Super Easy Beginner Pattern
Or a quick make for anyone!
The Haynet Scarf is a perfect beginner crochet project. It uses basic stitches and it works up VERY fast! It's also super cute and cozy, and not too heavy despite being made from super bulky yarn.
If you are new to crochet, the stitch tutorial is available with the Haynet Shrug, which would also be a great next project!
If you prefer a pdf version of this pattern it is available in my Etsy shop. Purchasing my patterns allows me to continue to design more! A lot of time and work goes into pattern designing, so if you like my free patterns, please support my continued work. I greatly appreciate it!
You can also add it to your Ravelry queue!
Materials

2 skeins of Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick and Quick (I used the color Fisherman for the scarf in the pictures, but they have SO many colors available)

Gauge
Before blocking
12 rows in pattern = 6” (15 cm)
8 single crochet = 4” (10 cm)
After blocking
12 rows in pattern = 6.5” (16.5 cm)
7 single crochet = 4” (10 cm)
Finished Size
The pattern that follows makes a scarf (pictured) that is approximately 9” (23 cm) wide and 80” (203 cm) long after blocking.
This scarf can easily be made as long or short as you like. To make it wider, just add to the beginning chain in multiples of two. To make it longer, keep adding rows until the scarf reaches desired length.
Instructions are written using standard US abbreviations.

Instructions
Pattern is written for the size shown.
With size N/15 (10.0mm) crochet hook loosely chain 18, leaving a tail of 6” (15 cm) or longer to include with fringe.
Row 1: Working in back bump of chain, sc in 2nd ch from hook; *ch 1, sk 1 st, sc in next ch. Rep from * to end of row. Turn. (45 st = 23 sc + 22 ch 1 sp)
Row 2: Ch 3 (counts as 1 tr), tr in ch 1 sp, *ch 1, sk 1 sc, tr in next ch 1 sp. Rep from * to last st; tr in last sc. Turn. (24 tr + 21 ch 1 sp)
Row 3: Ch 1, sc in top of last tr; *ch 1, sk 1 tr, sc in next ch 1 sp. Rep from * to last tr; ch 1, sc in top of turn ch. Turn.
Repeat Rows 2-3 32 times (a total of 67 rows including the first 3 rows), or until scarf has reached desired length, ending with a Row 3 (sc row). If making the scarf longer than pattern calls for, be sure to leave at least 12 yards of yarn for fringe (or more if longer fringe is desired).
Fasten off, leaving a 6”(15 cm) or longer tail to include with fringe.
Note: There is no predetermined right or wrong side to this scarf. When adding fringe, choose which side you prefer to be the ‘right’ side so the fringe will match on each end.
Adding Fringe
Step 1: Cut 34 12” (30 cm) lengths of yarn. You will need one piece for each stitch along both edges.
Step 2: Fold one length of yarn in half. Insert the folded end through both loops of a stitch on the short edge of the scarf from front to back.
Step 3: Pull tails of yarn through the loop and pull tight. Include the start and finish ends into the edge fringe by pulling it through the loop with the tails.
Step 4: Trim to uniform length if desired.
Blocking
To get the best look for your scarf, it is highly recommended that you block it.
Step 1: Soak scarf in cold water, with or without a wool wash soap. Wool Ease contains wool, so it is beneficial to use a wool wash.
Step 2: Squeeze out excess water, then roll in a towel to press out as much moisture as you can.
Step 3: Lay flat on blocking boards and pin in position to dry. Do not stretch, but do pull it to the correct shape and size. Leave to dry for a few days.
Step 4: Remove from blocking mats and enjoy!
Note: If you do not have blocking mats, spread the damp scarf out on dry towels and use your hands to flatten it. Pinning is better, but even towel blocking will help flatten the scarf into the desired shape.
