Anyone have a 2-3 hour scarf pattern?

[CrochetisCrack2001]

I'm getting down to the wire for crochet christmas presents, so I was hoping someone had some really quick and easy scarf patterns to share. I need man, woman, and child if possible. :yes I thought I already had my patterns picked out, but a project I am working on currently is taking longer than I thought. I think I need....speed patterns! :yay

Thanks for the help!

chain two hundred, use either sc, double, or hdc, using back loop only crochet in each stitch across, chain two, turn, and repeat row one until you reach the desired width. Good luck!!

[CrochetisCrack2001]

Oh that's a good one! Thanks! :)

Why not just pick your favorite simple stitch and go with it?

I posted a dishcloth pattern on my blog a couple of weeks ago, and I use that same stitch for all sorts of things, scarves included (just finished one for an online friend). Sometimes I use BLO for a bit of a ridge, or do it in both loops for a flatter effect.

Here's the pattern for the dishcloth if you want to have a look:

All you'd need to do is modify the number of chains depending on how wide you wanted it, and just continue as long as you want.

Quick and simple, and still pretty.

Similar to Alibra's but with 2 strands, very quick! Ch 120 for shorter version or 150 for lonnnnggggg version, lol! I use a P hook. Two contrasting colors look nice. DC in 3rd ch from hk and across, ch 2, turn. Repeat row 1 until it's as wide as you want! I've also done sc too. Fringe if you like! About 1 hour to do!

I chain enough for 13 dc, then work until I run out of yarn. One strand of yarn. I did tons of these last year for Christmas. Used a verigated pattern to keep it interesting.
here were the ones I did last year:
http://debbia1.blogspot.com/2007/12/pinata-color-scarf.html - pinata scarf
http://debbia1.blogspot.com/2007/10/zebra-color-scarf.html - zebra color scarf, did an edging on this one.
http://debbia1.blogspot.com/2007/10/monet-color-scarf.html - monet color scarf.
http://debbia1.blogspot.com/2007/10/lipstick-color-scarf.html - lipstick color scarf

2 strands are also fast. Or a thicker yarn. two years ago I used a Boucle type yarn and a large hook and could crochet one in an hour.

Do a quick search here on crochetville for "queen anne's lace" and that should take you to a pretty scarf pattern that is suitable for ladies or girls. I just used that pattern to make a gift scarf for my 15yo who needs a swap gift, and I was able to make a very pretty scarf out of just one 50g skein (worsted weight yarn). It definitely falls into the 2-3 hours category.

OOOOHHHH!!! Pretty scarves! I love the monet, that's my favorite RHSS color! :clap

Did you check out the Puff Scarf CAL (http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?t=86726)?? It has a puff stitch tutorial on the first page, and pics of completed scarfs on page 3 & 5.
I did that scarf, and it worked up in no time!! I made a hat to match and that took only a couple hours also. The nice thing about both of these patterns is you can use stash yarn too.

Here's a pic of mine and the link to the hat pattern:

The hat pattern is from CraftyPants "Pretty Puff Slouchy Hat (http://jessicasuzanne.com/craftypants/2007/09/13/pretty-puffs-slouchy-hat-with-pattern/)"

I second this pattern. I have been making these for gifts and it works up quickly and the pattern is beautiful! Actually I am working on another one made with varigated yarn now! :hook

I always do V stitch scarves because you don't have to crochet into the stitches, just into the spaces, so it's super speedy; no more hunting for the top two loops of the stitch or the top of the turning chain, especially when using fuzzy yarn.

V-stitch. This is the pattern I use when I can see the stitches. If I can't see the stitches clearly (because of fuzzy yarn), at the end of the row, instead of dc into the last dc, I'll just dc in between the last two dc):
Foundation Row: Ch 18 (or mult of 3). Dc in 4th chain from hook, ch1, dc in next chain, *skip 1 chain, dc in next chain, ch1, dc in next chain, repeat from * to last chain. Dc in last chain. Turn.
Pattern Row: Ch3, skip first 2 dc, *(dc, ch1, dc) in each ch-1 space across until you reach the last two dc of the previous row (dc and turning chain). Dc in turning chain. Turn.
Just repeat the pattern row to desired length.

Block pattern (another super easy one where you don't have to crochet into any stitches):
Foundation Row: Ch 18 (or mult of 3). Dc in 6th chain from hook, *ch1, skip next chain, dc in next chain* 6 times. (7 spaces)
Row 1: Ch2, turn. Dc in first ch-1 space. *ch1, dc in next ch-1 space* 6 times. Dc around turning chain. (7 spaces)
Row 2: Ch3, turn. Dc in first ch-1 space. *ch1, dc in next ch-1 space* 5 times. Dc around turning chain. (7 spaces)
You repeat Rows 1 and 2 until you get your desired length.

Hope those prove helpful. :) Happy hooking. :hook

P.S. And just in case anyone is wondering, these aren't published patterns, just ones I do, written from memory. However, you'll probably find the same stitch in different stitch dictionaries.

I love this pattern: Sensational Scarf (http://bloomingpatterns.blogspot.com/2008/07/sensational-scarf.html).

It works up quickly, too. I'm making one for myself right now! :D

[CrochetisCrack2001]

Wow thanks everyone for all the great patterns! :cheer

I'm definitely stashing some of these for after Christmas too when I can finally start making some stuff for myself hehe :lol

I love this idea, I've been looking for a good scarf pattern to go with the hat I'm making. Since the hat I'm making is hdc in back loops, maybe a dc in back looks would be a good match for it. I'm also making it out of a one pounder, so once I'm finished the hat, I can go straight onto the scarf, maybe add some fringe, and be done with the one pounder!

Check out annie attic free pattern today. It's a hat and scarf set. You use a size P hook, so it's probably pretty quick. If you don't have that type of yarn 2 strands of any WW yarn would work. Or maybe homespun if you like that yarn.

I'd second this! I had a fluffy boucle yarn I needed to use for scarves to match hats and other than the first row being a bit annoying due to the fact I couldn't see the individual chains, it went really fast! Doesn't matter what kind of yarn you use really as you don't need to work in the chains after the first row.

Lion brand website has a two hour, I have made several, I am making them with the Q hook and 3 strands of cotton, they turn out super cute.

its very easy and works up in less then 2 hours, takes me about 45 minutes and I am not super speedy.

Just did one like that and it was quick and turned out nice. I made mine in stripes and added fringe so I didn't have to weave in loose ends.
