Brother's Scarf - Pattern

I made a simple scarf for my brother for Christmas, then used the same pattern to make one for my father. I used super bulky yarn for my brother's and bulky yarn for my father's. I used different colors and a different stripe pattern for each of them. I know that there are so many patterns out there for scarves, especially easy ones, but I decided to put this one up anyway. There are so many ways to personalize this scarf. I'm just going to put the basic pattern first then put notes on the stripe pattern I did for my brother's as an example.



Materials
Bulky or Super Bulky yarn
N (9 mm) Hook
Yarn Needle

Abbrevations
ch - chain
hdc - half double crochet
dc - double crochet

ch 15
Row 1 - hdc in second ch from hook, hdc in each ch across, turn (13 sts)
Row 2 - ch 2, dc in each st, turn (13 sts)
*Repeat row 2 until desired length, for scarf shown approx. 72 rows*
Last Row - ch 2, hdc in each st, turn, sl st across to finish.
