How to Make the Crochet Chunky Scarf
Materials:
- 3 skeins Lion Brand Hometown or any #6 super bulky yarn (10 oz. skeins)
- N-13 (9 mm) crochet hook
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle
- 2 faux fur pom poms
Skill level:
Advanced beginner.
Pattern notes:
- This pattern is written using standard US crochet terms.
- This is worked flat.
- The chain 1 at the beginning of each row does not count as a stitch.
- Loose tension is a MUST. You will working sl sts and if your tension is too tight, they will be miserable to work into. Feel free to go up a hook size or two if you need to.
- The first and last sl st of each row will be worked under BOTH loops. Otherwise, all other sl sts will be work in the back loop only.
- Stitch counts are purely what I did. You can make your scarf any length you’d like and your stitch count will be just fine. As long as you have 5 sl sts at the each end, it does not matter how many bobbles/single crochets are in between 🙂
Stitches used and abbreviations:
- sp = space
- yo = yarn over
- ch = chain
- st/sts = stitch/stitches
- sl st = slip stitch
- sl st blo = slip stich back loop only
- sc = single crochet
- sc blo = single crochet back loop only bbl = bobble stitch
Special stitches
Bobble Stitch: yo, insert hook into st, yo, draw up a loop, yo, draw through 2 loops. Do this a total of 5 times. There should be 6 loops on your hook. Yo and draw through all 6 loops on the hook. *Essentially you are just making a partial double crochet. So start a double crochet as you normally would BUT before you draw through the last 2 loops on your hook, you will repeat making a partial double crochet 4 more times.

Prepare the ends for your poms:
Using a tapestry needle threaded with yarn, start by weaving in and out across the bottom. Once you’ve reached the other end, pull on the yarn to cinch the bottom, run your needle through the other side and secure it with a knot.

Pull the yarn through to cinch the bottom
Run your needle through the other side (where you started).
Secure it with a knot.
To attach your poms:
My poms came with a little elastic loop on top so I just ran some yarn through and secured it to the ends of my scarf!
Weave in all ends.
