Crocheting a Scarf - Free Crochet Pattern
The number of rows l must be divisible by 3.
Using Dark Grey yarn, chain 144 sts with a size 10 Crochet Hook, or very loosely with a size 9 Crochet Hook. Join the chain with a slip stitch. (Make sure the chain doesn't twist.)
Crochet the rest of the col using a size 9 Crochet Hook
Round 1: 1 stitch in each stitch.
Row 2: 3 ch., 1 ch., 1 dc in the same st, skip 2 sts. *In the next st: 1 dc, 1 ch., 1 dc, skip 2 sts.* Repeat from * to *. Fasten off with a sl st in the top of the 3 ch. Pull your loop a little longer and attach a Stitch Marker to it. Do not cut your yarn.
Round 3: Join a Light Grey yarn in the first 1-ch space, crochet 3 ch, 1 ch, 1 dc. *In the next 1-ch space, 1 dc, 1 ch, 1 dc.* Repeat *-* When you close this round with a slip stitch in the top chain stitch, make sure your loop and the yarn from the previous round are in front of your work. Now pull a large loop again and move the Stitch Marker from the loop of Round 2 to the loop of Round 3.
4th row: Insert your Crochet Hook into the loop from row 2, pull it tight, and crochet 3 ch., 1 ch., 1 dc in the opening below your 3 starting ch. (So you’re crocheting the single crochet around rows 2 and 3.) This actually creates a V-stitch (1 single crochet, 1 chain, 1 single crochet). Work a V-stitch between each V-stitch from row 3. Fasten off with a slip stitch. The yarn and loop from row 3 may remain on the back. Pull a loop through and switch the Stitch Markers back.
Row 5: Pull your Light Grey loop forward through the Dark Grey V-stitch (which is directly in front of your loop), chain 3, chain 1, single crochet; insert the hook into the same opening as the stitch from Row 4 to make the single crochet.
Rows 6 through 24: Alternate between repeating rows 4 and 5. On row 23, fasten off your Light Grey yarn.
Row 25: 3 ch., 2 tr. in the next 1-ch. space, *1 tr. in the next space (between 2 stitches), 2 tr. in the next 1-ch. space.* Repeat from * to *. Fasten off.
To finish, crochet one on both sides using Light Grey yarn.
