How to Make a Crochet Sweater Scarf

Fall is the perfect time to cozy up with a warm and stylish accessory, like a crochet sweater scarf. In this tutorial, I will walk you through the steps of creating a beautiful crocheted scarf that is not only easy to make but also trendy. With just a few materials and some basic crochet stitches, you'll have a fabulous scarf that will keep you warm all season long.

Materials Needed

Before we get started, let's gather all the materials we'll need for this project. Here's what you'll need:

1. Yarn - I used Heartland from Lion Brand, a weight 4 yarn.
2. Crochet hook - Start with a 5.5mm hook and switch to a 6.5mm hook later in the project.
3. Yarn needle - This will be used for finishing touches and sewing.

Now that we have everything we need, let's begin making our crochet sweater scarf.

Starting the Crochet Sweater Scarf

1. Chain and Single Crochet Rows

To start, we will chain 51 stitches using the 5.5mm crochet hook. Then, single crochet into the second chain from the hook and continue single crocheting into each chain until the end of the row. Chain one and turn your work.

2. Working into the Back Loop

For the next set of rows, we will be working into the back loop of every stitch. This will create a ribbed effect. Place one single crochet into the back loop of each stitch and repeat this row until you have a total of 45 rows completed.

3. Adding Rows for the Sleeve Section

Once you have completed the ribbed section, it's time to change to a larger hook. Switch to the 6.5mm crochet hook and chain one. Then, single crochet along the short edge of your work, making 45 single crochets across. Chain one and turn your work.

Continue by skipping the next stitch and single crocheting into the following stitch. Work in front of the single crochet just made and single crochet into the skipped stitch. Repeat this pattern across the row until you reach the end. Chain one and turn your work.

Repeat this row until your entire piece measures 72 inches in length. Once you've reached the desired length, chain one and single crochet into every stitch across.

Changing to a Larger Hook

After completing the 72-inch length, it's time to switch back to the 5.5mm crochet hook. Chain 51 stitches and single crochet into the second chain from the hook. Continue single crocheting into each of the next 49 chains. You should have 50 single crochets in total.

Next, slip stitch into each of the next two single crochets, skipping the first single crochet. Turn your work.

Adding Ribbed Section

Now, we will work into the back loop of every stitch to create another ribbed section. Place one single crochet into the back loop of each stitch. Chain one, turn your work, and repeat this process until you reach the end of the row.

Finishing Touches

Complete the ribbed section by slipping stitch into each of the next two single crochets. Repeat this process across the short edge of your work. Once you've finished, fasten off.

To complete the crochet sweater scarf, simply fold over the ribbed section to create sleeves and sew from one end to the other using a yarn needle and some yarn.
