This crochet super scarf design is simple, and easy, but is perfect for any cold-weather occasion. The primrose stitch makes up the “lace” portion of the scarf giving a light and airy feel to an otherwise very warm accessory. The ridges are made using half-double crochet in the 3rd loop, a technique which gives the look of knit fabric.
Red Heart With Love is a soft, squeezable, very thick worsted weight yarn that makes excellent winter scarves! If I’m crocheting a piece that needs that extra warmth Red Heart With Love is one of my main “go-to” yarns. Because it is made from acrylic it washes and wears easily with very little special care.
I’ve had so many requests from you to turn this design into an afghan that I did that over here.

Working in the 3rd Loop of hdc – Instructions: Look at the top of the stitch, and locate the sideways “V”, bend the stitch to look at the back and you should see another “V” made by the “yarn over”. You’ll be working into the back loop of that “V”. This is called the 3rd loop. When you are working in rows, this 3rd loop will be facing you after you turn!

-Several people have asked how to shorten this pattern. Try 192 stitches (193 chains) for a 5′ scarf, and 228 stitches (229 chains) for a 6′ scarf. You could even make a longer scarf, just make sure your starting chain number is divisible by 3 + 1 (the first two chains of the row count as a stitch).
-Ch 2, and ch 3 do count as first stitch of row unless otherwise indicated.
-If you need a little more help on how to work this pattern, try watching the video below. It works for the hat, scarf, blanket, fingerless gloves, etc that use this stitch pattern:
