpatricia]

If you go to settings under the video (the little gear icon) and choose "playback speed". This allows you to slow the video down for easier viewing. Try 0.75 or 0.5 and that will really help! Don't give up...it just takes a bit of time to get the swing of it. Crochet is quite complex to learn because you have to coordinate both hands, but once you have the hang of it you will do great! 👌👍

[@donniebaker5648]

I don't even find this helpful !! You don't explain what a stitch is and you do 20 , 20 what ??? And then coming back is terrible ,

[@createandcrochetwithpatricia]

I always recommend that you start with my beginner crochet series that explains everything from how to do a slip knot, how to have proper crochet tension and how to do all the basic stitches. You can find that here: patriciafentie.com/2019/06/17/beginner-crochet-series/ Don't give up! Crochet is a wonderful pass time and is very calming for the mind.
