This striped scarf combines the popular v-stitch and the easy double crochet stitch to create an attractive and colorful design. The V stitch scarf crochet pattern from Treasurie uses worsted weight yarn and is crocheted along the length so you have lovely straight edges. It is a beginner friendly project, since the v shapes are just double crochets separated by chains.

V Stitch Scarf Crochet Pattern and Tutorial

This v stitch scarf is one of my favorites due to the colorful stripes. It uses 4 colors, one for the main part and 3 for the stripes. You can make the stripes a similar tone as I did or use completely contrasting colors. It lends to so many options. The scarf fringing, of course, is optional, but I liked the way it looked as if it continued the stripes.
