Easy Crochet Texture Scarf with Cute Edging
With all the cold weather, who wouldn’t want a nice crocheted scarf with cute trim? In case you missed them, I’ve been sharing easy gift ideas that you can make in a day or less. We all have limited time but that doesn’t mean you can’t make something handmade for a gift.
If you missed them, I have a tutorial for Rose Sugar Body Scrub, which I ‘ve been using myself and love it. I also made a cute Felted Wool Christmas Pillow. Both of those projects took an hour or less to make.
The project for today is a little more time consuming. I worked on it an hour here and there. It took me about 4 hours total to crochet. I’m don’t crochet that fast so you might be able to complete it in a quicker than that. But I’m going to say for the average person who knows how to crochet this should be able to be completed in about half a day.
I made a video tutorial for all the stitches that will be used in the scarf, just in case you have never crocheted before, but want to give it a try.

What a beautiful scarf, Shelly! 🙂
I love how you share how long these homemade projects take. It’s helping to know they don’t take as much time as one might think!
Thanks Sandra! I’m always a little afraid to start a project not knowing how long it will take. I have unfinished project syndrome. If the project is too involved I get almost done and put it down, almost never to be picked up again. So I like to include about how long it takes to complete a project.
I usually knit two socks at the same time on circular needles, just so I don’t end up with the one sock finished and the other one still on the needles. I think for this next year, I should make a goal to finish those few projects that are almost done in my knitting box. Maybe that would help me get those done. 🙂
This is a cute scarf, especially the trim! I love that you can make it in half a day or so…I love to give handmade gifts, but it’s so hard to find the time to actually get them done.
Thanks for sharing the pattern!
