What crochet stitch is best for a scarf?
1. Single Crochet. Single crochet is the simplest stitch in all of crochet, but that doesn’t mean it can’t hold its own in a scarf. It’s great for relaxing stitching, and because it makes a somewhat dense fabric, you can go up a hook size or two to give your scarf some drape.
How many cast on for a chunky scarf?
Cast on 10-40 stitches using your first color of yarn, depending on the size of your needles and desired width. If you are a beginner knitter, you should make a relatively small scarf, enough to keep you warm, but avoid making it so wide that it takes too long to knit.

How many chains do you need to crochet a scarf?
If you’re using a medium-width yarn, each chain will be about 1/4 inch. If you want your scarf to be 5 inches wide, then that would be 20 chains. For a thinner yarn, it might be 1/8 inch wide per chain, so you’d want to double that to 40 chains. If it’s a really chunky yarn, you could probably do 10-12 chains.
How wide should a scarf be crochet?
The width of the scarf is your choice. Most scarves are between 6 and 8 inches. Make a swatch that’s at least 4 inches wide and 4 inches long and figure out the average number of stitches per inch and rows per inch. Stitches per inch x desired width = number of stitches to cast on or chain.
