Instructions for Making the Beaded Scarf Pattern:
Foundation Row
- Begin by creating a slip knot on your hook.
- Work fdt (foundation double crochet) until your row measures approximately 6 ¼ inches wide. This creates a flexible base for the scarf while keeping edges neat and stretchable.
- Tip: If you prefer, you may start with a standard ch (chain) of the required length plus 3 turning chs, then work dc (double crochet) across.
Row 1: Establishing the Base
- Ch 3 (counts as first dc).
- Work 1 dc into each stitch across the row.
- Turn your work at the end.
- This row sets up the foundation for adding texture in the following rows.
Row 2: Introducing Bead Stitches
- Ch 3 (counts as first dc).
- Bead Stitch: Yarn over, insert hook around the post of the previous dc, pull up a loop. Repeat this 3 more times (you should have multiple loops on hook). Yarn over and pull through all loops except one, then yarn over again and pull through last 2 loops.
- Work a dc into the next stitch.
- Alternate bead stitch and dc across the row.
- End with a dc in the last stitch. Turn.
Row 3: Solid Row of Double Crochet
- Ch 3 (counts as first dc).
- Dc in each stitch across the row, working into both the top of bead stitches and the dc stitches.
- Turn.
- This alternating pattern balances texture and prevents the scarf from curling.
Row 4 and Beyond: Building the Pattern
- Continue alternating Row 2 (bead row) and Row 3 (dc row) until your scarf measures approximately 61 inches long (or desired length).
- Tip: For a more playful look, make the scarf longer; for a neck wrap style, stop shorter.
Adding Fringe
- Cut multiple strands of yarn, each about 10-12 inches long.
- Gather 3-4 strands together. Fold in half.
- Insert hook into the bottom edge of scarf, pull folded loop through, and draw ends through the loop to secure.
- Repeat evenly across both ends of the scarf. Trim to even out the fringe.
Finishing Touches
- Weave in all loose ends with a yarn needle.
- Gently block scarf if desired-pin it to shape and lightly mist with water to help set stitches.
- Enjoy your new beaded scarf!
Now, you’ll have a scarf that measures 6 ¼” wide x 61” long (excluding fringe), with a unique beaded texture and classic drape. Perfect as a statement piece or everyday accessory.
