Materials Needed

• Yarn: Medium weight (4) yarn in pink, purple, and light blue
• Crochet Hook: 5.0 mm (H-8) crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 inches = 14 stitches in double crochet
• Scissors: For trimming yarn ends
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring by wrapping the yarn around your fingers and pulling a loop through. Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
2. Work Double Crochets: Into the magic ring, work 11 double crochets (dc). To do this, yarn over, insert your hook into the ring, yarn over again, pull through, yarn over, pull through two loops, yarn over, pull through the last two loops. Pull tight on the magic ring to close it.
3. Join the Round: Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain 3. This completes your first round.
4. Begin the Body of the Scarf: For the next rows, continue working in double crochet. Change colors every 10 rows, alternating between pink and purple. To change colors, simply finish the last double crochet of the previous color, then pull the new color through the last two loops to complete the stitch.
5. Continue Crocheting: Work in double crochet until the scarf reaches your desired length, approximately 60 inches. Make sure to count your stitches to maintain evenness throughout the scarf.
6. Create the Lace Edge: Once you reach the desired length, switch to light blue yarn. Chain 5, skip 2 stitches, and slip stitch into the next stitch. Repeat this pattern across the row to create a lovely lace edge.
7. Add the Fringe: To create the fringe, cut strands of light blue yarn about 12 inches long. Fold each strand in half and attach them to the ends of the scarf by pulling the folded end through the edge of the scarf and pulling the loose ends through the loop. Repeat until you have added fringe to both ends of the scarf.
8. Finish Up: Weave in all loose ends using a tapestry needle. Trim any excess yarn as necessary to keep your scarf looking neat and tidy.
