CROCHET SCARF – Free crochet pattern (US terms)

CROCHET SCARF – Free crochet pattern (US terms)

Posted on by Hege Espeland Lygre - HELdesign

I designed this pattern last year, when I was asked by Tusen Ideer to participate in an annual charity case here in Norway, hosted by Kirkens Bymisjon. Each year thousands of people across our country knit or crochet homemade orange scarves, which are being handed out to homeless people on November 1st.

Use my pattern to make a crochet scarf for someone who really needs it, for someone you care about, for someone you don´t care about or just for yourself. Either way I hope you enjoy it 🙂

DESIGN AND PATTERN:  Hege Espeland Lygre
Please read the Terms of use for my crochet patterns.

  • Wool yarn – compatible with crochet hook 5 mm (H/8).
  • Crochet Hook – 7 mm (two sizes up to make the scarf softer and looser)

  • YO (yarn over)
  • st (stitch)
  • ch sp (chain space)
  • R (row/round)

Special stitch:

  • Puff stitch: YO (photo 1), insert hook in ch sp and pull up loop (photo 2) = 3 st, YO, insert hook in same ch sp, pull up loop (photo 3) = 5 st.

  • Turn your work at the end of each row and start every new row with 3 ch (counts as the first dc).
    Watch video – how to start a new row.

PATTERN

Ch 37

R1: 1 dc in 4th ch from hook, 1 dc in each of next 3 ch, * 1 ch, skip 2 ch, (1 ps, 2 ch, 1 ps) in next ch, 1 ch, skip 2 ch, 1 dc in each of next 5 ch * Repeat from * 2 more times.

R2: 3 ch (counts as first dc), 1 dc in each of next 4 dc, * 1 ch, (1 ps, 2 ch, 1 ps) in ch sp between ps, 1 ch, 1 dc in each of next 5 dc * Repeat from * 2 more times.

R3-99 (or as many rows as you need to get the desired length): Repeat R2.
Fasten off.

 

Edge

R1: Sc all the way around, with 2 sc in each corner. (On the long sides you make 2 sc in each row of dc and on the short sides you make 1 sc in each dc + 5 sc over each puff stitch group (2 sc in first ch sp, 1 sc in middle ch sp, 2 sc in last ch sp).
R2: Sc in back loop all the way around, with 2 sc in each of the two corner sc from last row.
Fasten off.

Tip1: If you want a longer scarf you just add as many rows as you need to get the desired length.

Tip2: Sew some buttons on one of the short sides to turn the scarf into an infinity scarf.

 

Good luck! 🙂

A few variations!

SAMSUNG CSC

Stuffed heart
Make two pieces of part 1, but only rnd 1-4 (don´t make rnd 5). Put one on top of the other with wrong sides facing each other. Now you make rnd 5, but you crochet through both parts at the same time. When you have about 10 sts left you fill it with some sort of stuffing before you finish the last 10 sts. After joining with sl st in the first st, ch 30 (loop) and join again with sl st in the same st.

SAMSUNG CSC

Card with crochet heart
Cut out a rectangle in paper or card board, fold it in half and glue a heart (part 1) on the front.

Good luck! 🙂
