Inspired by all of those beautiful, chunky yarns at the craft store and my desire to make lots of scarves really fast, this double-wrapped, crochet scarf is the epitome of, "Super Chunky."
Whether you're a beginner or seasoned crocheter, you'll love whipping up these squishy scarves for your friends, family, customers, instagram followers, cat, self...everyone!
*Hi! If you're reading this in 2020, scroll to the bottom for a little update!**
What you'll need
about 220 yards (200 meters) of super bulky yarn like Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick or Paintbox Wool Mix Super Chunky. This is about two skeins of these yarns.
To begin, Chain 95 (be sure not to chain too tightly).
slip stitch to join your chain in the round and be careful not to twist your chain.
Round 1: Chain 2, Half-double crochet into each stitch on your chain. When you reach the end of your round, slip stitch into the top of your chain 2 from the beginning of the round.
Round 2: Chain 2, Half-double crochet into the "back bar" of your stitches. This is also known as the "camel stitch." Do this into every stitch. When you reach the end of your round, slip stitch into the top of your chain 2 from the beginning of the round.
Round 3: Chain 2, Half-double crochet into every stitch normally, under both legs of the stitch and not into the back bar as you did previously. When you reach the end of your round, slip stitch into the top of your chain 2 from the beginning of the round.
Round 4: Chain 2, Half-double crochet into every stitch, this time working into the back loops only. When you reach the end of your round, slip stitch into the top of your chain 2 from the beginning of the round.
Repeat rounds 1-4 one more time. Fasten off and weave in your ends!
The abbreviated version of the pattern is: Ch 95, join in round, Round 1: HDC, Round 2: HDC back bar (camel stitch), Round 3: HDC, Round 4: HDC BLO. Repeat for a total of 8 rounds.
There you have it! I hope you like this little free pattern and I'd love to see what you make! Feel free to share your creations with me on social media and Ravelry.
2020 UPDATE!
If you liked this pattern, you'll LOVE its new baby brother, the "Great Start Super Scarf." It's a new pattern I just designed with the beginner crocheter in mind. It's a very similar scarf but it comes with a high quality PDF printable and a video tutorial! *yay*
