04.12.20 Update: Back in 2014, this was one of my first designs!

I made this scarf to match the Short Slouchy Hat with Visor you see in one of my original photos that I made from a Bernat pattern that I no longer see on the site.

I had picked up another skein of Bernat Softee Chunky in the same beautiful creamy colorway, and planned to make a one skein scarf, and I named it the “Softee Chunky Short Ribbed Scarf”.

My nails are Color Street Oops a Paisley.

In this update, I renamed the pattern, worked the scarf to a normal, average length, and added 3 more sizes to now include 4 sizes!

Brett Haylee is an easy crochet line that features simple half double crochet stitches worked in the back loop only to create a beautiful texture and ribbed fabric. This is a beginner friendly series, and this scarf is great project to pair with watching your favorite TV show or movie. You don’t even need to count rows if you don’t want to, just use a soft tape measure to measure as you go, and stop at the length desired.

What Supplies Do I Need to Crochet a Super Chunky Ribbed Scarf?

• 65 (125, 195, 250) Yards of Super Chunky Weight Yarn
• M13/9mm Crochet Hook
• Scissors
• Tapestry Needle
• Optional, Jewelry Pliers
• Optional, Tape Measure

Tools & Notions:

I used Lion Brand’s Wool Ease Thick n Quick in the Fossil colorway.

I really enjoy using this yarn for super bulky weight projects. It is a wool/acrylic blend. If you are looking for an acrylic yarn option, there is Lion Brand’s Hometown, which comes in so many great colorways, or Lion Brand Mandala Thick & Quick. If you don’t have a Super Bulky weight yarn, or are having trouble finding one you like, you can also hold 3 strands of a Worsted Weight #4 Yarn together, which is especially fun when you combine different colors together.

You can use any super bulky weight yarn from your stash – pick your favorite! If the finished size is essential to you, check your gauge, but if not, just start crocheting – you can even go up to a #7 jumbo weight yarn for an oversized, statement scarf.

Tools & Notions:

We have lots of great crochet hooks in our Yarn Crafts and Coffee Yarn Shop. The most popular, and preferred by Candace and Emily, are the Clover Amour Crochet Hooks with the soft handles and smooth metal hook. Alexandra prefers metal crochet hooks with large, ergonomic clay handles and just loves the fun designs from SiennasBowtique and BronzeShepherdStudio! If your preference is wood, the LYKKE brand are lovely, smooth and sturdy.

Scissors are an essential tool. When I’m working on the go, I like to carry a pair of folding scissors as they fit perfectly in even the tiniest of bags. When I am working at home or have more space in my bag for a larger notions pouch, I like to use a pair of lightweight, all-purpose scissors as they are so versatile and great for a variety of things from cutting plastic canvas mesh to trimming yarn ends after weaving in to cutting out a care card to include with a handmade gift.

Tapestry Needles with the blunt, round end are essential for sewing and finishing on a number of yarn crafts, including crocheting, knitting as well as needlepointing on fabric and plastic canvas. The blunt, rounded end allows the needle to pass easily through the fabric created by yarn and holes on canvas without snagging (or getting your fingers) in the process. More specifically for crocheting and knitting, a Bent Tip Tapestry Needle makes weaving, grafting and sewing so much easier on the hands. The long oval eye makes threading strands of yarn easier, though you may still want to use a needle threader.

Jewelry Pliers are an excellent tool to use to help weave in the ends of tough yarns, such as cotton yarns and chunkier yarns, that can be quite tough on the fingers when weaving in with just fingers and a tapestry needle. Sore thumbs and frustration can be a thing of the past by simply using jewelry pliers to help pull the tapestry needle through the work. Make sure the eye of the needle is facing up so you can see directly down it and carefully pull, wiggling as needed. If it gets caught and you tug too hard, it will break the eye of your needle.

A tape measure is an essential tool in a multitude of crafts, including crocheting, knitting and needlepoint to name a few, especially if you are cutting material to finish a project or trying to meet gauge.

While gauge is not essential in this project, the tape measure still comes in handy if you want to measure as you go, instead of counting your rows.

How Long Does it Take to Crochet a Super Chunky Ribbed Scarf?

I worked up the adult small size in just over 1 hours, 45 minutes.

Measurements:

• Toddler: 4″ by 30 1/8″
• Child: 5 1/4″ by 45 1/2″
• Adult Small: 6 1/2″ by 60″
• Adult Large: 7″ by 70″

Gauge (Not Essential):

In Pattern: 9 HDC by 7 Rows = 4″ Wide by 4 1/4″ Tall

The easiest way to take gauge is to work in pattern, and measure your work after at least Row 3 to see if it matches the given width measurement, then continue working in pattern, and periodically check the length to see if it matches the given length measurement. Easy peasy!

Abbreviations (US Terms):

• BLO – Back Loop Only (Photo Tutorial)

• HDC – Half Double Crochet (Photo Tutorial | Video Tutorial)

Pattern Notes:

The beginning chain 1 does not count as a stitch.

The reason we are working the first and last stitches into both loops is to create a cleaner, straighter edge.

Try to keep a looser tension with the first and last stitch, otherwise the sides will scrunch up a bit because these stitches are worked lower than that in the back loop. If needed, work the first and last stitch as an Extended Half Double Crochet (EHDC) to give yourself extra height. To EHDC: Yarn over, insert your hook into the stitch as normal, yarn over and pull through (3 loops on the hook), yarn over and pull through 1 loop only, then yarn over and pull through all 3 loops.

Increasing or decreasing the total length of the scarf is easy as you can just add or subtract rows in any number that you like.

To turn your regular, open scarf into an infinity scarf, bring the beginning and the end together and sew the two [short] ends together to create a tube. For an even better fit when you wrap the scarf, before bringing the ends together, lay the scarf flat, take the bottom end and flip the fabric over 180 degrees, then bring the ends together and sew it closed. This twist, often called a mobius twist, really helps the scarf lay nicely around the neck when it’s wrapped twice.
