Make this Crochet Green Scarf Pattern as your next project for a fun challenge. Despite its complicated look, it's actually easy to complete, I promise!
I love finding new techniques in crocheting and this scarf is definitely one of them. The crochet green scarf pattern I created uses a method that creates crochet tartan or crochet plaid.
The crochet tartan scarf is achieved by making a striped scarf and then weaving yarn in between stitches in the other direction. You can do this technique on anything, scarves, blankets, pillows - the list goes on!
While this technique looks difficult it really isn’t and it will have crochet admirers really intrigued and in disbelief that you made it!
So let's begin making this crochet green scarf!

✏️ Things To Note:
- Although I used green, yellow, black, and white, you can use whatever colored yarns you would like.
- I would not recommend doing this technique with chunky yarns. I would stitch to either worsted or dk weight yarns.
- The width of the scarf is about 8 inches wide and about 5.5-6ft long
🪡 Materials Needed
💭Abbreviations to Remember (US terms)
- Chain - ch
- Single crochet - sc
🧋Variations
This is a type of technique that has endless variations. I suggest experimenting with line thickness and looking at tartan patterns for inspiration.
🍵Instructions for the Crochet Green Scarf Pattern:
This pattern is made in rows and then we weave in yarn lengthwise to create a crochet tartan pattern.
Row 1: With the green yarn, ch x32
Row 2: In the second ch from the hook, make a sc. then make a ch and skip the next stitch and make a sc.
Keep repeating ch + skipped stitch and then sc for the rest of the row. Ch x1 and turn (31).
Row 3: Now find the last sc you made in the last row. Make a sc on top of it, then ch x1 and skip the ch you made before. Sc into the next sc you made from the previous round. You want to continue ch + skip previous ch and sc into the sc stitches. (31)
You want to have neat, stacked rows of sc and ch. Make sure you do not sc into the chain space from the previous row. (31)
Row 4-7: Repeat row 3. Then change the colors to white. (31)
Row 8-10: Repeat row 3 but in white. Then change colors to black. (31)
Row 11: Repeat row 3 but in black. Then change colors to yellow. (31)
Row 12: Repeat row 3 but in yellow. Then change colors to black. (31)
Row 13: Repeat row 3 but in black. Then change colors to white. (31)
Row 14-17: Repeat row 3 but in white. Then change colors to olive. (31)
Row 18-24: Repeat row 3 but in olive. Then change colors to white. (31)
Repeat row 7-24 x11 more times. Or until you reach the desired length. Just make sure you end with the olive color at the end of the scarf.
Once the main part of the scarf has been completed, it is time to weave in yarn for the length of the scarf.
Weaving in the Yarn:
To do this you will lay your scarf out flat, then measure out lengthwise the length of yarn needed so the woven yarn can reach the entire length of the scarf. Make sure it is a bit longer just in case it might end up too short + fringe length.
Cut:
- 20x olive yarn strips
- 16x yellow
- 16x white
- 8x black
With your tapestry needle, take 2 pieces of olive yarn and thread them onto the needle. Make sure the 2 yarn pieces are pretty lined up lengthwise before beginning.
Starting at the end of the scarf where there is your first row of stacked chain stitches, you will weave your needle in and out of the chains lengthwise. This will create a woven look. Make sure to leave about 6 inches down at the end for the fringe.
You will weave yarn only in the chain rows.
While weaving in the yarn make sure to stretch the scarf out if it begins to bunch up because of the weaving.
Do this technique for the entirety of the scarf but make sure that you alternate the chains you are weaving between each new row.
For weaving you should have 15 chain rows so the colors of strips should go:
Olive, white, yellow, black, yellow, white, olive, olive, olive, white, yellow, black, yellow, white and green.
Once all the weaving is done, it is time to make the fringe!
How to Make Fringe:
Cut 14-inch strips of yarn of:
- 20x olive yarn strips
- 16x yellow
- 16x white
- 8x black
Now you want to take 2 at a time, line them up lengthwise and then color wise with the woven yarn ends. Then loop them down into the end stitches where you made the weaving lines out of.
Pull the yarn through the loop including the 2 yarn ends from the woven rows. Pull tightly on the fringe yarn, but gently tug on the woven row yarn ends. Now you should have your first fringe.
Repeat for the rest of the row. And then repeat on the other side.
And now you should have a crochet green scarf made with the tartan technique! Happy crocheting!
🐌Expert Tips
You want to keep tugging on the scarf as you go readjusting any woven rows if they are too tight or too loose.
🧵Pattern FAQs
Absolutely just make sure you have an even amount of starting chains.
You can try your hand at making a rainbow scarf if you'd like! You just want to make sure the colors are different enough that it doesn't blend together.
Absolutely! You can use my chart as a base but alternate 2 colors for a different look, just make sure the colors are different enough it doesn’t blend into one color.
