When newbies ask me what to do for their first crochet project, I often recommend making a simple scarf. Since most scarves are shaped like long rectangles, this is a great way to practice basic crochet stitches without worrying about advanced shaping techniques.

In the list below, I have collected my favorite free and easy crochet scarf patterns selected for beginners. Each of these templates contains detailed instructions and lots of photos to guide you through each step from start to finish.

However, these templates aren’t just for beginners! Intermediate crochet craftsmen and seasoned ones will love these patterns to make quick gifts and charity projects.

The amount of yarn needed to knit a scarf depends on the pattern and the yarn itself. In most cases, you will need about two balls or skeins of yarn to make a scarf. Be sure to read your specific yarn pattern or label for more information.
