• For the crochet star stitch scarf pattern, we will be working in rows.
• Foundation: Ch x27 (or more chains if making a wider scarf, just make sure it's an ODD amount of chains).
• Row 1: Start by inserting your hook into the second chain from the hook. Yarn over and pull up a loop. Then, insert your hook into the next chain, yarn over, and pull through. You should now have three loops on your hook. Repeat this for the next three chains until you have six loops on the hook.
• Once you have six loops on your hook, yarn over and pull through all six loops. Then, chain 1 to complete the star and create the "eye" in the center.
• Next, insert your hook into the "eye" you just made, yarn over, and pull through, leaving two loops on your hook. Then, insert your hook into the space between the two last "spikes" of the first star, yarn over, and pull through. This will give you three loops on your hook.
• Now, insert your hook into the same chain where you worked the last stitch of the previous star, yarn over, and pull through, so you have four loops on your hook. Insert your hook into the next chain, yarn over, and pull through. Repeat this in the following chain until you have six loops on your hook.
• Yarn over and pull through all six loops on the hook. Chain 1 to close the second star.
• Repeat these steps for the rest of the row.
• When you reach the end, finish by making 1 hdc in the last stitch. Then ch x2 and turn.
• Row 2: Crochet 2 hdc in the "eye" of each star across. Finish with 1 hdc in the last stitch. Then ch x2 and turn (23).
• Row 3: In blo, hdc the entire row (23). Then ch x2 and turn.
• Row 4: With regular hdc, hdc the entire row (23). Then ch x3 and turn.
• Row 5: Insert your hook into the second chain from the hook, yarn over, and pull through, repeat for the next chain, then continue to insert your hook, yarn over, and pull through in blo for the next 3 stitches until you have 6 loops on the hook. Then yarn over and pull through all 6 loops, then chain 1 to close the star. This creates the eye of the first star of this row.
• Make stars for the rest of the row just like row 2, but when inserting into stitches - do it in blo. Then at the end of the row make a hdc and then ch x2.
• Repeat Row 2 through 5 until your project is the length you want it. I made 143 rows for my scarf for reference.
• For a straight edge - feel free to crochet a sc edge along the raw edges (long side) for a cleaner finish, you can see how that looks in my finished scarf photos.

Scarf Fringe:

• For the fringe cut 92 x12 inch pieces of yarn in the same color yarn or a contrasting color.
• To attach the fringe to the crochet star stitch scarf, grab 2 pieces of yarn, then pinch the strands of yarn at the middle and make a loop, insert a hook into the short side of the scarf and pull the yarn through the bottom stitch.
• Then using your fingers take the ends of the fringe and loop them through the hole you made and pull tight.
• Repeat the above step for the entire width of the scarf. Repeat on the other side of the scarf. I put 1 group of fringe per stitch.
• After all the fringe is attached, trim the bottom so the yarn is nice and all lined up.
• And there you have it! The Crochet Star Stitch Scarf Pattern is not only a joy to make, but it’s also perfect for keeping you warm and stylish all winter long.
