Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky yarn in a soft peach color
• Hook: 10 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 6 rows = 4 inches in back loop only single crochet

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Slip Knot: Begin by making a slip knot on your crochet hook. This is the foundation of your scarf.
2. Chain 16: Yarn over and pull through the loop on your hook to create a chain. Repeat this until you have a total of 16 chains. This will be the width of your scarf.
3. Row 1: In the second chain from the hook, make a single crochet (sc). Continue to make a single crochet in each chain across. You should have 15 single crochets at the end of this row. Turn your work to start the next row.
4. Row 2: Chain 1 to start the new row. Now, for this row, you will work in the back loop only. Insert your hook into the back loop of the first single crochet and make a single crochet. Continue this for each stitch across the row, making sure to only work in the back loop. Turn your work when you finish this row.
5. Repeat Row 2: Continue repeating Row 2 until your scarf measures approximately 60 inches or your desired length. Remember to keep your tension consistent for an even texture.
6. Fasten Off: Once your scarf has reached the desired length, cut the yarn, leaving a tail of about 6 inches. Pull the tail through the last loop on your hook to secure it.
7. Weave in Ends: Use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends. This will give your scarf a neat finish and ensure that it lasts for years to come.

Congratulations! You’ve just completed your very own chunky back loop crochet scarf. Enjoy wearing your cozy creation or gift it to someone special!
