A crochet  scarf with an easy pattern. I have another blog post about simple crochet scarf . Nearest to that pattern but the gap between crotchets is wider to make it light weight. The pattern is in multiples of 5. Here I used 30 chains. So you can extend the width of the scarf in multiples of 5.  Procedure: For first row do 36 chains. Second row: Leave 6 chains and in the 7 th chain do 1 double crochet, do 4 chains in the 5th chain 1 double crochet and continue to the end. Third row: Do 6 chains and do 1 double crochet from the 5th chain of the previous row. Again 4 chains from the 5 the chain of the previous row do 1 double crochet. Continue to the end.  I have prepared 90 rows. You can do it as lengthy you need.  A thin crochet scarf to wear in light winter weather.
