The Yarn
To crochet this scarf I used Lion Brand Color Made Easy.
It’s a 100 % Acrylic yarn with yarn weight Bulky. What I love the most about this yarn is all the color options. For this scarf I picked the color “Shade”, but it wasn’t easy to pick a favorite.
If you liked their discontinued yarn Woolspun, this has a similar feel.

A GREAT LAST MINUTE CHRISTMAS GIFT CROCHET PROJECT
What I love especially about this scarf is the fact that it works up super quick. If I have to guess, I’d say 1-4 hours, depending on how fast you crochet.
That also makes it a great last minute crocheted Christmas gift.

How Long Does It Take To Crochet That?
How long it takes to crochet something varies depending on your skill & how fast you crochet. But that isn’t a helpful answer is it?
Well, I’ve developed a yarn calculator to help you get the answer to this question.
It will help you calculate exactly how much time you’ll spend crocheting a project.
All you need to know is how much yarn you will use on the project in either meters, yards or skeins. Then crochet your test square & time it.
Calculate how long it takes to crochet that.

Stitches You Will Need
FOUNDATION SINGLE CROCHET STITCH (FSC):
Written description:
Step 1: Ch 2 st.
Step 2: Insert hook into 2nd ch from hook, pull up a loop. Yo and pull through first loop (making “chain”). Yo and pull through both loops on hook.
Step 3: Insert hook into previous “chain” you made (It should look like you go through a resemblance of a “normal” st, with 2 strands of yarn), pull up a loop, yo and pull through first loop (making “chain”). Yo and pull through both loops on hook.
Repeat step 3 until you’ve made enough stitches. *2nd ch in step 1 makes 1 st, step 2 makes 1 st & every time step 3 is repeated you make 1 st.
Tutorial:
Foundation Single Crochet Stitch
TUNISIAN DOUBLE CROCHET (Tdc):
Yo, insert hook in next stitch, yo and pull up a loop, yo, pull through 2.
Each time you repeat, you’ll add 1 extra loop on the hook.
Techniques You Will Need
STANDARD TUNISIAN RETURN (return):
Yo, pull through 1, *yo, pull through 2*, repeat from *to* until you have 1 loop on the hook.
WHERE IS THE FRONT VERTICAL BAR?
After crocheting the first return pass, you should be able to see distinct vertical bars. One in the front of the work (the front vertical bar) & one in the back (the back vertical bar).
Crochet Calidi Scarf Pattern Instructions
Make 132 stitches wit the FSC method.
*Always start the first stitch on each row in the second front vertical bar.
All stitches are made in the front vertical bar of the stitch, except the first & final row.
Row 1: Ch 1 (counts as 1st st), Tdc 1 in each FDC across, return (=132 st).
Row 2: Ch 1 (counts as 1st st), Tdc 1 in each st across, return (=132 st).
Row 3-10: Repeat row 2.
Row 11: Ch 1 (counts as 1st st), sl st 1 between each st across to make final edge even.
Fasten off & cut yarn.
Finishing
Fasten threads & weave in ends.
When crocheting this scarf the fabric created turned quite rolled. I decided that I liked the look & that’s why I suggest you don’t block it.
Each row also ended up slightly diagonal, which again I decided to embrace as a part of the design.
If you want a more standard flat look with straight edges, then blocking is necessary.
