This is a fun and beginner friendly crochet project you can try out in a weekend.

Chain stitch as many chains as you want till it reaches the required length of the scarf.
You'll need a piece of cardboard or anything that's hard enough or doesn't bend easily. I used a piece of cardboard (3cm X 10cm). When you're done making the chains use the hook to pull out the last chain stitch (loop) about an inch.
Remove the hook from the loop and get it 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 loop on the hook, pull it out carefully, remove it from the hook and get it through the cardboard piece.
Once the cardboard piece is filled with loops carefully get them out of the cardboard piece. Keep making loops until you reach the end of the chain.
You'll need to make 2 laces, as you can see I've made an orange and a blue one.
You have to make sure that the laces are of equal length, the number of chains won't vary much if the lengths are equal. If the chains are not equal in number you can adjust them easily. Place both laces with their loops facing towards each other, Insert hook into 4 loops (1st loops) of any one lace. Again, insert the hook into 4 loops (2nd loops) of the other lace and draw them through the first 4 loops (see picture)
Now, insert the hook into the 2nd loops as shown in the picture and again insert it through the next 4 loops of the other lace and draw them through the 2nd loops, this will create a braided pattern. Keep doing the same until you reach the end. At the end use yarn and hook to make a slip stitch.
Now that you've attached both laces together it's time to increase the width of the scarf. You'll need the cardboard piece again, Insert the hook into the first or last chain of any one of the completed laces. Take a new yarn, wrap it over the hook and draw through the chain. Now, you'll have a loop in your hook, Pull the loop out, remove it from the hook and get it through the cardboard piece like we've done for the previous ones.
Make another lace like the orange and blue one and attach it with the 3rd row of loops.
Here is how the scarf looks like after attaching 4 laces. I attached 10 laces.
After attaching 10 crochet laces.
Attach tassels at the end to complete the scarf. Enjoy!
