If you have no time, no yardage, no experience and no heat, then this is the perfect scarf for you to try! It's fast, uses only 1 ball, uses easy stitches and is decepptively warm.
It's nothing but chains and single crochets making it an ideal and fast beginner scarf. I know that when I first start on any craft or skill, I'm always looking for that instant gratification to get me all pumped up for the more involved projects.
Chainggang
1 ball Charisma by Loops and Threads (It's the Michael's house brand. It's actually very soft and comfortable to work with and I recommend it!)
Size N hook (10 mm)
Tapestry needle
Chain 158.
Starter row: Sc in second chain from hook, *Ch 5, Skip 5 chains, SC in 6th chain*Repeat to end.
All following rows: Ch 1, turn, Sc in first sc, *Ch 5, Sc in next sc* Repeat to end.
Sew in your ends.
This took me no time at all. I'd guess 2 hours, tops. If you want to substitute yarns, I suggest using thick fluffy yarns or highly textured yarns for the best results. I love smooth yarns, but worsted weight and thinner seem to result in a somewhat anorexic looking scarf. This would also be an excellent scarf for handspun yarns and especially thick and thin yarns.
