The Actual Urban Rib Scarf Crochet Pattern Free
With your 6 mm / US US J – 10 hook, ch 300 + 1.
Row 1: Hdc across, turn.
Note: You can replace the starting chain and first row by 300 foundation half double crochet stitches. This will make it easier to count the stitches, avoid working in such a long chain and help avoid any issues with a tight chain. If you’re not familiar with this technique, this video tutorial is very helpful.
Row 2: Ch 1, sl st in 3rd loop across, turn.
Row 3: Ch 1, hdc in front loop only across, turn.
Repeat Row 2 and 3 until you reach 15 cm / 6” wide finishing on a row 2. Bind off and weave in the ends.
Blocking
Sick of all the yarn jargon and conversions?
US vs UK, abbreviations, imperial vs metric, yarn weights, etc?
You are done with the knitting part. Make sure to weave in all the ends. To make your blanket even prettier, help even your stitches, block your project.
Don’t skip this step as it can make a huge difference. Read my detailed tutorial on why block, how-to, and all my tips and tricks if you need help.
