This crochet scarf tutorial features four of the most common stitches in crochet. Once you learn these building blocks, you will be well on your way to crocheting larger projects using a wide variety of stitch patterns!

I designed this scarf to teach teens how to crochet! While coasters and dishcloths are some of the best patterns to learn, I thought teens especially might enjoy creating a fun accessory they would get to wear.

I’ve linked to some of my favorite video tutorials for learning to crochet. All beginners should either learn in person, when possible, or via video.

I hope you enjoy this pattern! And if you are new, I hope you enjoy learning to crochet!!!
