I love wearing scarves and the cozy feeling they provide on those chilly fall and winter days. Today I’m sharing a pattern that uses worsted weight yarn to create a comfortable and breathable scarf. The little open spaces create a simple and pretty design, but the segments of solid rows help to maintain a warmth and cozy feeling. It’s an easy pattern to adjust in both length and width so you can customize the size to suit your style and preference.

Back Loop Half Double Crochet (BLHDC): Instead of working into the top of the stitch under both loops, make the HDC stitch into the back loop only (the loop furthest from you).
Pattern:

Row 1:
Into the first stitch and each stitch across, place 1 HDC. CH 1 and turn.

(11 DC stitches, 10 CH 1 = 21 stitches)
Row 5:
Place 1 HDC into each stitch (working into the CH 1 stitches, not the space). When you reach the end (the turning CH 3 from row 4), place 1 HDC into the next two CH stitches. CH 1 and turn.
