Each winter, I usually crochet myself a new scarf. It is so relaxing to crochet in front of the television with the heater on. This year I designed an easy crochet scarf that is worked lengthwise. Made with chunky yarn, it consists of 7 rows and can be easily crocheted in a couple of evenings. It features slits in the scarf which add an interesting design element. It is such an easy crochet scarf pattern and is perfect for beginner crocheters.
I used Patons Inca yarn in coral (approximate 14 ply yarn). It is light and lofty and crochets up beautifully and is extra warm.

I made this scarf in red for the “Red Scarf Foster Care” project. Came out great and certainly was easy. The only thing I did different was to single crochet around the outside as it gave the ends a bit more of a clean and sturdy look.
Sounds lovely and for such a great cause!
