The houses at Hogwarts have a couple of different patterns of scarves, one with alternating chunks of color, and another with small bars of accent color. Good thing they're both easy to make.

ch = chain sc = single crochet

I suggest using Super Value Ranch Red and Gold. Mostly because they cost just a few bucks.

Scarf #1: The younger witches and wizards wear scarves with large chunks of color.

1. Start with red. ch 40 for a nice, thick scarf.

1. sc 12 rows of red
2. change color to gold yarn
3. sc 12 rows of gold
4. change color back to to red yarn
5. Repeat 2-5 until you've made your scarf as long as you like it. End the scarf with a 12 row sc of red so that the ends look the same.

Scarf #2: The Gryffindor scarf for older kids has a pattern of two small gold lines on a field of red. This free crochet pattern will show you how to make a quick and simple Gryffindor scarf.

Start with the red yarn.

1. ch 40 for a nice, thick scarf.
2. sc 12 rows of red
3. change color to gold yarn and sc 2 rows
4. sc two rows of red
5. sc two rows of gold again
6. Repeat 2-5 until you've made your scarf as long as you like it. End the scarf with a 12 row sc of red so that the ends look the same.

I chose a single crochet stitch so that the scarf has less gaps in it. You can also knit and felt a house scarf.
