Every Man Scarf

This Scarf is luxurious, warm and elegant with just a bit of color.  
This beautiful scarf is completely reversible too, revealing a different look on either side.  Easy stitches and thicker yarn make it a super quick project too!!

I made it for my sister to give it as a gift for her husband. It turned out to be a precious gift.

Materials:

Crochet hook size 5 mm

2 colors of acrylic yarn

Size:

As desired

Directions:

Color A: shown in gray
Color B: shown in wine red

Note: For striping as shown, work 1 row of each color and alternate for the entire scarf.  When experimenting with striping, I found this sequence showed off the stitches and colors best.

Begin by making a chain as long as you would like your scarf to be.

Row 1 (color A): In the fourth ch from the hook, work a dc.  Work a dc in each ch across.
Row 2 (color B): Ch 3 and turn, work a bpdc (back post double crochet) into each dc across row.  Work a dc in the turning chain.
Row 3 (color A): Ch 3 and turn.  Work a dc into each stitch across. Work a dc in the turning chain.

Repeat rows 2 and 3 until scarf is desired width, ending on row 2 for a nice finished edge.  I worked a total of 16 rows for the scarf shown.  Fasten off.

Bibo's Simple Scarf

This scarf is unisex, and can be modified by choosing different colors, and even different number of rows of each color. Its length is also customizable due to your desire.

As for me I made it for my 10 yr old brother. We chose the colors together (Black, White, and Wine). I finished it in 3 days due to its easy pattern!!

3 colors of acrylic yarn

Size:

I crocheted a total of 26 rows in the following color bands:

Black (8 rows)
White (3 rows)
Wine (4 rows)

Black (8 rows)
I finished the scarf with fringe color coordinated to each band of color. I used four strands of yarn for each tassel. I applied 4 tassels to each band of black, and 1 tassel to each band of white, and two tassels to the wine band.

I learned how to join a tassel to the scarf from the WikiHow website.
