Quick Child's Scarf

Quick Child’s Scarf

Med weight yarn
I hook

Foundation row: Chain 20. 1 sc in 2nd chain from hook, *ch 1, sk next chain, 1 sc in ch. Repeat from * to end. ch 1, turn. (10 sc, 9 spaces.)

1st row: 1sc in first sc. 1 sc in first ch 1 sp. *ch 1, sk next chain, 1 sc in ch. Repeat from * to last sc. 1 sc in last sc. Ch 1, turn. (11 sc, 8 spaces)

2nd row: 1 sc in first sc. *ch 1, sk next chain, 1 sc in ch. Repeat from * to end. ch 1, turn. (10 sc, 9 spaces.)

Rows 1 & 2 form the pattern. Repeat until scarf is desired length.

Adjust hook size to taste, I prefer loosely crocheted “squidgy” scarves to a tighter stitch and an I hook with a loose stitch gave a scarf roughly 4 inches wide. I got one scarf with leftover yarn out of a Red Heart Soft Yarn skein. The scarf was also finished in the course of an afternoon’s chat with friends and family on Thanksgiving. The young lady it was intended for was able to leave with it when it was time for her to go home.
