Simple Crochet Scarf for Beginners

This scarf is quick and easy to make, with treble crochet (UK/Australian) or double crochet (US) stitches in every row.

If you are new to crochet this is a great way to practice your treble crochet stitches and make a wearable garment at the same time.

You can make your scarf any width and length you desire – just add more chains to the first row (you may need more yarn).
