Emily's Notes

Blanket scarves are one of those projects where simple stitches really shine because the size of the piece does most of the visual work.

I like choosing yarns with good drape so the scarf doesn't feel too stiff when wrapped.

Keeping tension consistent is especially important here because small differences become more noticeable over a large surface.

Finished Size

This crochet scarf is about 8 inches (21 cm) wide and 75 inches (190 cm) long.

• Use soft, warm yarn like wool, acrylic, or blends depending on your climate

• For extra coziness, consider super bulky yarn and a larger hook for a chunky finish
• Keep stitch tension consistent to ensure an even scarf width
