The Classic Ribbed Scarf

Any ribbed fabric looks great as a scarf, but I’m particularly fond of this stitch: the yarn-over slip stitch! It has such great drape, and looks so neat and tidy with its perfect little Vs all stacked up. Sometimes it can be difficult to crochet gifts for people who have simple, classic taste because anything too “original” is outside of their comfort zone. Yarn-over slip stitch to the rescue!

Notes

Scarf is worked flat in turned rows. Turning chains do not count as a stitch. You may find it useful to mark the first and last sts of each row with a removeable stitch marker to keep stitch count consistent.

Yarn-over slip stitch (YOslst): Yo, insert hook into stitch, yo and pull up loop, continue to pull loop through both (all) loops on hook

Yarn-over slip stitch through back loop (YOslst blp): Stitch worked same as above but worked only through the back loop of stitch (not under both loops as normal)

Weave in ends (or incorporate them into the fringe if they are along the short ends of the scarf). Block.

Fringe

Wrap yarn loosely around piece of 5.5” [14 cm] cardboard 66 times and cut once along bottom edge of cardboard for a total of 66 pieces of 11” [28 cm] yarn. Using crochet hook, attach three yarn strands of fringe held together as one through each corner stitch and knot each section together with an overhand knot near edge. There is now one tassel at each corner. Add 9 more sections of fringe (each made with 3 strands of fringe) every other row, between the corner tassels. Repeat for opposite edge of scarf. There should be 11 tassels on each end of scarf. Trim fringe if necessary for an even edge.
