Crochet Scarf patterns are a bit more difficult than say Crochethat patterns but like all crocheting there are a great manypatterns available in a great many styles and levels.
Personally I feel if you are about to attempt a scarf then youare no longer a total beginner and perhaps have already done a hator two.
Having mastered the basic slip stitch you may be ready to testyourself against a more challenging pattern.
It is a good idea just to do some preparation and planning,nothing complex just those simple things which seem very obviousbut those we often forget.
Check what you need, some patterns may require an item you didnot need to begin this will be in the pattern.
Also the pattern should tell you how much wool you need; Isuggest you make sure you can get in all from the same batch toensure consistency in colour.
Most Crochet Scarf patterns will tell you the size of thefinished scarf; just do a quick measure to see if it is suitablefor the person you are planning the scarf for.
Make sure you understand the symbols and language in thepatterns as this can sometimes have slightly differentinterpretations.
What is the Scarf for, a present if so when is it needed makesure you don't pick a long complicated scarf which is going to takeyou beyond your target date.
In the past of course it was common to be taught Crocheting by afamily member, this dying tradition may not apply so make surethere is a forum or contact section where you obtained the patternto help if you get stuck.
Many people are selling their scarf's on e bay etc, if this isyour intention then do some basic costs and ask yourself not justabout how much the materials cost but how long it will take you andwhat your time is worth. Crocheting may not be the most lucrativehobby as price comparisons will be made with inferior factoryproduced scarfs.
If you take these simple planning steps you should be able toconcentrate on your Crochet Scarf Pattern and produce the perfectgift for family or friend.
Again just look at the difficulty and make sure you are keepingto those Crochet Scarf Patterns in your skill level as this willsave a lot of frustration and ensure you enjoy your hobby as youbuild up your skills.
