What's the best crochet stitch for a scarf?

The best stitch for a scarf depends on the type of crochet fabric you want to create. In this free crochet scarf pattern we are using the Petal Web stitch to create a lacey, flowing fabric.

Are you hoping to make a thick, warm infinity scarf or cowl? More closed stitches like herringbone double crochet or the griddle stitch can work great.

But for a lightweight, lacy crochet scarf pattern that's more for style over warmth, stick to bigger, more open, lacy stitches. Using taller crochet stitches like double crochet (dc) and treble crochet (tr) create airy, feminine flowers, shells, or bobbles that together look and feel like lace.
