even though this was from 2020 I used this video in 2022 and found your video the best for making my scarfs and tassels Thankyou please make mofr videos like this Luv IT!
Thank you! I will soon be uploading a revised version of this tutorial...for the most part, the pattern is the same but it looks quite different!
I just finished this - my first crochet project. And I love it! I’ve knitted for years but am just now tackling crochet. Thank you for this great pattern!
Oh, that is so great...welcome to the wonderful world of crochet! 👌👍
Thank you for this excellent video. You are a wonderful teacher! You explain everything so clearly and your voice is so calming. This scarf and hat will be my next project. Thanks again! God bless! 🙏❤
You are so welcome! I'm glad you found your way here :)
Doing this pattern with a chunkier yarn, very excited! Most patterns I see are running the full length of the scarf, and that was not good for me b/c I wanted to do a color-block situation, so this will work perfectly!
Wonderful, I think that will look great! I love that you adapted this pattern to a different yarn...there are always so many possibilities :)
Thank you so much, you are so patient, I made it, at least, so far, I am doing well. Only follow your video, I can make it. Really happy for myself and appreciate you a lot!👍👍
Oh that is so wonderful!! Well done :)
I know this tutorial was made in 2020 but it is so relaxing and easy to follow compared to a lot of others so I hope you are able to make more tutorials as I am left handed and have to watch a few times to catch on but your tutorial was very easy for me and a million thank yous again!!
I'm so glad you found your way here! I do have several crochet patterns that are simple but very pretty. Here is the link to my home page on YT and if you click on Playlists, it will help navigate my channel with more ease. Enjoy! czcams.com/channels/w6NTgMxl_HkOzLPOs1xNTA.html
Like many on here I am a beginner (although I’ve been making beanies for probably 4 years) and your pace and style of direction is perfect! I’m working with a mandala yarn that is really tiny and almost gave up using it until I found this tutorial. My confidence has increased as I’ve worked through the video, and I’m getting to finally make something with this amazing color changing yarn. Thank you!!!
Wonderful, and you are most welcome! This just touches my heart, thank you for your kind comment :)
This was so helpful! Thank you for putting this out there for all of us beginners! ❤
You are most welcome!
for the first time i managed to crochet neatly! I think it was because of this particular pattern. Thank you
Wonderful! I think simple patterns can help you perfect your crochet techniques...then you can move on to more involved patterns with success :)
I am so happy I found your crochet scarf tutorial you are a wonderful teacher thank you!
You are most welcome! 😃
Made 2 scarfs with tassels for Christmas gifts in 2022. Easy pattern and great for beginner like myself. Thank you for sharing.

Amazing tutorial! Currently making a scarf as a Christmas present and it's coming along very quickly even though I'm a beginner. Thank you :)
I am so happy! I love to create easy tutorials for beginners, so that you can make something beautiful right from the start! Well done!!!
Once again and again tq sooooo much for this wonderful video I have finally completed 🙏🏻
You are most welcome😊
You sound very nice. I like that. Many teachers r cruel. I’ve been crocheting for over 40 years. So I basically can understand much of what u teach. Be safe. Thank u for the tutorial. I have this Ferris wheel yarn. Luv the color.
Thank you for your kind words! I do hope that I come across with a gentle and encouraging nature. :)
Thank you. I am crocheting the winter blues away here in Manitoba 🇨🇦. Thank you 😊
You're welcome... I find this time of year a challenge as well. I wrote a blog post about Why Crochet is so Good for You and you might find it an interesting read: patriciafentie.com/2020/02/26/why-crochet-is-so-good-for-you/
I followed this tutorial to crochet my very first scarf and it was so easy and fun to follow!! I also ended up making 3 beanies with your matching beanie tutorial :) thanks so much!! (going to be making your crochet pincushion for my mom next)
You are so welcome! I'm so glad you are finding so many tutorials and patterns that you like! I must say...the pin cushion is still one of my favorites...enjoy!
From you I am completed half of the muffler 😊, thank you so much 🙏🏻, the stich is very very easy and simple to knit, and the way is very easy, actually this project has given by my school principal to complete and show. yesterday I started and today I ask half of the muffler. Tq sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

You are so welcome! Well done to have completed so much so soon! 😀
Hi! Thanks for the tutorial. Just marking my spot. Ended 9:46 Ended first half double crochet both posts
end of row havent chained 1
You are so welcome!
Just finished the scarf and the hat. So adorable! I used the Lion Brand yarn and also the color recommended. The colors in this yarn are so attractive. Very easy and fun! Hoping it stays cold enough to wear. Thank you, Patricia!
How wonderful...I'm so glad for you! Thank you for you kind comment :)
Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure!
I’m going to make this scarf using lion brand Landscapes yarn,thanks for the inspiration
Ooooohhh.... I think that yarn will look fabulous! I love Lion Brand yarns, they do a great job with the self-striping patterns and color combos! Have fun :)
OooOOoo i love the Landscapes colors! I did a rainbow Blanket with Granny squares from it it’s came out so good!!!!
Really did like your video, im a dad who crocheted a chain only with my grandma whwn I was a kid, and now my daughter wanted to learn. So this helped me out to learn more than a chain
Thank you so much, I'm glad you've found it helpful for yourself and then for your daughter too! I do have some beginner tutorials that you both may find helpful. I also try to create content that is beginner-friendly. Enjoy! patriciafentie.com/2019/06/17/beginner-crochet-series/
@@createandcrochetwithpatricia yes I will definitely check them out. And show my daughter. Your videos are nice to follow
@@mikethehammer2917 Thank you!
Love ❤️ it ty
Wonderful!
This is a good pattern, however your using the post may be confusing for beginners; I believe the term you mean is loop... Post means something different when learning the fpdc. Thank you for sharing this, beautiful yarn!
Thank you for your comment! I know I do mix things up sometimes, and I apologize for that. I have a brain injury that causes me to get words mixed up (especially if I am tired), so I just hope that the visual will make sense in spite of what I say. I have gotten better with time though!
@@createandcrochetwithpatricia what do you mean by “top post”. Do you mean “front loop of the chain”? Thank you.
Thank you for the free lesson. I gave a subscribe
You are most welcome... and thank you!
I have a nice dinner tonight and I have so much free time to do things and instead of scrolling I thought I’d make myself a scarf as it’s quite chilly out there these days, so I’m already about half way through and this has really helped me
What a great way to spend your evening! I have also made a conscious choice to spend less time on the computer, especially in the evenings. I remember the days before all this technology and we often played games, do crafts or read books in the evenings. I think that was a much simpler time!
@@createandcrochetwithpatriciayes my grandma and parents always tell me, now I am done with the scarf and am happy with my work and wore it out for dinner, everyone loved it and gave loads of compliments, now I have to buy more yarn so I can start a new project!
@@happylilac29 Oh, that is so wonderful...well done!
Oh lordy. First time Crocheting ever. Going to learn how from this pattern! I just need to figure out how to switch yarns half way through so I can create a bumble bee scarf! Wish me luck
You can do it! Here is a revised version of this pattern, I think I might teach better in this one. czcams.com/video/plgMpxvQMS0/video.html
To change colors, simply join your new color in the middle of the last stitch at the end of the row. Begin your half-double crochet, and before you finish the stitch, cut the yarn and add the new color for the rest of the stitch. It's similar to changing colors in this tutorial, but it's using a single crochet. I think it will help you get the idea though... czcams.com/video/DqdyABuR0u0/video.html (see the 8:00 minute mark on how to change colors). Have fun!
Thanks for sharing
My pleasure
I'm making placemats for my dining room table with this stitch. It's beautiful, I can whip up one placemat in 2 evenings (did one a day when I was on bedrest) I do them with 65 stitches per row, starting with 67 for my foundation chain. I just love this stitch. I do use the stitch marker so I know when to change to back/both loops. But I do have to write down if I'm on back loop or both loops if I set it down for more than a few minutes.
Thank you for this tutorial.
I also made my dad a scarf using this. After I cut the yarn for the tassels, my dad said he didn't want tassels. It's too bad, as I have a lot of scraps of yarn lol. I am making myself a scarf with tassels, but I'm making mine a different color. Maybe I'll make another scarf with the yarn I used for my dad but with tassels and gift it to someone.
Wonderful! I love to see people take something like this and do other projects with it. The placemats are a great idea! Did you use acrylic or cotton yarn for them? Thank you for sharing the stitch count too for others to follow your lead!
@createandcrochetwithpatricia I used both (not for the same placemats) I did a few with cotton and some with acrylic.
I made green ones for st Patrick's day, red/green/white for Christmas, orange and black yarn for Halloween, pink ombre for valentine's day, etc. And some I made that just fit the color scheme of my dining room.
This stitch holds up well when washed, which I'm so happy about
Practic and nice
I'm so glad!
Thnx!!💗
You're welcome!
Beautiful
Thank you!
Hope you are always happy and full of energy!
Thank you so much!
I want to learn how to crochet, so I'm thinking of trying out this pattern. I love the yarn you picked, but they sadly don't sell that brand in my country 😭
I'll try to look for something similar, because the colours are beautiful, and having it change colours like that makes the scarf instantly more exciting.
Also, you have a very calming voice, which is so pleasant to listen to. Looking forward to giving this project a try.
Wonderful! There are so many lovely self-striping or variegated yarns out these days, so I'm sure you will find something suitable. Thank you for your kind comment! 🙂
If you are able to order online you should look there. I prefer to shop local whenever possible, but sometimes It’s not possible. I’ve found some great variegated yarn from small shops I don’t have access to, and there is amazon as well (although I try not to use them as they take money out of the pockets of independent sellers). Just a thought. Happy crocheting!
@@lilburro3 Thank you for the advise! I had checked online, but I could only find it in the UK and USA. Importing that into the EU would be so incredibly expensive - multiple times the cost of the yarn itself. Amazon is not really a thing here, either, so it would still have to come from America probably (and also it's one of the most evil entities on this planet, so I wouldn't buy from there even if I could). I'm sticking to another type of yarn for now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@lilburro3 I do have that statement on my affiliate link comment, where I encourage people to shop local. I agree very much to support local sellers and only I provide the links for convenience as people do ask where to get the exact yarns.
I absolutely loved this and making one each for all my friends this winter. Thank you for wonderful tutorial. I want to know if this is unisex?!
This would be a perfect unisex scarf! For men, you may want to use the Morning Java color of the Lion Brand yarn. It is a lovely masculine color!
@@createandcrochetwithpatricia Cool.. Thank you 😊
Thank you
You're welcome!
Great pattern! Only thing you're calling the loop a post. Thanks!
Thank you for your comment! I know I do mix things up sometimes, and I apologize for that. I have a brain injury that causes me to get words mixed up (especially if I am tired), so I just hope that the visual will make sense in spite of what I say. The good news is that I am getting better with time :)
IM SORRY I CORRECTED YOU! MY APOLOGIES AGAIN
@@cherryb48 no problem...it's a good point :)
Starting this pattern on 08/27/2022
Remind me to say when I'm done with it
What a unique scissor
Thanks!
Hii awesome video! Can I still do this design with different coloured yarn if I dont have the yarn that changes colour? As in would it still work if I manually change the colour of the yarn myself?
Absolutely! I think it would look great if you made your own color changes :) Happy New Year!
PS...I have this project for a pocket shawl that uses scrap yarn. There are some tips on how to plan color changes and how to add new yarn. Plus, this is a great project! czcams.com/video/2O2jcwW-F5c/video.html
Remember if you do a scarf, blanket and edges are to your liking you can put a single stich edge on it and wallah good as gold. Peace
Thank you for that tip! 😀
Easy to loose a Stich... I accidentally added like 4.... But it worked out in the end!
Well done! Crochet is quite forgiving 👍👌🙌
Even tho I didn’t start the video yet or something but in stores where can I get a needle that a child can use and what kind of crochet hook?
The crochet hook is a 4mm or G-6 US, and I'm not sure what you mean about a needle for a child, but there are plastic darning needles available.
can the blocking be done by just washing it and flattening/stretching it with your hands and leaving it to dry flat? i tried searching for tutorials but they all used needles and foam mats to pin the work or steamed it, but i don’t have the supplies
Yes, absolutely. Just go back to it every now and then and hand flatten it while drying. 👍🙌
Will you please share a link to this pattern as well as number of yard used?
The link is in the description box below the video which reads, "blog post with written directions", and all the information is there!

Hi. Would this work in the round for a baby skirt? Thank you.
You can use any crochet stitch in the round...join with a slst, ch 1 to get up to the next row.

Are you good at figuring out other patterns? I’d like to learn how to crochet pretty flowers with diff colors within the flower, like the middle green then maybe a couple rows yellow and then petals pink or blue etc...
Yes, I am (if I have an image to follow). If you can share a picture with me either through Pinterest, FB messenger or email, I'll see if I can figure it out. Here is one I did for someone in a FB group... patriciafentie.com/2020/09/16/popcorn-flower-granny-square/
@@createandcrochetwithpatricia I’m working on the scarf right now! Thx for such good instructions!!
You are so welcome! :)
I chained 21 but then with the two extra chains - are we now doing 23 for every row?? Thanks. I’m having trouble counting (clearly)
The extra two chains are your turning chain and count as your first half-double crochet (hdc). You then do a hdc into the 3rd chain from the loop on your hook (see 3:28 in the video) and continue to do a hdc in each stitch to the end of the chain. You should have 21 stitches including the turning ch2. Hope that helps!
i already finish row 5 and 6....after that shoul i lock it already? i already repeat the second row twice and third row twice....i'm stuck huhu what will I do next? shoul i lock it after? and do another pieces of this?
I think I answered this in your previous question. The way crochet pattern work is that you have a pattern repeat. This can be just one row, or several rows. The pattern repeat creates a pattern and texture for the fabric. That pattern is then repeated several times, and not with locking it off after each repeat, which is called fastening off in crochet terminology). I hope this helps.
hii on 9:44.....is the pattern there like already done? i just need to finish that row and lock it at the end? and after that i'll just do the same pattern for the second batch....is that it?
no, you repeat the pattern until the scarf is very long...many, many rows. You only lock it off once the whole piece is done (60" long or more)
@@createandcrochetwithpatricia ohhh soo i need to repeat the pattern starting in the pattern you showed in row 1-6? or 2-6? with the twice repeat in row 2 and twice repeat in row 3?

How do I straighten my edges
Any hack?
If you are already well along, then blocking the scarf can help. Just search "how to block crochet" on YT and you'll find lots of tutorials. To prevent the edges from going wonky, make sure you are counting your stitches. It is easy to miss a stitch at the beginning or end of a row. Crochet tension can also be an issue, so you can check out this tutorial: czcams.com/video/PxAVTN_T3mk/video.html 🙂👍
Is there a reason why you only chain 1 when moving to a new row? I've always been taught to chain 2 when starting a new hdc row.
Good question! A ch 2 leaves a bigger space on the outside edge of the scarf whereas a ch 1 leaves a nice tight edge. It's just a preference 😀
In the first row after the chain row, does the chain 2 counts as a stitch in the 21?
Yes, it does! Sorry I didn't say that in the beginning :)
so is each row 21 stitches or do we count 23? Thanks!
does anyone know how many meters of yarn are necessary to make this?
All that information is in the description box below this video. But here is the link for your convenience. patriciafentie.com/2020/01/22/crochet-scarf-for-beginners/
Hello. I have a question. How many meters is there in the Ferris Wheel yarn you used please?
All the additional information is in the written pattern. I always have a blog post and/or written pattern for every tutorial in the description box below the video. I don't always mention it though 🥴 so here it is for your convenience: patriciafentie.com/2020/01/22/crochet-scarf-for-beginners/
@@createandcrochetwithpatricia Thank you a lot!
Let me see if I have this correct. Row two is half double crochet in both loops, row three is a half double crochet in the first and last stitch while the ones in between are half double crochet in the back loop only, then row three is like row two, row four and five are like row three?
Row two starts and ends with hdc in both loops, but with 1 hdc in the top loop of each stitch in between. Row three is 1 hdc in both loops of all the stitches (you have written it the other way around). You then repeat rows two and three until the scarf is the length you like. So row four is a repeat of row two, row five is a repeat of three, row six is a repeat of row two, row seven is a repeat of row three...and so on. The written pattern is in the description box below the video, so that may help you as well (click on see more, or more...).
Ohhh thank you so much for clarifying, the written pattern kind of confused me. I just wanted to make sure I was interpreting the video tutorial correctly 😊
Hi i want to know if i can do this pattern with velvet yarn...
Sure! If it is a chunkier yarn, then you may want to make your foundation chain with fewer chains, otherwise it will be wider than with this yarn. :)
@@createandcrochetwithpatricia thanks! I guess if with velvet yarn, tassles won't look too good on it with either, will they? I want to do a scarf and a headband for my daughter...
@@cristinamanian5282 You could always do a little sample and see. I haven't used velvet yarn myself, but I don't see why it would work. You could put one or two tassels in every stitch as I did in the updated version of this tutorial. Check it out here: czcams.com/video/plgMpxvQMS0/video.html

How many grams did u consume in making this,?

What do you mean by “top post”?
Do you mean “ the front loop of the chain stitch “? Thank you.
I am so sorry for this. I was actually suffering from a head injury when I first started doing these tutorials and was a bit muddled. I'm actually surprised I haven't received this question more often! What I mean is top loop (or back loop) for top post. Here are the written directions for clarification. patriciafentie.com/2020/01/22/crochet-scarf-for-beginners/
@@createandcrochetwithpatricia : thank you for that prompt response. I understand that I crochet into just the back loop of the chain stitch.
I have a spare ball of Ferris Wheel in my stash and I’ll crochet a scarf from your pattern for donation to our homeless charity.
I hope you’re fully recovered from your injury. 🌻
@@gfitz6001 yes, the back loop is the stitch to go into, there can be some confusion because each stitch actually has 3 parts and there is a 'back bump, that is at the back of the stitch. But the two obvious stitches that are facing you are the back loop and front loop. Thank you for your kind wishes, I do still struggle with some health issues which is why I only publish one tutorial every 3 or 4 weeks. But I do find the crochet very relaxing and enjoyable!
hii can i use a thicker yarn and a bigger hook??
or just a bigger hook?
For sure! Use the size hook recommended for the yarn of your choice (it will say on the wrapping). You can also use a larger hook for the number 4 yarn...a 4.5mm or 5mm would be fine. It just makes the stitches bigger and looser, but that may be what you want! Crochet is very forgiving and you can change things up all the time. Try what you want and if you don't like it, just unravel and try again!
Yup!
@createandcrochetwithpatricia also I'm sorry for asking a lot of questions... when I'm done with the first 6 rows, should I just make row 2 and row 3 twice? or repeate the 6 rows but making row 2 and row 3 twice? thank you so much for your answers 💗
@@yasmina9526 The written pattern may help you with this, but basically... you repeat row two, twice and then repeat row three, twice. Use a stitch marker to keep track of your rows. patriciafentie.com/2020/01/22/crochet-scarf-for-beginners/
I’m struggling to do Mine 🙁
Just be patient with yourself and keep practicing. Crochet can be awkward at first, but with practice you will get the hang of it. It is ok to unravel and try again several times! Did you check out my Beginner Crochet Series? There is a link in the description box below the video :)
Whenever I crochet it curves and yours doesn't. What am I doing wrong?
It is possibly your tension, and if you are new to crochet, it can take a bit of practice to get comfortable with that. Check out this video for some helpful tips: czcams.com/video/K4wRQ06OjOg/video.html
Hi how many grams of yarn does this scarf need?
All that information is in the written blog post. The link is in the description box below, but here it is again for your convenience. patriciafentie.com/2020/01/22/crochet-scarf-for-beginners/
@@createandcrochetwithpatricia so I need a ball of yarn that weights 85grams
@@randnstars8225 ...not necessarily, I always use the length and gauge of yarn. So I would recommend approximately 260 meters of yarn in a number 4, medium weight (or worsted) yarn. The Lion Brand Ferris Wheel yarn happens to be 85 gms per ball. However, a different brand of yarn might weigh more, but not have the same length of yarn. For example, Bernat Handicrafter yarn weighs 50 gm per ball, but is only 73 meters in length. If you pro-rate that, 85 grams would only be 124 meters and that is not enough for this project.
@@createandcrochetwithpatricia OK thank you ♥
How many grams of yarn did you use? X
The scarf used one full ball of the Ferris Wheel Yarn which is 85gms (3oz) and has 247 meters (270 yards) of yarn. The finished length is 152 cm (60 inches) without tassels. If you want tassels, you'd need approximately another 13 meters (14 yards). I made a matching hat, which only used about 3/4 of a ball of the same yarn, so there was enough yarn from that ball to make the tassels. :)
@@createandcrochetwithpatricia brilliant thank you so much!! :)
7:53
:)
Also you might use a lighter yarn and stop to show what the work is supposed to look like
Good idea :)
This pattern was not so easy..... Definitely REQUIRED to count stitches. Which I hate lol 😆
Use a larger hook for this pattern. Or you will pull your hair out and throw this across the room before row 5.....
If you don't like counting stitches, then you would probably love free-form crochet! Have you ever tried this style of crochet? Here is a playlist on how to do free-form: czcams.com/play/PLVxSmwID02OBSOOK2rrFs8VQybZisCqJA.html
Also, it sounds like your crochet tension is on the tight side, so going up a size in crochet hook is the perfect solution for that!
@@createandcrochetwithpatricia i will definitely look into it. I have used patterns that are counting. But for some reason I cannot do these single stitch type scarfs. The lace ones seem to be the easiest!!
I watched your other beginner videos before this one and I’ve watched how you did your second row and I just can’t follow, I’m just a slow learner and you go too fast. 😢
If you go to settings under the video (the little gear icon) and choose "playback speed". This allows you to slow the video down for easier viewing. Try 0.75 or 0.5 and that will really help! Don't give up...it just takes a bit of time to get the swing of it. Crochet is quite complex to learn because you have to coordinate both hands, but once you have the hang of it you will do great! 👌👍
How is this for beginners 😢
I do recommend that you start with my Beginner Crochet Series. It shows all the basics of crochet including proper crochet tension, how to hold the hook, and how to do all the basic stitches. The link is in the description box below, but here it is for your convenience. patriciafentie.com/2019/06/17/beginner-crochet-series/
Once you know the basics, then this pattern is a great one to start with. I have another tutorial that is even easier, especially if you stay with one color of yarn: czcams.com/video/DqdyABuR0u0/video.html
Don't give up!!! It's a lot of fun and you just need to practice. And it's totally ok to make mistakes and to take awhile to learn!
I did it! 🎉 thank you so much. I went through the tutorial series. And Now I’m well underway with this one. I don’t think I have my original odd number of stitches, might be skipping some on accident, but it is still coming out great. Since it’s a gift I don’t think I’ll hear many complaints hahaha.
@@SharkbaitDC Wonderful!!! 👍👌👏 I'm so glad you persisted! It is always a challenge to learn a new skill, especially something like crochet where you are having to coordinate both hands. Well done...and no one will know if you missed a stitch! The more you practice, the easier it will get. 😃
I don't even find this helpful !! You don't explain what a stitch is and you do 20 , 20 what ??? And then coming back is terrible ,
I always recommend that you start with my beginner crochet series that explains everything from how to do a slip knot, how to have proper crochet tension and how to do all the basic stitches. You can find that here: patriciafentie.com/2019/06/17/beginner-crochet-series/
Don't give up! Crochet is a wonderful pass time and is very calming for the mind.
Beautiful
Thank you!
