Crocheted granny stitch scarf -- This listing is for a pattern only, NOT a finished product. The pattern is a pdf, which will be available for direct download from Etsy immediately after payment.
This v-shaped scarf, crocheted with bold granny stripes and a striking color combination, melds the fashion-forward edge of a triangle scarf or kerchief with the ease of wear of a traditional scarf. I often find that if a kerchief is big enough to wrap securely around my neck, it’s too bulky, but I love the way they look. The long “arms” on this scarf, reaching out from a crisply pointed center, solve that problem neatly. A double crochet border all the way around neatens up the edges.
The simple stitch pattern and worsted weight yarn make this a quick project suitable for beginners, while the unusual shape and opportunity for wild color combinations make this a fun and interesting stitch. Using a large hook relative to the yarn ensures great drape and maximizes the “squish” factor from the granny stitches. This pattern will work with any fiber—choose a cotton blend for warmer climates and year-round wear, or go for 100% wool and stay extra cozy.
The finished scarf measures approximately 6” wide x 90” long (each “arm” is about 45” long).
The pattern includes written instructions (no charts) using American English crochet terminology.
