Basic Beginner Crochet Scarf
Learn how to crochet a scarf for beginners with this video tutorial.

If you are new to the crochet world and looking for a pattern that doesn't look like your basic stitch repeated 100 times, then check out this Basic Beginner Crochet Scarf. The neat crochet tip in this crochet scarf pattern adds some really great texture. This makes the DIY crochet scarf look like it is a much more complex pattern than it really is to complete. Plus, this crochet video thoroughly goes through and explains each stitch in this crochet pattern, so you can easily work through it!

Ok, I am a beginner to crochet, so I hope this one works for me. I love the way this scarf looks, and I'm already anticipating choosing the color to make my first crocheted scarf. I have made scarves on a loom with lots of different types of yarns. I hope I can conquer this. Wish me luck!

While I have been crocheting for many years I am always looking for new, simple, easy and quick to make projects. Most of the times I use these patterns while we are traveling so I only need to take a small amount of supplies with me. This one is perfect! #NationalCraftMonth2017

Toni, I also made a scarf as my very first project. However, mine was knitted. I remember working so hard on getting the knitting and purl things to go right only to come back to class and have the instructor rip it all out as I made a mistake back at the beginning. I think that is when I began to like crocheting better! #NationalCraftMonth2017

I have to agree with you girls again that crocheting is easier than knitting and I have been out of practice for awhile but I made a scarf for a beginner project when I was in high school. I need to start again soon and may have to do another scarf to remember how to crochet. This is a great video and tutorial it is done very well.
