Easy Crochet Scarf Pattern, Diamond in the Rough Scarf

Easy Scarf Crochet Pattern- make in just one and a half hours!

This simple crochet scarf is a simple one-row repeat after you get past the first two rows. This will make a great project for last-minute gifts.

The stitch looks a little like the bean stitch but is far easier to work. It also has the much-needed drape for a scarf as opposed to the dense fabric of the bean stitch.

I really love this stitch and want to design a matching hat for this scarf. Maybe I should add a pair of fingerless mittens to complete the set. What do you think?

The original pattern was written for chunky yarn but I figured a lot of people would love it in worsted weight yarn too. So I am including that option as well.

Row 1: SHD across 3rd and 4th ch from hook, *(ch 1, SHD over next 2 ch), repeat from * across to last ch, ch 1, 1 sc in last ch, turn. See Stitch Explanation above to learn how to work an SHD. ——4 (5, 5)SHD and 1 sc st

Keep repeating row 3 until your scarf is 40(55, 76) inches long. See how to join a new skein of yarn below.

If you want to customize the size of your scarf, a good rule of thumb is to make it as long as the height of the person.

How to join a new skein of yarn

Joining a new skein while working your last sc: Start working the sc as usual and when you have 2 loops left on your hook, YO and pull through the new skein of yarn.

Joining a new skein while working an SHD: Start the SHD as usual and once you have 4 loops on your hook, YO and pull through the new skein of yarn.

Finishing

Weave in any tails left.

Easy Scarf Pattern- Worsted Weight Version

Choose to make the scarf in a solid worsted weight yarn or use a lovely self-striping yarn for a completely different look.

2. K(6.5mm) hook

3. Tapestry needle to weave in the ends.

Finished Sizes

4 to 5 Years – 5 inches wide and 40 inches long

6 to 10 Years– 6 inches wide and 60 inches long

Woman– 6 inches wide and 76 inches long

Crochet Pattern

To make this same scarf in a worsted weight yarn, ch 17 (21, 21) and follow the same pattern for the chunky scarf above using a K(6.5mm) hook. Your stitch count at the end of the rows will be 8(9, 9)SHD+1 sc st

Adding Fringes

Note– I added fringes to the worsted weight version as a finishing touch. You should factor in the length of your fringe while deciding on the final length of your scarf.

Wrap the yarn multiple times around a small book. Cut along one edge to get yarn strands of equal length.

Take 2 strands at a time, fold the middle, pull the fold through the edge of the scarf, grab all 4 strands with your hook and pull through the loop formed. Repeat to attach more fringes along the base of the scarf.
