How do you add fringe to a crochet scarf?
How long should Fringe be on a crocheted scarf?
Length of Fringe I generally make my fringe tassels between 3 to 4 inches long for most scarves, shawls, and sweaters. If I use bulky or extra bulky yarn, I might make them 5 to 6 inches long. For pillows, I would suggest adding shorter tassels – 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches long.

What crochet stitch is best for a scarf?
1. Single Crochet. Single crochet is the simplest stitch in all of crochet, but that doesn’t mean it can’t hold its own in a scarf. It’s great for relaxing stitching, and because it makes a somewhat dense fabric, you can go up a hook size or two to give your scarf some drape.
How do you finish a scarf edge?
A hand-rolled hem is a perfect way to finish the edge of a scarf. Machine-stitch 1/2″ in from the cut edge of the fabric. Trim close to the stitching, working a few inches at a time as you hand roll the edge. Trimming too much may allow the fabric to ravel before it is rolled.

How many chains do you need to crochet a scarf?
If you’re using a medium-width yarn, each chain will be about 1/4 inch. If you want your scarf to be 5 inches wide, then that would be 20 chains. For a thinner yarn, it might be 1/8 inch wide per chain, so you’d want to double that to 40 chains. If it’s a really chunky yarn, you could probably do 10-12 chains.
