Chunky Granny Scarf Tutorial...

I was thinking...
It has been ages since I did a tutorial...
And with Autumn here and Winter getting closer in the Southern Hemisphere...

It was just the right time for a warm and chunky Granny Scarf...
So here it is!!!

Oh... almost forgot...Written in English terms
with american term in brackets...

Chunky Granny Scarf

Get your extra large Crochet Hook out (Size 7)
and some very chunky wool (20 ply)
and we shall start...

Chunky Granny Scarf

Chain 165...
1 tr(dc) in 6 th ch from hook...


* Miss one ch.
1 tr(dc) in next ch...
1 ch...*


Repeat * - * to last tr(dc)...
1 tr(dc) in last tr(dc) at end.


4 ch...
Turn work over to wrong side.


* 1 tr(dc) in next tr(dc), 1 ch...*

Repeat * - * to last tr(dc)...
1 tr(dc) in last tr(dc)


4 ch...Turn work to right side...


3 tr(dc) in next tr(dc)...

3 tr(dc) in next tr(dc)...*

Repeat * - *  till one tr(dc) remaining.
1 ch, 1 tr(dc) in last tr(dc)...

4 ch...


turn work over to wrong side...


The next part may be tricky for beginners so there are a few pictures...

* In top of next tr(dc) Start 1 tr(dc) but only until you have 2 loops on your hook left.


leave these 2 loops on your hook.
and work another tr(dc) in next tr (dc) until you have 3 loops left on hook...


leave these 3 loops on your hook.
and work another tr(dc) in next tr (dc) until you have 4 loops left on hook...


Yarn over hook and pull through all 4 loops.
3 ch...Miss 1 ch space *...  


Repeat  from * - *
to last tr(dc) group at end. Omitting the last 3 chs...


1 ch, 1 tr(dc) in last tr(dc)...


4 ch...turn work over to right side...


1 tr(dc) in top of tr(dc)group, 1 ch, 
1 tr(dc) in middle ch of 3 ch group from previous round...


* 1 ch, 1 tr(dc) in top of tr(dc) group, 1 ch, 
1 tr(dc) in middle ch of 3 ch group from previous round...*
Repeat * - * to last tr(dc) group.
1 tr(dc) in top of last tr(dc) group,
1 ch, 1 tr(dc) in last tr...


 4 ch...Turn work over to wrong side...

    Lovely scarf! It's spring here, so I'll have to keep it on the back burner for a few months... it's all summer cottons here for a while :) Thanks for posting the pattern!

    What a lovely tutorial again. Since I'm on the opposite side of the globe from you, I might use it for a delicate summer scarf with really thin cotton.... Love it anyhow!
    And the cute cottage from your last post too! I'd like to make a whole village of those... Enjoy your weekend, X Floortje

    I'm in Australia so this tutorial is perfect timing for me. I have been thinking about getting a scarf going without really knowing where to start. Thank-you for explaining everything so clearly, and for sharing your crafty goodness with us all! :)

    This is the first scarf I've crocheted. I've made hats and purses using similar stitches so it went really fast. Well written pattern and photo tutorial. Thanks for sharing! Fun and fast patterns like these give me the confident to keep crocheting.
    I used medium weight yarn because I can't buy chunky yarn in my town. I also used an H hook. Thanks from North Carolina, USA.
    Here are photos of my attempt.

    Love the scarf! I'm hooked on all types of Granny square, too! Today, in Texas, USA it will be 106 with a heat index over 108...needless to say I will not need this scarf for some time! Can't wait to make it anyway! Thanks again from Texas, USA!

    Your tutorials are so easy to follow! Thank you so much! I LOVE this scarf, but I want to make it longer, in order to do so, do I need to increase by multiples of 3? Or...? Thank you!

    Nice design, but I'd like to be able to print a version with just the written directions (to save paper and printing costs).

    I had some chunky yarn given to me and I made it into the 5th row before I ran out of yarn. Your step by step instructions were great. I am a beginner and it came out just like yours. I am not sure I like the chunky yarn as the scarf seems very heavy. I am going to try it with some lighter yarn because I love the pattern and it works up so easy.

    Thank you for the time and effort it took to make this tutorial. Can't wait to try it again.

    I'm needing something fun to do in the hospital in a couple of weeks. Knee replacement. I'll make three, for my three granddaughters.

    I am going to teach a beginning crochet class and I wondered if I could use your pattern to teach the class. I tried to email you, but the link to email did not work for me.
    my email is beaudi414@yahoo.com
    I would of course give full credit to you for your pattern and direct the students to your blog.
    Thanks for your consideration.
