I used a piece of cardboard (3cm X 10cm) since I don't have a broomstick crochet pin. You can simply make one too.
Start with a slip knot and then do 35 chains, or a multiple of 5- why? it'll be clear in the next few steps, don't worry. No matter how many chains you make just make sure it's a multiple of a fixed number, it's better to keep the number from 4-7
After you're done making the chains use the crochet hook to pull out the last chain stitch. Remove the hook from the loop and get the last chain through the cardboard piece. Pull the loose end of the yarn to tighten the loop with the cardboard piece.
Insert the hook into the next chain stitch, wrap the yarn over the hook and yarn through the chain. Now you have a chain on the hook, pull it out, remove it from the hook and get it through the cardboard piece. Once the cardboard piece is filled with loops carefully get them out. Use every chain stitch for making the loops and make sure that the number of loops is a multiple of 5 or a multiple of the fixed number you choose.
Insert the hook into the first 5 loops and consider these 5 loops as a group. Now, wrap the yarn over the hook and yarn through the group of 5 loops, again yarn over and chain 1 at the top. The 5 loops are now joined together with the first single crochet, Now, do 4 more single crochet at the top center of the group. Don't forget to do 5 single crochet at the top center of each group, because you have to keep the number fixed. There! the first broomstick crochet is done.
Don't remove the hook from the yarn and go for the next 5 loops (consider them as the 2nd group). Similarly, wrap the yarn over the hook and yarn through the 2nd group and do 5 single crochet at the top center of the 5 loops to join them together.
Keep doing the same until you reach the end of the row.
You're done making the first row of broomstick crochet? now simply pull out the last chain with the hook and get it through the cardboard piece. Insert the hook into the next chain stitch, yarn through the chain and fill the cardboard piece with loops like the previous one.
Make sure to keep the number of loops fixed, I made 35 loops and chains every time. Carefully pull the loops out of the cardboard when you're done.
Now do the second row of broomstick crochet.
Keep crocheting until the scarf reaches its required length.
Add tassels at the both ends. Done, enjoy!
