If you made it with the rows widthwise, just unravel the rows to the lenth you want.
If you made the rows lenghwise, you’ll have to redo the entire thing. You might just want to leave it and see if it’s too long after you drape it around your neck once or twice. It might be fine the way it is.
It should be easy to unravel it down to the length you want it. Crochet only has one live stitch so just unravel to the point you want an secure the last stitch by pulling the yarn through it. If it is already tied off you might have to snip the yarn near the end to get it raveling.
If there is no pattern design or sequence of color that is even on
both ends, you need only unravel from the end to the length that you want it to be. However, if there is a design on each end you need to unravel until what you have left will form an acceptable even pattern and add the finishing end part (i.e. fringe) again.
Fold the scarf in half and sew up the edges, then crochet a little scallop or picot around so it looks like it was meant to be crocheted like that.
