Chevron Granny Stitch Scarf, Free Crochet Scarf Pattern

Introducing the Winter Chevron Scarf! This eye-catching scarf is so cozy and looks fantastic. Best of all, it just uses granny stitches, which are made up of three double crochet in a cluster.

It uses a worsted weight yarn in a self-striping color combination, making it so stylish and easy.

The scarf is crocheted in two pieces. The main chevron piece and a granny square are added to one end. To add extra style, I have added tassels at each end. The additional weight at the ends means the scarf sits beautifully and drapes around your neck with ease.

This is an easy crochet scarf pattern for beginners, as all you need to be able to do is the double crochet stitch. Below, you will find the complete pattern and the supplies I used.

Crochet a Chevron Granny Stitch Scarf

If you are looking for an easy scarf pattern in a self striping yarn, then this Chevron Granny Stitch Scarf Pattern is perfect for you. Look stylish in a handmade scarf in your favorite colors. This scarf was so soft to wear!

Supplies

• Worsted weight yarn (10ply) #4. Approximately 320m (350y). Self-striping yarn.
• 5mm (H-8) crochet hook or size to meet gauge.
• Measuring tape
• Optional – tag

Best Yarn for this Scarf

I used 2 skeins of Lion Brand Mandala Ombre in color Chi. You can use any worsted weight yarn. This yarn is super soft and feels nice on your hands when you are crocheting. It is 100% acrylic and has a bouncy feel. I think it is a wonderful blend of softness and affordability. I’ve also just finished a granny stitch vest in this pink and orange yarn.

You can substitute any worsted weight yarn. If the yarn is not self-striping, choose at least 3 colors. Of course if you are changing yarn, do a swatch before you start to check the gauge and change your crochet hook size to match.

Special Stitches

This pattern uses a puff stitch and cluster stitch in the granny square part of the pattern.

Puff Stitch

To crochet a puff stitch, you have to half-close a few stitches into the same stitch and then join them back together.

1. *YO, insert hook, YO pull through. (3 loops on your hook.)
2. Now into the same stitch, repeat from * three times. (7 loops))
3. YO and draw the hook through all y loops on the hook. (1 loop)
4. Chain 1. (This secures the puff stitch.)

Cluster Stitch

The crochet cluster stitch is made up of a series of stitches that are all joined together at the top.

1. *YO, insert hook into stitch, YO, pull up a loop. YO pull through 2 loops. (2 loops)
2. Repeat from * twice more into same stitch. (4 loops on the hook.)
3. YO, pull through all 4 loops. (first cluster stitch)

Using Self-Striping Yarns

Self-striping yarns like this Mandala Ombre are popular for their pre-dyed color transitions that create stripe patterns effortlessly. You can use the yarn as it comes off the skein for a natural, unpredictable look or separate the colors for greater control over the design.

I chose to separate the colors to create a more deliberate pattern. I changed the color of the stripes roughly every 6 rows. Some had more and some had less as I didn’t want to waste yarn. I also kept a little of each color for the granny square. Since every skein has different color ratios, you will need to vary the design slightly to use what you have.
