Is the Keep Cozy Chunky Scarf Difficult?
This crochet chunky scarf pattern is a great choice for anyone looking to enhance their skills. The design features alternating blocks of single crochets and the even moss stitch. It’s a quick pattern that is easy to learn, especially if you already know the basics.
What Yarn Weight Should I Use for This Pattern?
If you want your crochet scarf to be as delighfully squishy as the one seen in the photos, go for super bulky yarn. The designer suggests using Bernat Softee Chunky Solids, which is a 100% acrylic yarn with a soft structure. Picking a lighter yarn will result in a smaller-sized scarf, so it’s best to follow the pattern’s recommendations.
Achieving Great Drape for Chunky Crochet Scarf
Projects worked with super bulky yarn tend to be firm and structured, but that’s not what we want from crochet scarves. We like them to be flowy and drapey so we can wrap them comfortably around our necks or drop them loosely over the shoulders.
That is why you should use a larger crochet hook than the one specified on the yarn label to make the scarf. The pattern calls for a 10 mm crochet hook, while the typical hook size for super bulky yarn is an 8 mm one.
Can I Make This Cozy Chunky Scarf Longer?
Yes, you can. By repeating the same pattern of alternating textures, you can make this crochet chunky scarf as long as you want. The included original instructions allow you to make a wrap that is roughly 51 inches long. You may also want to check out our crochet scarf sizing guide.
