This year I am making all crocheted items for the gift exchange at work. I made a Messy Mom Bun Beanie for my co-worker that loves to go camping and hiking, another Messy Mom Bun Beanie in the most gorgeous shade of fuchsia for my super-chic artsy co-worker, a super warm beanie cap for the elderly gentleman in the office (his first year with the company was 1946!), a pair of the Dragon Tears Fingerless Gloves for another co-worker, annnnnd that left my boss with nothing crocheted. I was stumped. Until I came up with this super quick, super easy and “manly” simple scarf pattern, that is. I love it so much that I decided to offer it for free. 😀
Simple Scarf for Men
This pattern features a simple two-stitch repeat that creates a beautiful textured effect. This is the same stitch repeat used in our Market Bag free crochet pattern, and works up beautifully for the men (or women!) in your life that you’re just not sure what to gift.
The fact that wind chill is below zero in these parts lately means that my boss gets good use out of it.
The body of this pattern only uses TWO crochet stitches: the single crochet and the double crochet. If you are unfamiliar with either of these stitches, we have video tutorials for each.
Materials:
Big Twist Chunky Yarn in Slate (two skeins)
Crochet hook in size M/N
Notes:
Pattern written using US terms.
The chain at the beginning of the row does not count as a stitch.
Finished dimensions: Approx. 9” wide and 60” long
Gauge: 10.5 sts in 4″ width
Pattern:
Row 1: Ch-25. Sc in 2nd ch from hook, dc in next. *sc in next, dc in next* to end of row. Ch-1, turn. (24)
Row 2: Sc in first (same as ch), dc in next. *sc in next, dc in next* to end. (24)
***in this row and all following rows the sc and dc stitches are offset, meaning you’ll sc in the dcs from the previous row and dc in the scs from previous row to create textured effect***
When desired length is reached, fasten off and weave in ends. Clip some of the remainder of your yarn into 12” strands. Taking three strands at a time, add fringe to every sc opening in the end of the scarf as pictured. Trim the fringe to be uniform annnnnd you’re done! Easy, right?
