Very Simple Double Crochet Scarf Pattern
1 - 2 skeins of yarn (depending on yarn type)
Hook of choice (try some larger ones for different “lace” sizes)
Foundation Chain:
Ch desired width in increments of 4 (16, 32 etc... standard scarf is usually 4"-6" wide.)
Note: If you use a ch 3 turning ch, add a stitch at the end to compensate. (16 plus 1, 32 plus 1, etc...)
Row 1: Dc into the 3rd back loop from hook. (The 3 sk stitches will count as first dc and ch) *Ch 1. Sk next loop. Dc into next loop. Rep from * across. Ch 3 (4), turn.
Row 2 on: Sk first dc and first ch. Dc into next dc. Repeat across.
Finishing:
Repeat row 2 to the desired length. (There is no real “standard scarf length”. It is all preference. Make it as long or as short as you would like. Just make sure there is enough length to go around your neck once, leaving a tail on both ends.) Finish off and weave in ends.
Options:
You can add a single crochet border. Make a slip knot on your hook. Start in any corner and sc evenly around, making sure to do 3 sc in each corner. Add 2 more sc in the same stitch as your first. Sl st into your first sc. Finish and weave in ends.
Add Fringe. Add fringe of desired length to each end. (You don’t even need a hook for this!!) Cut your yarn to twice the desired length. (For 3" fringe, cut 6" pieces) Fold your yarn in half. This puts all cut ends in the same place. Holding the cut ends, lay the loop end underneath the end of your scarf. Going through scarf, and the fringe loop, grabbing both loose ends, pull the loose ends through the loop. (Almost a slip knot) Pull to tighten fringe.
Make Stripes. Alternate colors evenly. For a different effect, alternate colors unevenly. For another cool effect you can try the Fibonacci method.
Fibonacci System: That’s where you use a sequence of numbers to determine the number of rows for each color. Each number leads to the next. (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 etc.. Which means 0+1=1, 1+1= 2, 1+2=3, 2+3=5, 3+5= 8, 5+8=13, 8+13=21 and so on.) So your first color would be 1 row. Your next color would be 2 rows. Your next 3, then 5, 8, 13, 21, etc... For a scarf you may not get much further than that in the sequence. (Your next row would be 34: 13+21=34) You could use the method up one side, and down the other!! (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 8, 5, 3, 2, 1)
Use this pattern to make a baby blanket, or regular size blanket. Simply make it wider and longer. (Any of the above free crochet patterns can be used to make a blanket.)

Simple Chain Stitch Lace Shawl
1 skein favorite yarn
Hook size of choice
Tapestry needle
Foundation Row:
(You will need to decide what size you would like your “lace” to be. For lace openings that are about an inch, you will want to do chain 5 sections. For larger, you can do chain 7 or 9 sections. For smaller you can go with chain 3 sections. Just make sure you always choose an odd number.)Chain width you would like in multiples of your desired lace size. (3, 5, 7, 9, etc...) For a nice sized shawl, you will want the foundation chain to lay loosely from wrist, around neck, to other wrist.
For the rest of this pattern, I will use a chain 5 example. Alter the pattern according to your lace size choice.
Row 1:
Sl st in last ch. Ch 5. Sk next 3 chs, sc in next chain. *Skip 4 chs, sc in next chain.* Rep from * to * across. Sc in last ch.
Row 2 on:
Sl st in next 3 stitches of last ch. *Ch 5. Sc in 3rd stitch (center stitch) of ch 5 loop.* Rep from * to * across. You will have one less ch 5 loop in each row. Continue repeating row 2 until you attach your last ch 5 loop with sc. Finish off, weave in ends.
Note: If you do not want your ch 5 loops “locked”, you can sc around the entire ch 5 loop, rather than in the middle stitch.
Options:
You can sew on beads or sequins, attach buttons, fringe etc.... Try different fun yarns. Some of the furry and fuzzy yarns work great with this pattern.

Super Simple Shrug
1 - 2 skeins of yarn (depending on yarn type)
Hook of choice
Foundation Chain: Measure from wrist, around neck, down to other wrist. Ch desired lenth in increments of 4.
Row 1:
Dc into the 3rd back loop from hook. (The 3 sk stitches will count as first dc and ch) *Ch 1. Sk next loop. Dc into next loop. Rep from * across. Ch 3 (4), turn.
Row 2 on:
Sk first dc and first ch. *Dc into next dc, ch 1. *Repeat across.
Finishing:
Repeat row 2 to the desired width. Drape the rectangle over your shoulders. Hold end around wrist until it is as tight or as loose as you want it. Finish and weave in ends. Pick which side you want to face out. Turn fabric inside out. With your tapestry needle, starting from the end and going toward the middle, sew together the two sides for about 1/3 of the way. Repeat sewing on the other side. Try it on often so you don’t make it too tight. Finish, weave in ends. Turn right sides out. You’re done!
These three free crochet patterns use the double crochet and the chain stitch. They can produce very different looks depending on the type of yarns you use. (You could use either of these super simple free crochet patterns to make a super quick throw. The airy pattern can still ward off the chills!)

Filet Crochet Love Graph
Follow the graph using single crochet, double crochet or filet crochet.
If you use single crochet, it’s very easy to follow the pattern. Each square is one single crochet stitch by one single crochet row. Just remember to pick a right side and always keep the tails of your yarn to the back (wrong) side. Since you will be reading the graph pattern from right to left, then left to right (or visa versa) on each row, your right and wrong sides will alternate which is facing you. For example, if all of the even rows are going to be your right side, then all of the odd rows would be your wrong side. That means if you need to do a color change when the wrong side is facing you, you will bring your tails to the front.
If you use the double crochet, you get to choose if you want to follow one square equals one stitch and one row. Which will have the same effect as with filet crochet. Your finished piece will end up taller than the original pattern. Or you can crochet up a swatch and see how many stitches and rows equal a “square” in your crochet work. In mine, it is 3 stitches by 2 rows. That means for every box in my graph, I will crochet 3 double crochet stitches and 2 rows. So, I go all the way across a line of boxes in my pattern, then I repeat that row before referring to back to the pattern. Remember to keep any tails tucked to the back on your wrong side. Make sure you measure the width of your completed crochet square, and figure out the project end size.
If you use the filet crochet (double crochet and chain stitch combination), you still read each square as one stitch, but it is a little trickier. Since you are creating “boxes” with filet crochet, you just need to determine whether the box is “open” or “filled”. If it is filled, instead of doing the chain stitch, you will do a double crochet to “fill in” the box. If the box is “open”, you simple chain stitch for that opening. Your finished piece will end up a little taller than the original graph pattern.
Please enjoy these free crochet patterns. They are my gift to you. Thank you so much for visiting my site. I hope you are enjoying your stay.
