The Classic Crochet Ribbed Scarf is a perfect addition to any wardrobe for men, women and kids.  The classic ribbed design can be made with five mini skeins as shown in the photos or in a solid or hand painted yarn too.  Designed by Valerie Baber of Valerie Baber Designs just for you to warm your day with a classic style.  Easy to make crocheted scarf that can be worn in various ways.  Made with a fingerling/sock weight yarn to keep you warm and cozy in the colder days.  The Classic Crochet Ribbed Scarf is one you will wear for years to come.

Yarn:  Shown in 1 set of Party of Five mini skeins by SweetGeorgia Yarns, or you can use approximately 535 yards, 480 m of fingerling/sock weight yarn if you are making a solid coloured scarf, or use 5 small balls of yarn approximately 110 yards, 100 m. Check that you work the same measurements I have listed making changes at your end as necessary.

Finished Measurements:  60 inches, 152.4 cm long by 4.5 inches, 11.25 cm wide.

Gauge:  My tension was 5 hdc’s and 4 rows of hdc bl rib pattern equaled 1 inch. 

Crochet Hook:  I used USA terminology for crochet stitches, US 0-1 H (2 to 2.25mm) hook for the fingerling/sock weight yarn.  You may need to use one size up or down depending on your tension.

Other supplies:  Yarn needle to sew in ends.

Pattern Essentials: 

ch – chain

hdc – half double crochet

hdc bl – half double crochet in the back loop only

RS – Right Side

sc – single crochet    

sl st – slip stitch

Base of Scarf:

The Classic Crochet Ribbed scarf is perfect for everyone and can be made with various colours as shown including gradient yarns, variegated yarns or solid colours.  If using mini skeins or small balls of yarn, choose the colours you are going to use and number them in the order you want them to flow beginning on the outside edge working to the other side.  A classic crochet scarf that can be made for woman, men, teens and children (I would make it shorter for children).
