Just made this using bulky #6. I love it! Thanks for the great video instructions!
@paulalaguaite1644 thank you so much for watching! I'm glad it was helpful 🥰
Just finished mine. I did it with bernat super bulky yarn so I decided to not do the last 3 rows. But it came out so nice! Thank you for sharing this video!
Awesome! Thank you so much for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed it! 🥰
I just love the scarf and hat tutorials. So very helpful and I’m working on a adult 2nd set. I hope to be able to modify it down to a toddler size for a special little girl on my list.
You are awesome and thank you for these fantastic patterns.
I'm so happy you enjoyed them! Thank you for such kind words. I have made these for all ages, I can't remember the exact stitch counts, but I'm sure you can modify with ease 🥰
This is the first crochet instruction video I've seen where the finished product is not shown on camera. Yes... there's a thumbnail shot of a fellow wearing it but that's no substitute for seeing the actual scarf.
This was one of my very first videos and I was so new to it all. I had a lot to learn. Sorry about that. I have done better this year 🥰
@@creationsmisfit Thanks for the reply. Made me recall some of my "firsts" in many things. The silver lining is that some of us learn from the experience and "do better this year." Keep up the good work.
@@rae0521 thank you so much! Yes, do better when we know better 🥰
Hi, I just finished the scarf! Thank you for such an easy-to-follow tutorial! I haven't crocheted in about 20 years, and started up again to keep from snacking during the cold weather. Really needed a creative outlet during the pandemic, and this was it! Now for the fringe...
I'm so glad you found the tutorial helpful! Thank you so much for letting me know! It's a great addiction, isn't it? I find myself crocheting for 12-14 hours some days 😅
Dude this is dope. I made my first ever yarn thing to this. Definitely love it. Thank you for making it so simple. Made me feel confident about crocheting even though I'm a dude.
Thanks again
Awesome you're so welcome! I'm glad I could help. Check out the other tutorials on my channel. I'd say 95% are beginner friendly!
@@creationsmisfit I have been, don't worry, love your work. I'm working on some scarfs for some good friends.
@@recentrogue you're awesome, thank so much!
This is a great pattern for men just love it. Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it 🥰
Very helpful. Thank you so much for sharing and taking time to make this tutorial.
I'm so glad it was helpful, thank you for your comment! ❤️
Great scarf pattern
Thank you for watching! 🥰
I made this for my brother. Came out nice. Ty
Thank you for letting me know, Bonnie! I'm so glad it was helpful 🥰
Oh my goodness absolutely beautiful I love this thank you so very much brilliant tutorial. Very luxurious scarf love ❤
I'm so glad you like it! Thank you so much for the comment 🥰
@@creationsmisfit you are so welcome ☺
Very clear and easy to follow I didn’t see how many skeins it took though?
Thank you! I believe I used about 270-290 yards for this one 🥰
Thanks for taking the time to showin7us your skills!! Love this pattern, can we use this pattern on a size 4 yarn?
Thank you so much!! Yes you can use size 4. It just won't be as wide or bulky. If you'd like it to be the size of the scarf in the tutorial, you can hold two strands of size 4 together at the same time and it will be nice and thick! Thank you for watching! 🥰
Loved it. My scarf came out beautiful!
I'm so happy it worked out, Jill! Thank you for letting me know 🥰
Hey Jaime, I realize it’s been a hot minute since we’ve talked. I wanted to give you a HUGE thank you! 🙏🏼 Because of your helpfulness & dedication I’ve succeeded with 2 pairs of mittens & 2 hats for the granddaughter’s. 3 of the scarves in this video for my son, hubby & my dad (WOW, my son’s was a bit tricky due to the yarn I chose). Also 4 of your slouchy hats (one is for myself), my daughter and a couple of friends. I can’t thank you enough! You made this Christmas happen in our family as I’m still very sick and have bronchial pneumonia atm, just to add a cherry 🍒 on top. So I can’t shop unless online & God knows I have enough yarn 🤣 Gotta have a lotta faith & humor to get through it all. I pray you and yours have the BEST OF HOLIDAYS sweetie!! 🥰♥️🥰♥️
❤❤❤ sending you so much love and lots of good wishes for swift healing. Thank you so much for all of your kind words and I'm incredibly happy that I could help in any way. You are such a wonderful person for making all of these items for your family through all that you're dealing with. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Sending you lots of love!! 🥰🥰
@@creationsmisfit Much love right back atcha! 💕♥️💕♥️
Great pattern! Almost done with it and it looks great!! Thank you.
I'm so glad you like it! Thank you for commenting and letting me know 🥰

This looks like a great set for men! Thank you ❤️
Thank you so much! 💗
Thanks for the tutorial about the Stitch. I have watch a couple of your videos. You teach well, and move at a good pace that's easy to follow. I understand that you may be a little self-conscious about the use of your thumbs. I personally find it fascinating. I reduced the playback speed in order to see what you were doing. I think the way that you use your thumbs is actually very efficient, and possibly an improvement on the way most of us were taught to crochet. You use your thumbs to actually control the yarn tension as you worki the pull throughs for the crochet stitch. The benefit of using your thumb like that is that possibly, you reduce the amount of work that your other fingers are doing. The upside of this is that by spreading out the work amongst more groups of muscles, I think, that you're less likely to strain, and develop repetitive motion problems in your hands. I'm not any kind of medical person. That's just my thought about it. The other thought I have is that perhaps you could teach people how to crochet in that way. If one has developed repetitive problems, or even another condition like arthritis, learning a different way of crocheting might allow people to start crocheting. those conditions have led people to give up the hobby because of problems with their fingers and hands. Anyway just a few thoughts. I'm actually going to try doing it your way. The more options the better. Anyway, I hope that helps. We're all unique.
Thank you so much!! This was such a kind message to receive and you're absolutely right. I can crochet for 12 hours at a time and never feel any strain in my hand or wrist. When I try to do it without my thumb, I feel an extra strain in a short period of time. Maybe I started subconsciously using my thumb to navigate away from that. Thank you so much for the insight and sweet words. I'm so happy you are enjoying my tutorials! 🥰
Hi, I just found you and subscribed. Thank you for this tutorial, I've just finished the scarf and hat as a Christmas present for my son. It was so easy to follow your instructions 😊 Karen in the UK x
Karen, you just made my morning. Thank you so much for the sweet message. I am thrilled that my tutorials were helpful! Have a wonderful Christmas! 🥰
would be nice to see a sample of the stitch at the beginning.
Hi, yes I'm sorry. This was one of my first videos and I still had a lot to learn! I've tried to do a better job since then. 🥰
I must have missed the part that mentioned his many rows or inches wide.
One more thing, its easier when working your first row to work in back bump.
Hi, each row is shown on the tutorial, so after that the scarf is finished. I just did a small sample, but in the beginning I talked about how many chains for length, which is ultimately up to you. I did 160 for mine. And yes, sometimes I go into the back bump, but this was one of my first videos and I wanted to make it as easy as possible for myself and those watching. Beginners sometimes have trouble with the back bump. Thank you for watching!
@@creationsmisfit Guess I was not clear on # if rows for width. Thanks
@nancytowers4094 no problem, if you follow along I do show each row needed. I also have a written pattern on Etsy if that's easier. I hope this helps! www.etsy.com/listing/776146303/

Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful pattern. If I wanted to make it shorter what are the multiples for the chain? Thank you.
@@carolabecker8219 thank you! You can actually do any amount of chains that you'd like. It won't affect the pattern at all. As long as you're keeping the width the same 🥰
@@creationsmisfit thanks so much!
@@carolabecker8219 you're very welcome!
Nice pattern! And easy project!! Any chance of seeing the completed scarf in addition to the swatch?
Thank you so much! I think I have a few photos of it. Are you on Facebook? Send me a dm please and I will send them 🥰
@@creationsmisfit Ok I was able to grab a screenshot of the thumbnail and blow it up. I'm half-way through and I love it!! *Thank you for sharing your talent and gift with us.*
@@linedanzer4302 oh good, please let me know if you need any other pics. I'm so glad you like it! 💗
Very Nice! Thank you!
Thank you for the comment! 🥰
Thanks for your easy to follow instructions, you make feel like a pro!! How much yarn does a scarf like this need?
Oh I'm so happy to hear it was helpful for you! I used about 290 yards of super bulky (6) yarn for this one.
I do the same thing you do with your thumb but I use my index finger.
I'm glad I'm not the only one! I didn't think much of it until I really started filming and seeing how extra it is 😅
Mine is curving, so I just have to work on my tension?
That could be it. Also be sure to count your stitches and make sure you have the same number for each row!
How much yarn do you use or is one skein enough?
Hi, I used about 290 yards of super bulky (size 6) yarn for this. You could use any size yarn you'd like, but will need more for smaller yarn sizes.
@@creationsmisfit ty for all your help..
@@suelashley1434 you're very welcome! Thank you for watching 😊
Good video but volume needs to be higher
Hi, thank you for watching! This was one of my first videos, so I was still learning, but they've gotten better since 😅
