I love my long crochet scarves
Crochet scarves have made a huge comeback lately, especially those super long ones that you can wrap around your neck a few times.
They’re perfect for those chilly days when you need something cozy but don’t want to commit to a bulky winter coat.
What’s cool is how versatile they are—you can dress them up or down, and they work with pretty much any outfit.
Plus, if you’re into making stuff yourself, they’re a great beginner project since you’re basically just doing the same stitch over and over.
The repetitive motion is actually pretty relaxing once you get into it, and before you know it, you’ve got this gorgeous handmade accessory that’ll last for years.

Instructions
Foundation chain: ch 180 +1 st
R1: Hdc 1 in 2nd ch from hook, hdc 1 in every ch across to end of row, ch 1 and turn your work.
R2 + 3:Hdc 1 in 1st st from hook, now we will make a special HDC – if you look at your stitch you see the V top of the stitch- look at the loop beneath the V it is called the 3rd loop. It is in front of the stitch- this is where you will yo and make your Hdc- so it makes the fabric more textured and reveals a line on each row- now 3rd loop hdc on each stitch from the prev row to the end.
R4: Ch 4 ( counts as 1st st+ch space,) dc in 3rd st from hook, ch1, skip 1, dc1, and so on across to end or row- You should have windows all across; turn
R5: Ch 1 and hdc in 1st st from hook, hdc 1 in ch space, hdc 1 on dc from prev row, hdc 1 in ch space and so on 1 hdc in every st across to end of row. Count your stitches to ensure you have the same amount from the start. turn work
R6: Now we will make the sPUFF st. It is very simple: ch1, sc in first st from hook, tr in next st, sc in next st, tr in next st, sc in next ,and so on across to the end of row- 1 tr, 1sc. This gives us the simple puff stitch- finish with a sc turn work
