Crochet a Scarf Using Single Crochet

If you need to make a scarf and you're just a beginner, here's a really fun, easy way to do it!

Steps

Start by making a chain approx. {{safesubst:#invoke:convert|convert}} long. (approx. 120 stitches). If you want a longer scarf, add more chain stitches until you reach your desired length. Turn and single crochet in the second stitch from the hook.
Single crochet (sc) and continue to sc to the end of the chain. Chain 1 and turn.
Repeat step 2 until you have reached the desired width of your scarf. Finish off.
Add tassels to your scarf.
- Take a piece of yarn approx. {{safesubst:#invoke:convert|convert}} long and fold in half.
- Weave the yarn piece into the end stitches of the scarf by taking the hook and pushing it through the stitch. Then loop the yarn piece onto the hook and pull the hook through the stitch with the looped yarn piece on the hook.
- Once the yarn piece is pulled through the stitch, remove the hook and pull the ends of the yarn piece through the loop on the other side and pull tight to create the tassel. Continue in this manner until all end stitches have a tassel.
- Trim the tassels so that they are even. Repeat step 4 on the other end of the scarf.
Finished.

Do your best and don't rush. You're not in a fastest-crochet contest.
Don't spend too long on steps 2 and 3. Only do it until your scarf is the way you want it.
If you can, you might want to loop long strings through holes on the short ends for some scarf-like effects. If you're not classic like that you can make little stars, hearts, circles, triangles, squares, or any other shape you want out of colored pipe cleaners, and loop those through the loops on the ends.
Don't spend too long doing this. Don't forget about other things too.
If you don't want a {{safesubst:#invoke:convert|convert}} scarf, make it 2-3 or 3-4 feet.

Crochet hook that is a good width for your yarn, otherwise an inexpensive, nice crochet hook that is at the store.
Yarn that is your favorite color, or if you are doing this to sell, then lots of yarn in lots of different colors. If you are just giving them out, then ask what color the person/people want(s) and use that color.
You should keep a tape measure handy for measuring. If you are selling, make two to five of each color, one or more of the 2-5 being {{safesubst:#invoke:convert|convert}}, one or more being 3-4, and one or more being 4-5.
Once again, if you are selling, you will probably want a box, bin, basket, or other large container for all the scarves. Please note that if you're making lots to sell, don't expect to be able to make 30 scarves in 5 days.
