In a Jiffy Scarf
With only 11 total rows to work, you’ll fly through this stunning pattern. In just a few hours, you can add this stylish detail to your colder weather outfits. This gorgeous scarf is long enough to customize your wrap and has a ton of flexibility since it’s worked up with a long triple crochet stitch, which is also wonderfully meditative and easy to memorize. Use a super soft, bulky yarn like I did, and you can make some incredible gifts for the ones you love.

Notes
- Beginning ch counts as a stitch in this pattern.
- This scarf is worked lengthwise.
- Ch loosely for your starting/foundation ch or go up a hook size for it. This helps to ensure your scarf isn’t pulled tighter on one side.
- To make your scarf longer, you can add more sts to your foundation chain.
- Gauge: Work your gauge swatch over a repeat of Rows 2 and 3. If your turning chains seem tight on Row 3, try making a chain of 4 instead of 3.
