Easy Crochet Scarf Tutorial for Beginners – Simple 2 Row Repeat Pattern

Looking for an easy crochet scarf tutorial for beginners? This simple crochet scarf pattern uses a two row repeat stitch that creates a beautiful textured design with minimal effort.

This scarf is beginner-friendly and perfect for learning double crochet stitches and mesh crochet patterns. The pattern alternates between a solid row and mesh row, creating a light, stylish scarf suitable for fall and winter.

This pattern can be easily customized to make scarves of different lengths and widths by adjusting the starting chain.

Materials Required

• 4 Weight Medium Acrylic Yarn (Loops & Threads Facets Acrylic or similar)
• 4 mm Crochet Hook
• Stitch Marker
• Tapestry Needle
• Scissors

In the original tutorial, Loops and Threads yarn was used. However, you can use any yarn of your choice with a suitable hook size.

Abbreviations Used

• ch – chain
• dc – double crochet
• st – stitch

Pattern Notes

• Foundation chain must be an odd number.
• Chain 2 at the start of each row is a height chain and is ignored.
• The pattern alternates between mesh row and solid row.
• First and last three stitches remain solid to form a clean border.

Foundation Chain

Begin with a slip knot.

Make a foundation chain of your desired length. For the full scarf example, 267 chains were made. For the sample demonstration, 21 chains were used.

Ensure the number of chains is odd.

Row 1 – Double Crochet Row

1. Chain 2 (height chain – ignore).
2. Make 1 double crochet in the first chain.
3. Place a stitch marker in the first DC to track the stitch.
4. Continue making 1 DC in each chain across.
5. You will have the same number of DC stitches as your foundation chain.

Example: If you made 21 chains, you will have 21 double crochet stitches.

Row 2 – Mesh Pattern Row

1. Chain 2 and turn.
2. Make 3 double crochet stitches in the first three stitches.
3. This creates a clean border.
4. Chain 1.
5. Skip the next stitch.
6. Make 1 double crochet in the following stitch.
7. Repeat: Chain 1, skip 1 stitch, 1 DC in next stitch.
8. Continue until the last three stitches remain.
9. Make 1 DC in each of the last three stitches.

This row creates the mesh or hollow square pattern.

Row 3 – Solid Row

1. Chain 2 and turn.
2. Make 3 double crochet stitches at the beginning.
3. Then work into the mesh spaces:
4. Make 1 DC in the chain-1 space.
5. Make 1 DC on top of the previous DC.
6. Repeat: 1 DC in chain space, 1 DC on top of DC.
7. Continue across the row.
8. Finish with 3 DC stitches at the end.

Now you will see the alternating pattern:

• Solid Row
• Mesh Row
• Solid Row

Repeating the Pattern

Continue repeating:

• Row 2 – Mesh Row
• Row 3 – Solid Row

Repeat these rows until the scarf reaches your desired width.

The example scarf was made with 13 rows. For smaller samples you can make:

• 9 rows
• 11 rows
• 13 rows

Always end with an odd number of rows.

Finishing the Scarf

1. Once the desired size is reached, chain 1.
2. Pull the yarn through and cut the yarn.
3. Secure the final stitch.

Adding Tassels

1. Wrap yarn around a book several times.
2. Cut the loops to create strands.
3. Take three strands together.
4. Fold them in half.
5. Insert hook into the chain-2 gap at the edge.
6. Pull the folded yarn through.
7. Pull the tail ends through the loop to secure.
8. Repeat on alternate rows.

Attach tassels on both sides of the scarf.

Final Touch

Use a tapestry needle to weave the starting and ending yarn tails into the tassels to hide them neatly.

And that's it! You have created a beautiful handmade crochet scarf using a simple beginner-friendly pattern.
