Supplies
- 10mm hook
- Premier yarn, Elle by Me Auralie (shown in Bejeweled) 3 balls
- Stitch markers
- Scissors
- Large eye tapestry needle or 2mm hook
- Ruler or tape measure
Yarn shown is Premier Elle by Me, Aurallie colorway, Bejeweled.
A 6″ x 60″ scarf will use 910 yards, or 3 balls.
Finished Size (before border)
60″ x 6″ — but easy to modify by chaining more and/or adding more rounds, as discussed in the video tutorial.
Gauge: 4″ = 8 rounds x 8 sts
For a wider scarf: chain up to 12 more stitches at the start to allow flexibility when wrapping around the neck. Then add 2-4 more inches of rounds. A good option for plus sizes for a flattering fit.

Abbreviations
- ch = chain
- sc = single crochet
- extsc* = extended single crochet
- yo = yarn over
- st = stitch
- slpst = slip stitch
- rvsc = reverse single crochet
*Extsc: Go into stitch, yarn over, pull through one loop, yarn over again, pull through both loops.
Pattern
Ch 106, long stitches. Do this by starting with your slipknot and pulling each chain out to nearly 1″ before making the next chain, to create long stitches. See the video tutorial for a demonstration.
Because working in the round with this yarn is challenging, we will not connect it into rounds until later. Work flat until instructed to connect the sides.
Row 1: In the second ch from the hook, work extsc to the end of the row. Keep stitches loose — make sure you are not stitching tightly. Check the length to be sure it is what you’d like.
Row 2: Ch 1, turn. Work extsc across the row. Join to start row/round 3 now — remove the hook and bring the working loop into the top of the first stitch of the row. Ch 1.
Round 3: Work extsc around. You may want to secure the connection point from the first two rows/rounds with a stitch marker temporarily to keep it from moving until you close the gap later. You will work in a spiral — no joins at the end of rounds.
Once you’ve worked approximately 4″, stop and close the starting row gap using a 12″ length of yarn. Work it through the body of the stitches to close the space (not using the mattress stitch).
Closing the gap: Secure the starting end of your 12″ strand to the tail of the starting chain by knotting (the border stitch will blend it in), and weave in those tails too.
Continue rounds to your desired width — shown here is 6″, but feel free to make it wider if you prefer a balaclava-style option. Do not cut the yarn; you will begin working the border directly.
Finishing
Slip stitch to join at the end of your final round. Then ch 1 and begin reverse single crochet — this stitch is a single crochet worked to the right instead of the left, creating a rope-style finish along the edge.
At the end of the round, slip stitch to join and weave in the end. Then insert yarn on the opposite end and work the same border stitch.
Cut yarn and weave in all ends.
