Medium worsted weight yarn in the color(s) of your choice. You will need at least one ball of yarn, and possible three or four depending on how big the yarn balls are and long you want to make your scarf.

Size H crochet hook. This is a good size for working with medium worsted weight yarn. If you end up choosing a different type of yarn, then be sure to check the label for recommendations about what hook size works best with that kind of yarn.

Yarn over, and pull the yarn through the “v”. Now you have 2 loops on your hook. Yarn over, temporarily putting three loops, and pull through both the loops. Now you have one. Continue. Now, when you reach the end of the chain you made, create a chain. Flip the row you just made, and insert your hook into BOTH loops that make the “v” and continue. If you want an extra stretchy material, insert your hook into only one, known as “sc in blo only”.
