Go-To Skinny Scarf - Free Pattern

This pattern is my go-to pattern for charity scarves that I love to pieces. It looks wonderful in a solid color, but doesn't work to well with multiple colors. I will be coming up with a different version of this same pattern that is worked in the round, so stay tuned for that pattern!
 
Materials:
Size K crochet hook
Soft yarn (medium weight)
Sewing needle

Gauge:
Initial chain should measure around 65 inches. If needed, add multiples of 4 to pattern to increase size

Special Stitches:
Dc3tog: Double Crochet 3 together- yarn over, insert hook into first chain, yarn over, draw yarn through stitch, draw yarn through 2 loops on hook, insert hook into second chain, yarn over, draw yarn through stitch, draw yarn through 2 loops on hook, insert hook into third chain, yarn over, draw yarn through stitch, draw yarn through 2 loops on hook (at this point you should have 3 partial double crochet stitches completed, and you should have 4 loops on your hook), draw yarn through all 4 loops on hook.
