first video I'm going to do is going to be how to make a scarf with a smaller
crochet hook this one is 4.25 as you can see you can use different crochet hooks
when you have different size looks like this you will have different sized loops
these are the two brands i prefer to use while making scarves
you've got the simply soft or you have this one that is made by red hearts with
love red heart does make another type of yarn but it's not as soft as this
so these are the two that i would recommend first thing you want to do is
create a loop with your yarn so about 2-3 inches out
you want to wrap it around your thumb make a loop and then you're going to
pull the string through it's just like basic not have a little tail on the
reason why I leave a tail on it is because if you want to add fringe to the
end of the scarf
this is going to be the bottom line of your scarf and then later I can show you
how to add fringe
so the first thing you'll do is take this
you don't want to have that large of a loop so i make it pull it tighter
the first part is the trick of wrapping around your hand so you want to wrap it
around your finger
once like this then this part is going to come up and go behind your pointer
finger and around and then you're going to hold with your thumb and your middle
finger
you're going to hold the string this finger is going to be keeping this
string tight
this is your attention if this tension is not tight your scarf might be really
really loose some people's attention is looser and other people like a tighter
tension
i personally prefer a tighter tension just I like the look of it when you're
first starting out its most likely going to be very loose first thing you want to
do is put the hook through the whole you're going to take this and you're
going to grab the string and twist and then you're going to pull it straight
through
now you're going to leave yourself a little bit of slack see there's a little
bit of pull their now when I'm talking about tension if you have this super
tight like that where you can barely get through you're gonna have a difficult
time when you pull this through
you can have a hard time getting it to go through so you want to leave it a
little bit loose and see now for me demonstrating this has gotten a little
bit looser than I like so I just grabbed it
so this is tight and you're going to grab this yarn and pull it through
just grab it twist and pull through and grab it
turn it and pull it through and as you go up you want to really grab the yarn
so you're going to grab it around the back
turn it so that it's hooked pull it through grab turn pull through
ok so now we're getting a little bit longer so I'm going to just continue to
do this as you go through you'll get faster and like I said you want to keep
really grabbing as you go up once
so now you're starting to get out a scarf this is going to be the base
the bottom line of your scarf sold its width wise so then you will build upward
so that's about as far as I'm gonna go with this one
now what you're going to do is going to get a little trickier you're going to
want to count down about three loops so I don't count this one account right
here
one two three so right there is where I want to put the next one in
so you're going to grab it like you normally would and then you're going to
push that through the third hole and come out the other side's announced
through the other side going to grab it and pull it through
so now you can see you three on here
if for some reason a lot of times when you're starting out you accidentally
lose it
it's fine you can see it you just want to push that back through the same way
I'm sorry
so you just want to try to get it back on there so again no my attentions a
little bit loose i'm going to re grab it
so now you're going to the same thing you're going to grab it and you're going
to pull through just the first two
now you have to their you want to grab it again and pull through the last so
now you've completed one line we're going to do it again now you're going to
take this and go through the next hole which is right next to it and then pull
that through
ok and you want to keep it flat you're gonna pull through just the first two
and then you're going to put through the last ones
ok so one more time we're going to grab this and you're going to go through the
next hole
push it through so it goes to the back then grab the string and pull it through
see their got a little stuck
okay and then you're going to ground this school through the first two and
then the last to see their got a lipstick also now keep in mind the very
first row is the most difficult once you have the second the first row done
you have something to grab onto for the next row so it's a little easier right
now you have nothing to hold on to accept this tiny little role that you
did when you first started this section right here
so you have nothing to really grab when you go to the next row you can hold on
to this
now this is going to be the next tricky part
what you want to do is you want to just do two hooks so you're gonna pull
through one pull through two
now you need to always be going from right to left so we're going to flip it
around
and now like I said you have something to hold on to you want to hold it at the
base
so now you have these two that are up higher this is actually going to be your
first role so your first rose already done so you're going to grab this and
you're going to go into the very first loop which is right here you can see if
I can hold this up right here is the first hole where you want to go right
there
so you can grab this and you're going to go through that section and everything
is the same motion
so we've got go through the first two and the last two again we're going to go
through the very next hole which is right here and you pull it through go to
the first two in the last two
so you can see now how you're starting to build the scarf
so you're going to grab the yarn and you're going to go through the next hole
which is right there and then from behind you going to grab it then you're
going to go through the first two and the last two again we're at the end
so we're going to do one two and then we're going to turn it around because
you always want to go from right to left
then you're going to loop it and go through that very first hole right there
and then you're going to go through the first two and the second - okay so
that's going to be using the four point two five millimeter
once you have the scarf as long as you want it right now there's just two rows
but you're going to keep building it up this way
as long as you want the scarf then what you're going to do is you're just going
to take a long piece of the end of it
then cut that once you have this cut
all you need to do is place the string through the hole since the slip knot and
then you're just going to pull it very tight
normally this would be a very long scarf I'm just showing you one section so this
would be one end of the scarf and this would be gatherin so now you have your
fridge for both ends
that's all you really need to do so this end would have fringe on it and if you
go to the end of the video you'll see how to add fringe and once you have it
all added you can cut the fringe at the link that you want it
and that is how you crochet a scarf
now i rarely do just one color so i'm going to show you how i would do this
with two
exactly the same nothing is different you just are using two colors but i
always use two or three colors when I makes cars so same thing you just do
everything with double
so we're still going to make our loop and i'll just show you the first few
the only thing you're gonna have to pay attention for is sometimes when you're
pulling it through you might not get both
so we're going to do the same thing we're going to get our attention and
you're just going to grab them and pull it through grab and pull through and
grab pull through
I tend to try to do a little looser what I'm doing - just because it makes it
easier for you to pull through the holes
see right there I almost grabbed just one so you just have to make sure that
you grab both and so then we're going to count down 123
and we're going to go in that hole there and pull it through
so now we have the three again to go through the first two might have to go
slower when you're first starting and the second - so you're going to grab the
string you're going to push it through the next hole and then you're going to
pull it through and then you have three
so you're going to go through the first two and then the last two
as you can see I've done the first role for the double color
i'm going to show you how to do this fringe now normally what i would do is
cut pieces on bolt with both colors and then do it all along the end since I
still making this one I can't exactly cut this color but i do have some extra
of the blue this lighter blue so i'm going to show you how you would attach
it
what you're going to want to do is you're going to want to take string for
the length that you did this for so I'm going to measure this
so it's the same length and then i'm going to double it
so I'm going to take that and i'm going to double it and i usually do just a
little bit extra just in case
so I'm just going to get a little bit longer and then you're going to cut that
right there you're going to take this and you're going to fold it in half so
now it looks like it's this for so normally this would be the dark green
and this would be the lighter greenish blue or you can just do it once all the
same if you want but then it's just not going to match because you're gonna have
that one odd one
what you want to put it in between the each roll like this you don't want to do
it down here
you want to do it in between the rows so we're going to take the loop part
so now you're going to find the next opening in between
you're going to push that through from the back
grab the loop you're going to take this part and feed it through the hole
so then you just pull it tight not not too tight because they look funny
it just turned out that it's not going to fall off so technically the French
could be taken off at any point someone like it because it's not really like
sewn on
as you can see as you go along the entire bottom you have like nice fringe
hanging down
so this is how you would start and make a scarf using two different colors with
fringe and also with using a six point five millimeter hook
