I love this yarn (have I mentioned that already?). I seriously love this muted colour palette and am already planning my next project with a different shade! This yarn is machine washable and comes in six different colours that all have a subtle marble-effect shade. I used the affordable, acrylic yarn King Cole Big Value Poplar Chunky in colour Meadow Mist. Maybe you don’t want the scarf to be as wide or as long? Notes are included to adjust the pattern to the size that’s right for you. This is the perfect project to complete while binge-watching your favourite TV program because of the easy, repetitive stitch pattern! And although this is a long scarf, the skipped single crochet stitches and chunky yarn mean that it grows quickly. So if you can make chains and single crochet stitches you are all set! Mindless Crochet This long scarf pattern is very beginner friendly. I loved the airy, squishy stitches that the 8mm hook made. So I swatched with this size, a 7mm and an 8mm hook. The recommended hook size for this yarn is 6mm. The chain spaces help to keep the material light and soft. If possible I would also go up a crochet hook size (or two).Īfter trying a few different options, I chose a simple, single crochet stitch pattern that involves chains and skipping stitches. To get the drape I wanted I decided to pick a stitch pattern that would give some movement to the fabric. I chose King Cole Big Value Poplar Chunky yarn. Crocheted fabric can often be stiff so if I wanted to use a bulky yarn I would need to be careful about the rest of the design.

And I definitely wanted the scarf to have lots of lovely drape. I wanted a scarf that was big and soft but not too bulky or heavy when worn. As makers I know we always think: I can make that! What better way to keep warm on chilly days than to wrap up in the long scarf you have crocheted yourself? There have been a lot of oversize scarves in the shops recently.
