This fun and fuzzy crocheted yarn scarf is made of fancy eyelash yarn that is perfect for creating a fashion friendly accessory. This project is easy to accomplish using basic crochet stitches. If you are new to crocheting, this is a simple and fast project to whip up with great results. Eyelash yarn is light and somewhat tricky to work with on its own. In this crochet yarn scarf pattern, the eyelash yarn is paired with a 4-ply worsted weight yarn in a matching color to give it more control and bulk.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 2 skeins Eyelash yarn 1 skein 4-ply worsted weight yarn H crochet hook Measuring tape Scissors
  1. Step 1

    Hold the eyelash yarn and the 4-ply worsted weight yarn together.
    Chain 13.
    Turn the chain around and double crochet once in the third chain from the hook.
    Double crochet in each additional chain stitch across for a total of 12 double crochet.

  2. Step 2

    Turn and chain 3. This beginning chain three will count as the first double crochet in the row.
    Double crochet in the top of each additional double crochet stitch across.
    Stitch the last double crochet in the top of the yarn scarf's beginning chain for a total of 12 double crochet.

  3. Step 3

  4. Step 4

    Repeat Step 3 a total of 73 more times. Do not cut the yarn.
    Your yarn scarf should now be approximately 55 inches long with 76 rows. The exact gauge and measurement is not as important in a scarf pattern as there is no real size. Adjust your measurement to fit your personal desire.

  5. Step 5

    Chain 1. Single crochet along the long side of the yarn scarf with 1 single crochet at each row and 1 single crochet between each row.
    Single crochet 3 times at the end of the first long side. Single crochet in each beginning chain across the short end and single crochet 3 times at the end of the row. Single crochet along the other long side of the yarn scarf and single 3 times at the end of the row. Single crochet across the last short end.
    Single crochet 2 times at the end of this short side and slip stitch in the top of the beginning chain one. Cut and fasten off your yarn. Weave in the end.

Tips & Warnings
  • Different brands and styles of eyelash yarn come in varying yardage lengths. Read the labels. To use two skeins of eyelash yarn for this project, they need to have at least 60 yards in each skein.
