The Sweet Cream Crochet Scarf is so super easy and absolutely beautiful. It's made with just some easy stitches. Just double crochets and chains are all you need to do. And if you're not familiar with that, that's totally fine. We're going to go through this every step and Now, this is a one skein project. Very easy stitches. And let me just show you, it has a lovely drape to it. It's done in like a cream color yarn. And excuse me if my microphone is covered a little and it sounds muffled for just a minute. But this is a soft and pretty project and you can stitch this up in no time. And again, I just use one skein of yarn. I love those one skein projects.

So let's jump in and learn how to crochet the Sweet Cream Crochet Scarf. Okay, let's look at this beautiful scarf up close. Again, this is just some really easy stitches, but it makes some lovely lace. Our finished scarf is about eight and a half inches wide and about 74 inches long. This is a one scheme project. We're going to talk about the yarn next. For this project, you'll need a pair of scissors, a tapestry needle to weave in the ends, a tape measure will be super helpful, especially when if you want to like change up the sizing or anything. We're going to be using a six millimeter J crochet hook for this. This is my FURL Streamline in the matte gold. Just as a side note, if you'd like to get one for yourself, you can find the link below. And then for our yarn, I'm going to be using some really simple worsted weight acrylic yarn. This is the Red Heart Super Saver. One skein of this in the Erin colorway. I just wanted a really simple cream color yarn that would show off our pretty stitches. I'm going to be using 364 yards of a number four medium yarn on the yarn weight scale. Now if you notice, this yarn actually recommends a 5.5 millimeter I crochet hook, but I'm going to go up a little bit in the hook size just to give it some lovely drape. Okay, so 364 yards of a worsted weight number four weight yarn and you'll be just fine if you need to substitute. Okay, we're going to begin with our starting chain. Our pattern is a multiple of six plus four to begin. So if you're not familiar with multiples, it just means when you're doing your starting chain, you're going to go in groups of six. So six plus six plus six plus six and so forth until it's about as wide as you want. Then you're going to add four more chains onto that. Okay, we're going to do a starting chain of 40. So if you need to scale your scarf and make it narrower or wider and so forth, just work within the guidelines of a six plus four multiple. Okay, and you'll be just fine. So let's begin. Like I said, we're going to do a chain 40 for this one. So to begin, we're going to put a slip knot on the hook, wrap the yarn around your fingers to make a loop, bring the yarn behind the loop, reach in with your hook, bring up a loop, and tighten. So we're going to do 40 chains. To make a chain, wrap the yarn around the hook and bring it through the loop. So that's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, and 40. Okay, so here is our starting chain and this will give you somewhat of an idea of how wide your scarf is going to be. Okay, so just stick with that. If you need to adjust the multiples and change the width, feel free to do that. So what we're going to do is start with row one. We're going to learn how to do row one together and row two together. Row two is the repeat for the rest of the scarf. So super easy, not a lot to remember. Okay, so for row one, what we're going to do is work our first fan in the sixth chain from the hook. So this loop here does not count. We're going to go 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Okay, so our fans are going to be two double crochet, chain three, two double crochet. Okay, so to make a double crochet, wrap the yarn around the hook, insert it into that chain, and bring up a loop. You'll have three loops on the hook. Wrap yarn around hook, bring it through the first two loops. Wrap yarn around hook, bring it through the last two loops. Okay, so that was one double crochet. We're going to work another double crochet into the same chain. Then we're going to chain three. 1, 2, 3, and then in the same chain work two more double crochet. Okay, so one double crochet and two double crochet. Just like that. All right, so here's our first fan. Very pretty. Then what we're going to do is skip five chains. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and then in the chain after that we're going to work our next fan. So once again, work two double crochet, 1 and 2, then chain three. 1, 2, 3, and then in the same chain two double crochet. So 1 and 2. Just like that. So now we have two fans here. Okay, so we're just going to be repeating that all the way across. Okay, so let's pick up a little bit more speed. Skip five chains. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and in the chain after that work your next fan. So two double crochet, 1 and 2, chain three. 1, 2, 3, and two double crochet. 1 and 2. Just like that. Okay, repeat. So skip five chains. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and in the chain after that work your next fan. Okay, so two double crochet, 1 and 2, then we'll chain three. 1, 2, 3, and then two double crochet in the same chain. So one double crochet, and two double crochet. Okay, moving right along, skip five chains. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and in the chain after that work your next fan. So two double crochet, 1 and 2, then you're going to chain three. 1, 2, 3, and two double crochet in the same chain. So 1 and 2. Just like that. Okay, it's looking very pretty. We're getting a nice little row of fans right now. Okay, skip five chains. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and in the chain after that work your next fan. Two double crochet, 1 and 2, then chain three. 1, 2, 3, and two double crochet on the same chain. 1 and 2. Okay, now at the end of the row you'll have just four chains left. So what we're going to do is skip three chains and in that very last chain work just one double crochet. Just like that. Okay, so row one is complete. Now let's look at it a little bit because we have a row of beautiful fans and if you did the same number of chains as I did you'll have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 fans across. Okay, so now let's move on to row two. Now like I mentioned earlier in the video, row two is the row you'll repeat for the whole rest of the project. Okay, so what we're going to do for row two is chain three. 1, 2, 3, and we're going to turn our work and now row two is easier than row one. Instead of counting chains and skipping things we're just going to be working into the center of each one of these fans. Now in the written pattern over at the blog this is called the chain three space. So when we made our fans we did a chain three that created a space. So in the chain three space we're going to work our fans and they're going to kind of stack on top of one another. Okay, so go into that first fan here in that chain three space here in the middle and work your first fan. So once again work two double crochet, one and two, then chain three. One, two, three, and then two double crochet all in that same chain three space, the center of that fan. Okay, and now as you can see they are stacked. They look very pretty. Okay, hop over to the next fan and we're going to do the same thing. Two double crochet, one and two, then chain three. One, two, three, and two double crochet all in that same chain three space just like that. Okay, so you can see they're starting to stack on top of one another. Alright, hop over to the next fan and we're just going to do the same thing all the way across. So two double crochet, one and two, then chain three. One, two, three, and two double crochet in that chain three space. Hop over to the next fan and do the same thing. Two double crochet, one and two, then we're going to chain three. One, two, three, and two double crochet all in that same chain three space. So one and two, just like that. Alright, hop over to the next fan and do the same thing. Two double crochet, chain three. One, two, three, and two more double crochet on that same chain three space just like that. And go over to this last fan now and in that chain three space once again, two double crochet, chain three, two double crochet. Okay, now in this last space here, this turning chain space, we're going to finish up row two. So when we have our turning chain, it creates a space. So here's our two double crochet, the center of the fan, two double crochet, and then we have our turning chain coming out of the side here. That space is our turning chain space. What you're going to do to finish up row two is just work a double crochet right into the turning chain space. Okay, and you can see how pretty this looks. It's just very elegant. So to continue with your scarf, you're just going to be repeating row two over and over and over again until your scarf is as long as you would like it to be. You can keep going to a certain length using your tape measure or you can just keep going until you run out of yarn. Whatever comes first, totally up to you. Now you can make this really long and wrap it a couple times around your neck or you can just make it so that it just kind of folds over. It's totally up to you. So keep going with row two and we'll rejoin in just a minute. Okay, just coming up to the end of the row, working that very last double crochet right at the end here, and I have just the tiniest amount of yarn left. So this used exactly one full skein of yarn. So what we're going to do now is just fasten off. Wrap the yarn around the hook, pull it through the loop, and then just tighten down. Okay, so our scarf is complete. It looks absolutely beautiful and we just have some ends to weave in now. Now if you use one skein of yarn like I did, you'll just have two ends here. If you used more or made this a scrap yarn project, obviously you'll have some more. But all you're going to do is thread your yarn needle or tapestry needle and then just go in. And now this is kind of an open, lacier stitch, so just be careful. Try to go in between the plies because this is totally reversible so you will see it. But this is the same color. If you did a self striping or did your own stripes for your scarf, just try to stay in the same color family here so it blends. But we're just going this cream into cream so it will kind of just blend on its own. But I'm staying in between on both sides, okay, in between those plies. All right, so I went in one direction, went back in the other direction just to sort of lock that tail into place. I sort of straighten it out before I snip and then just give the yarn a little bit of a trim and that's it, okay. And then we're just going to repeat with this other tail and then our scarf is done. It looks lacy and beautiful but it was very simple to make. So that is how you crochet the Sweet Cream Crochet Scarf.
