A classic scarf is always on-trend, so for Day #7 of my 12 Days of Christmas I’m giving you a new pattern for one!
I chose Yarn Bee’s Feelin’ Chunky for my sample scarf (which I’m totally keeping for myself). Feelin’ Chunky is a #5 weight cotton yarn… and I know cotton doesn’t seem like the ideal winter choice, but I’m one of those people that is always too warm so I love the soft, cool feel of this yarn. But you can, of course, choose whatever chunky yarn you love most!
This scarf would also make a great men’s pattern, don’t you think? The texture really isn’t feminine at all. I love the three different colors of tassels because it’s a great opportunity to incorporate color into the scarf without it becoming too busy.

THE RHYLEE SCARF
View on Ravelry
Language: American Standard
Difficulty: Beginner / Easy
Finished Size: 64″ long x 9″ wide
Hook: L (8mm) or whichever hook is needed to obtain correct gauge
Yarn: Approx. 320 yards of Yarn Bee Feelin’ Chunky, or other similar #5 weight yarn (COLOR A). I used colorway “Dove”. You’ll also need 10 yards each of two additional colors (COLOR B and COLOR C) for the fringe. (These don’t necessarily need to be the same yarn.) I used Yarn Bee Feelin’ Chunky in “White” and Loops & Threads Charisma in “Blush Tweed.”
Gauge: 10 SC x 11 rows = 4″ square
Terms and Abbreviations:
ST/STS (stitch/stitches)
CH (chain)
SC (single crochet)
FLO (front loop only)
Notes:
(1) CH1s at the beginning of rows do not count as a stitch in the final stitch count.
(2) To change the length of your scarf, add to or subtract any number from your starting chain. To change the width, add to or subtract from the total number of rows. (Remember, increasing the size will increase the amount of yarn required.)
INSTRUCTIONS
To begin: With COLOR A, CH151.
Row 1: SC in 2nd CH from hook and in each remaining CH. (150)
Rows 2-24: CH1, turn. SC in first ST. SC in FLO across until 1 ST remains. SC in final ST. (150)
Fasten off and weave in all ends.
Adding the Fringe
For the fringe, I cut several 10″ strands of each of my three chosen colors. I attached them in groups of 4 at the end of each row, alternating between using 4 of color A (the main scarf color) and 2 each of colors B and C.
