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.

Stash-Buster Scarves

This pattern is good for getting rid of random skeins of yarn that you may have hanging around. When working on these, I was going for toddler to young child sized so they're "skinny scarves".

As a caveat, I'm not very good at writing these up so suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Supplies:
1 skein of yarn or roughly 6oz of random yarn bits that are a similar weight
1 crochet hook that gives you a scarf with a texture you like (or "squidgy" as my sister calls them)

Chain 14
Row 1: Starting at the 2nd chain from the hook, 1 sc in each stitch across, ch 1, turn - 13 sc

Row 2: sc dec over 1st two stitches, ch 1, *sc dec, ch 1, repeat to last stitch, 1 sc, ch 1, turn
* you should still have 13 stitches

Repeat row 2 until the scarf is as long as you want.
