How To Crochet Harry Potter Scarf

Materials Needed:
- Burgundy and gold yarn (4 ply yarn)
- 4 mm crochet hook
- Scissors
- Needle
- Patches (optional)
Begin with Burgundy Yarn:
- Start with a slip knot.
- Chain 30 stitches.
Row 1:
- Chain 1 more (total 31 chains).
- This additional chain will be considered your first half double crochet.
- Yarn over, insert your hook into the third chain from the hook, pull up a loop.
- Yarn over and pull through all three loops to make one half double crochet.
- Continue making one half double crochet in each of the remaining 30 chains.
Row 2:
- Turn your work without chaining.
- Make a standing stitch by placing two single crochets, one on top of the other, in the first stitch to act as the first half double crochet.
- Continue making half double crochets in each stitch across.
- Total of 30 half double crochet stitches, including the standing stitch.
Row 3 and beyond:
- Turn without chaining.
- Create the special turning stitch (two single crochets on top of each other in the first stitch).
- Continue making half double crochets across the row.
Color Changes:
- After completing 10 rows of burgundy, chain 1 and fasten off.
- Introduce the gold yarn by making a slip knot and joining it with a slip stitch.
- Create the standing stitch (two single crochets) and continue with 10 rows of half double crochets in gold.
- Alternate between 10 rows of burgundy and 10 rows of gold until your scarf is long enough.
Tassels:
- Wrap the yarn around your fingers 10 times to create loops.
- Cut the yarn and split the loops on one end to make strands.
- Fold the strands in half and use a larger crochet hook to pull the loops through the edge of the scarf.
- Create a knot by pulling the tails through the loops.
- Alternate colors between burgundy and gold for the tassels.
- Place tassels two stitches apart.
- Trim the tassels to make them even.
Sewing Patches (optional):
- Center the patch on the scarf.
- Use black thread and a needle to sew the patch.
- Sew by only catching the first layer of stitches to keep the back neat.
- Stitches should be neat and even, using matching thread to make it less visible.
