Stitches Used

• Chain Stitch (ch) – The foundational stitch used to create the base of the scarf
• Double Crochet (dc) – A mid-height stitch created by yarning over the hook, inserting into a stitch, drawing yarn through, and completing two separate yarn-over-and-pull-through sequences to finish the stitch
• Treble Crochet (tr) – A taller stitch executed by yarning over the hook twice before insertion, creating four loops on the hook that are worked down through multiple yarn-over-and-pull-through steps

Materials and Tools

Yarn: The pattern calls for approximately 282 grams (10 ounces / 770 yards / 705 meters) of DK weight yarn (also classified as light worsted or #3 weight). The recommended yarn is 100% acrylic, making this an affordable and easy-care project.

Crochet Hook: A 4 mm crochet hook is required. This corresponds to US size G/6, UK/Canada size 8, or Japan size 7.
