Wrapping up warm in a beautifully bright crochet scarf will lighten those winter days! Joining up tiny crochet squares is so easy, a kid's game and you'll just want to make more of these floppy scarves for your loved ones. So creative!

Supplies

Tools

Darning needle
Size 5 crochet hook.

Materials

4-ply yarn (thinner than the yarn used for making the squares).

Directions

Create approximatly 200 crochet squares. See how to make crochet squares.
Take all the crochet colour squares you have made, alternating the colours.

Start joining them by using the ladder stitch, following the step by step instructions.

Line the squares up row by row of 4 squares and thread your needle with some yarn.

Start to sew up the centre of the middle two rows of squares.

Take the square with the front side facing up. Put the needle through the right hand corner.

Take hold of the next square (in the next row) to the left. Take the needle up through the bar in the bottom right end side of the square.

Take your needle up and through the bar in the chain that is bottom right hand of your square.

Take your needle through and up the side of the chain on the edge of the next stitch of your right hand square (the first one you worked into).

Take your yarn up and through the edge of the chain stitch above the last one you went through in your second square.

Take your yarn up again and through the edge of the chain stitch.

Repeat the instructions along the sides of your squares until you reach the top of each side.

Follow the instructions to make the stitches invisible.

Take hold of the yarn hanging out the bottom of your "ladder", running up the middle of you two squares. Hold firmly and start pulling gently.

The ladder disappears.

Carry on joining the squares, repeating stages 1 to 5.

Do exactly what you did with the first two squares, until you get to the top of your next set of squares.

Pull to make the stitches invisible.

Make sure the bottom part of the yarn is held firmly in place.

This way, you have formed another row.

Here is how to put together a small section of the square scarf.

Start on the outer rows of the scarf.

Just follow stages 1 to 5 as you did in the middle row.

The scarf is four square wide and the outer squares are only sewn on one side.

To allow them to be flappy.

Start and finish with the middle two squares only.

Repeat stages 1 to 5, starting at the edge of the second square in.

Carry on to the edge of the next square, finishing there. Pulling to make the stitches invisible.

The scarf is complete with its flappy edges.
