How to Make a Handmade Scarf: Popular Cute Designs (11–20)
Easy Cat-Pattern Scarf

If you love animals or are looking for a scarf suitable for children, we recommend the easy cat-pattern scarf.
Using melange yarn that blends two or more colors lets you create a scarf that looks warm and cozy.
Sew two colors of yarn together so they overlap.
When knitting the cat motif, the key is to pay attention to the ear height and the way you incorporate the pattern.
Finish by pressing the completed scarf with an iron to shape it, and you’re done! We also recommend wrapping the scarf so that the cat pattern sits prominently at the front.
wrist-knit scarf

This is a hand-woven scarf you can make without a sewing machine or needles.
Since you’ll be working with your hands, it’s best to choose yarn that’s as thick as possible.
First, leave a length of yarn about four forearms long, tie a knot, and slip it onto your right wrist.
Using the loop made with the thumb and index finger of your left hand, transfer loops onto your right hand until you have 8 stitches.
Next, pass one stitch from your right arm over the yarn and through the loop on your left hand.
When you’ve knitted to the desired length, bind off, cut the yarn with a long tail, and thread the end through the final loop.
Tuck in the starting and ending tails, and you’re done! This scarf is perfect for people who are handy with their fingers or don’t have tools at home.
Fluffy mohair mini scarf

Here’s an idea for a mini scarf made with mohair yarn.
You’ll use a hair elastic (the kind sold at 100-yen shops) as the base to crochet, so there are no knots, and by threading the end through the ring to secure it, you’ll get a compact, stylish scarf shaped like a snood.
The method is to make 50 stitches around the hair elastic as the center, then crochet 25 stitches—half of them.
Mohair yarn is thin and might seem daunting, but because you’ll be working treble crochet with every other stitch skipped, each stitch and row is large, making it easier to crochet than you’d expect!
Kids’ ribbed-style scarf

This is a ribbed-look scarf idea made by repeating double crochet and front/back post crochet with a hook.
If you’re new to crochet, you might think, “What is that?” and find it tricky, but it’s really just repeating the same steps: alternate double crochet with post stitches.
On the right side you work front post double crochet, and on the wrong side you work back post double crochet—the only difference is how you pick up the stitch on each side.
Because you use a thicker yarn and a larger hook, and the stitches are big and airy, it works up faster than you might expect!
Finger-knitted scarf

Even little kids can do this! Let’s make a scarf with finger knitting—no crochet hook needed! Run the yarn between your fingers as if you’re stitching, and once you’ve built up a bit, flip your palm over.
Then give the yarn end a tug and, like magic, the yarn that looked like a little bundle turns into a single rope! Repeat this process and you’ll end up with a scarf that children around preschool or kindergarten age can use with no trouble.
Think of it like a fun craft project and give it a try.
