Braided-Crochet Scarf

Here is my latest (and finally!) completed crochet project!


I had seen a few similar scarves floating around on Pinterest (of course!) and decided to make myself one. None of them had any tutorials or instructions so I just made it up myself and it turned out pretty cute and similar to the ones I had looked at. The other ones were only one loop but I love being able to double it up so I made mine quite a bit longer. It was pretty time consuming since it is made entirely of double crochet stitches but here is how I made it:

You will need:
2 skeins of light weight yarn
G hook

How to make the scarf:
1. chain 220 (or however many to make it the desired length you prefer!)
2. double crochet stitch into each chain (that's why it took so long but has such a nice solid form to it and isn't "holey")
3. do four rows or until each strand is to your desired width
4. repeat three times to make three separate strands
5. once you are done with the three strands, loosely braid them and then whipstitch the ends together. and done!
