Step-by-Step Guide to Crocheting a Popcorn Stitch Scarf
1. Foundation Chain
Start by creating a foundation chain:
- Chain 30-40: This will determine the width of your scarf. Adjust the number based on how wide you want it.
2. Row 1: Double Crochet Base
Create the first row of double crochets:
- In the 4th chain from the hook: Yarn over and make 1 DC.
- Continue making DCs: In each chain across until you reach the end of the row.
3. Row 2: Popcorn Stitch
Now it’s time to create your first row of popcorn stitches:
- Chain 3: This counts as your first DC for the row.
- Popcorn Stitch: Make 4 more DCs into the same stitch to form the popcorn.
- Skip 1 stitch: Then, in the next stitch, make another popcorn stitch.
- Repeat: Continue this pattern across the row, making sure to skip one stitch between popcorn stitches.
4. Row 3: Double Crochet Back
Return to a base row of double crochet:
- Chain 3: This counts as your first DC for the new row.
- Make DC in each popcorn: Work a DC in the top of each popcorn stitch across the row.
5. Repeat Rows
Continue alternating between popcorn stitch rows and double crochet rows until the scarf reaches your desired length (typically around 60-70 inches).
