Crochet Scarf

Today I will show you how to make a crochet scarf.
First you will need some yarn and a crochet hook.
Then you make a knot with the crochet hook and start doing the basic crochet stitch or braid. You can make it as long as you want your scarf to be; I made about 280 stitches because I like long scarves.

Once you have figured out the length that you want it, make 2 more stitches.
Then you put the yarn over the hook and slip it in the last stitch before you made the 2 extra stitches.
 Put yarn over the hook again and slip it through the first stitch on the hook so it looks like the picture
 Then you will put yarn over the hook again and slip it through all three stitches on the hook

After this you make another basic stitch (braid stitch)
 Now you skip a stitch and repeat the same steps


 It should start looking like this
 Once you are done with the first row, you make 2 more stitches (after each row make the 2 stitches)
 And you repeat the same steps (skipping the 2 extra stitches you make at the end of each row)

 This is what it should look like after 2 complete rows.
Make as many rows as you want your scarf width to be ( I made 12 rows on mine)
This is the finished scarf...You can leave it like this or make a fringe if you like.
To make the fringe, cut strands of yarn as shown on the picture
Take 3 of the strands and put them in through the 1st two holes at the end.
Put the strands through the loop and pull; Repeat for the other holes
This is what the completed scarf looks like with the fringe.

Here are some other scarves I've made.
