Masculine Crochet Scarf Pattern

I made this Masculine Crochet Scarf Pattern with my husband in mind. Although I call it masculine, it's a perfect scarf for any gender.

Stitch Creation: The Celtic weave stitch is created using a mixture of double crochets and triple crochets in front post and back post.
Skill Level: The masculine crochet scarf pattern is best for intermediate to advanced crocheters. The placement of stitches can be tricky, as well as making the back post and front post triple crochets.
Finished Size: The finished size is roughly 8 inches wide and 5.5 feet long, make more or less rows to adjust the length of the scarf.

Ch x28 (or any multiple of 4)
Row 1: Starting in the 3rd ch from the hook, make a dc. Continue making dc stitches for the rest of the row (26).
Ch x2 and turn.
Row 2: This is the right side of the scarf.
Dc in the next stitch.
* Skip 2 stitches, then fptr into the next 2 stitches.
Fptr into the FIRST skipped stitch, then fptr into the NEXT skipped stitch.
Repeat from * until you have 1 stitch left.
Dc in the last stitch (26). Then ch x2 and turn.
Row 3: This is the wrong side of the scarf.
Dc in the next stitch.
Bpdc in the next 2 stitches. Then * Skip 2 stitches, then bptr into the next 2 stitches.
Bptr into the FIRST skipped stitch, then Bptr into the NEXT skipped stitch (this can be tricky).
This is what it should look like from the "right" side of the scarf after completing the first 5 stitches in the row.
Repeat from * until you have 3 stitches left.
Bpdc in the next 2 stitches and then a dc stitch in the last available stitch in the row.
Then ch x2 and turn.
Repeat row 2 and 3 for the rest of scarf length.
This is what it looks like after 7 total rows.
After making your desired scarf length, make 1 last row of hdc into every stitch (26). Fasten off and weave in the ends.

For the fringe cut 52 12-inch pieces of yarn.
*Grab 1 piece 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 from * for both short sides of the scarf. After all the fringe is attached, trim the bottom so the yarn is lined up.
If you need a more in-depth tutorial for the fringe, check out my crochet heart scarf pattern and scroll down to the bottom of the pattern. It has a few photos to explain the process, just keep in mind that scarf uses 2 yarns for each fringe, not 1.
Once you are done with the fringe your Celtic weave scarf made from my crochet scarf pattern is done! I hope you enjoyed this pattern inspired by my husband :)
