Mindless One Skein Scarf 

 

Two things to remember.  
I’m self-taught and there 
is a 99% chance I’m doing 
something backwards. I 
apologize. 2) I’m terrible 
about following patterns, 
let alone actually writing 
them. Please keep that in 
mind, and if you find that 
something doesn’t make 
sense, feel free to ask!  It’s 
pretty simple really, and 
nice and mindless once 
you get the rhythm of it. 
This has been my go-to 

for when I need a project that requires little thinking. And, the result is quite nice, if I do say so 
myself. This patterns works out to a pretty decent mid-size scarf. The purple and green scarves 
were made with Caron Simply Soft, both just under a full skein. They each came to 4.5-5 feet long. 
Change up your yarn and/or hook size to personalize it even more. 
 

Materials: 

I used WW yarn and an I hook, which resulted in an approximately 5” wide, 5’ long scarf with just 
under a full skein, but really it depends on preference. I recommend playing around with different 
yarns/hooks until you achieve a result you like. 
 

Instructions: 

CH  a multiple of 3, plus 4 (I’ve been starting with 19, 3x5+4 for an approx. 5” wide scarf) 
 
Row 1: 2DC, CH2, SC all in the 4th CH from your hook, *skip 2 chains, (2DC, CH2, SC)* repeat from * 
to *, CH3, turn 
 
Row 2: (2DC, CH2, SC) in the CH2 space from previous row. Repeat across. CH3, turn. 
 
Simply repeat row 2 until desired length. To finish off I CH2 and SS into the row below the one I just 
completed.
