To make this criss-cross scarf, you'll need:

One ball of yarn. The yarn in the instructions has different colors along its length, like an oil painting. The colors you see might be different in different parts of the yarn, and there might be a join or a knot in the middle of it.
A crochet hook that is four millimeters thick.
A sewing needle with a large eye (buckle sewing needle).
You'll also need to know some basic crochet steps. The instructions show you how to do these:

Starting: Find the end of your yarn. Make a slipknot (a special kind of knot to start crocheting). Put your hook through the loop and pull it tight.
Holding the yarn: The instructions show one way to hold the yarn with your left hand, wrapping it around your little finger, picking it up with your index finger, and holding the end with your thumb and middle finger. If you're new to this, make sure the yarn isn't twisted.

Chain stitch: Put your hook over the yarn, then pull the yarn through the loop on your hook. You need to make sixteen of these chain stitches. When you make the second chain, don't pull it too tight.

Marking: Put a little clip or marker on the first chain you made and another on the fifteenth chain. This helps you keep track of your work.

Slip stitch: This is used to turn your work around. The instructions say to put your hook over the yarn and then pull it through the loop on your hook.

Making a knot: You'll need to tie a knot in the yarn to keep your work secure.
Short stitch (Single crochet): This stitch is used to connect the two parts of the scarf. You put your hook through the loops, so you have two loops on your hook, then pull the yarn through both loops at the same time.

Bobble/Puff stitch: The instructions call this a "medium-long needle's date-shaped stitch." Basically, you wrap the yarn around your hook, put your hook into the stitch, and pull up a loop (do this a few times without finishing the stitch). Then, you wrap the yarn around your hook again and pull it through all the loops on your hook at once.
Lock stitch (Chain one): After you finish a bobble stitch, you need to make one chain stitch to secure it.
Joining new yarn: The instructions will show you how to join a new piece of yarn if you find a knot in your current yarn. You'll need to leave a longer end of the old yarn and the new yarn and then tie them together in a tight knot.
