Scarves....stupid question!

[calico carol]

Ok...my 23 yo dd wants a black scarf...I've been promising I'll make her one forever...I have Simply Soft yarn....what pattern can I do really quickly?
Last one I made her I worked horizontally, starting with a long chain the length she wanted. I'd prefer to make one from end-to-end this time and stop when I want.
What's a good, easy, simple pattern that has some texture and dimension to it, that I can work up over the weekend?
I'm afraid I'm too lazy to dig thru old posts...I'm sure the answer is probably on here somewhere, but thanks anyway!

Here is a really cute one that I found that was done in Caron Simplt Soft. Is new and is very pretty

Pattern from Ruthie's Easy Crocheted Scarves (Leisure Arts). Lace and Spirals.
Caron Simply Soft Brights.

I started this one about an hour ago and am almoast finished! It is a cut pattern, very easy, and would look good in any type of yarn. I have also modified the 5 1/2 hour throw pattern to make scarves for x-mas, some of them out of homespun, if youare interested P.M. me:hook

I was going to suggest this one, just go up a hook size for the Simply soft. It works up nicely and looks great.

The cool thing about scarves is that ANYTHING goes....

I use scarves to test new stitches, patterns, whatever. I have even used M-A-M afghan pattern panels to make scarves (and they are the coolest) I have a billion scarves because of this.

Find a stitich you like and narrow it down to 15 - 25 stitches and repeat over and over for a scarf.

A scarf does not have to be from an official pattern if you don't want it to be.

It can turn out great as a productive "experiment".
