Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky yarn (choose your favorite color)
• Crochet Hook: 10mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 6 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Chain 20: Start by making a slip knot on your hook. Chain 20 stitches. This will be the width of your scarf.
2. Row 1: Starting in the second chain from the hook, work 1 half double crochet (hdc) in each chain across. To do this, yarn over, insert your hook into the chain, yarn over again, pull through (you should have three loops on your hook), yarn over once more and pull through all three loops on your hook. Once you reach the end of the row, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 1 to begin the next row. Now, work 1 hdc in the back loop only of each stitch across. To find the back loop, look at the stitch; you will see two loops. The back loop is the one that is furthest from you. This technique creates the ribbed texture. After completing this row, turn your work.
4. Repeat Row 2: Continue repeating Row 2 until your scarf reaches your desired length. Measure your scarf as you go to ensure it’s the perfect size for you or the person you’re making it for. A typical scarf length is about 60 inches, but feel free to adjust this based on your preference.
5. Fasten Off: Once your scarf is the desired length, cut the yarn, leaving a long tail (about 6 inches). Pull the tail through the last loop on your hook to secure it. This is called fastening off.
6. Weave in Ends: Using your tapestry needle, weave in any loose ends from where you started and finished your scarf. This will give your scarf a clean, professional look.

And there you have it! Your very own chunky ribbed crochet scarf. Enjoy wearing it or gifting it to someone special. Happy crocheting!
