As winter approaches, why not make a cozy crochet snowflake scarf pattern? This pattern features a soft blue design with delicate crochet snowflakes and a fun pom pom border—a unique alternative to fringe.
As the days grow colder and winter draws near, it's the perfect time to cozy up with a handmade scarf that not only keeps you warm but also adds a touch of winter magic to your wardrobe. Why not embrace the season and make a beautiful crochet snowflake scarf that captures the charm of crisp, snowy days? This scarf is perfect for the cool weather—and, fingers crossed, any snowflakes that fall this winter!
In this pattern, I’ve combined two lovely shades of blue—a soft light blue and medium blue—with delicate white crochet snowflakes scattered across the medium blue section, creating a beautiful wintery effect. The scarf is generously long, so you can wrap it around your neck once or twice for extra warmth and style.
To top it off, I’ve replaced the traditional crochet scarf fringe with an adorable crochet pom pom border, giving the ends of the scarf the look of little snowballs falling from the edges.
Whether you're a seasoned crocheter or a beginner looking to learn how to crochet a snowflake, this scarf is sure to be a fun and festive project.
So, grab your yarn and hooks—let’s make this cozy blue crochet scarf to keep you warm all season long. Plus, with this crochet pom pom scarf design, you’ll be ready for winter weather in the most stylish way possible!

🍵Instructions for Crochet Snowflake Scarf Pattern
For this Crochet Snowflake Scarf Pattern, we will be working in the rows.
Blue Crochet Scarf:
Row 1: Using light blue yarn, ch x32 (32).
Row 2: Dc in the 3rd chain from the hook. Then make dc stitches for the rest of the chain length. After, ch x2 and turn (30).
Row 3-102: Repeat row 2 (30). After row 102, change the color to delft blue, then ch x2 and turn.
Row 103-138: With the delft blue now on your hook, repeat row 2 (30). Then fasten off and weave in any ends.
Large Crochet Snowflake Pattern:
For this crochet snowflake granny square pattern, we will be working in rounds.
Round 1: Make a mr and ch x2 in it. Then dc x12 into the mr and sl st to the first dc in the round (12).
Round 2: Ch x2 and dc inc in every stitch. Then sl st to the first dc in the round (24).
Make sure you have exactly 24 stitches.
Round 3: Make a *Sc, hdc, and then in the next stitch (dc + ch x4 +dc). In the following stitch make a hdc*. Repeat this sequence for the rest of the round.
The last stitch you need to make for this round is a hdc, then sl st to the first sc in the round.
Round 4: Sc in the first 2 stitches. *Then in the chain space from round 3, make a sc and ch x6. Next, make a sl st in the first ch that you made after the sc (like a picot stitch).
Now you are going to crochet back in the chain space from round 3, by making a hdc and than a dc.
Next ch x6 and in the 5th chain from the hook, make a sl st.
After, ch x5 and in the 5th chain from the hook, make a sl st. Do this last step 1 more time.
Finally, slip stitch into the first chain you made in the initial chain of 6 (after the dc). You should now have 3 loops at the top of the dc you made previously.
Make a dc and a hdc in the chain space from the last round. You are now working down the other side of the snowflake spike.
Then ch x6 and make a sl st in the 6th ch (the one made after the hdc.)
Next, make 1 more sc in the chain space, * then sc in the next 5 stitches before you get to the next ch space from round 3.
Small Crochet Snowflake Pattern:
The small crochet snowflake is also made in the round, but starts with a chain.
Round 1: Ch x8 and then sl st in the first ch to close the circle.
Round 2: *Sc around the chain circle, then ch x7. Make a slip stitch in the 4th chain from the hook. After, ch x4 and in the 4th chain from the hook, make a sl st. Do this last step 1 more time.
Finally, slip stitch into the fifth chain you made in the initial chain of 7. Then slip stitch 2 more times in the other 2 chains that lead down to the snowflake base. Then sc x1 in the chain circle to anchor the snowflake arm.
*Repeat 5 more times.
Make 2 snowflakes.
Sew the snowflakes on to the darker part of the scarf like you would appliques. The larger one on the bottom with the 2 smaller ones on top.
Crochet Pom Pom Border:
In the 3rd chain from the hook, dc 4 together.
To create this stitch, begin by making a normal double crochet stitch. However, instead of completing the stitch by pulling through the last two loops on your hook, continue by making another double crochet without finishing the first one. Each time you make a new dc, you'll add an extra loop onto your hook. By the end, you should have a total of five loops on your hook. Once you have all five loops, yarn over and pull through all five loops at once to complete the stitch.
Then ch x3.
In the 3rd chain from your hook, dc 4 together again.
Fold the cluster of stitches over and sl st into the ch that you made your first group of dc’s in.
Then ch x3 again.
Now you want to skip 4 stitches and anchor the chain to the crochet edge with a single crochet.
You have now successfully made your first pom pom. Repeat for the rest of the edge. Repeat on the other side.
Congratulations! You’ve now created your very own crochet snowflake scarf, perfect for the chilly winter days ahead. Whether you’re gifting it to someone special or keeping it for yourself, this scarf will be sure to add a little winter magic to any outfit.

🐌Expert Tips
- Consistent Tension is Key: While crocheting the scarf, try to maintain even tension across your stitches. Uneven tension can make your scarf look lumpy or uneven, especially if you are alternating between colors. If you’re having trouble with consistent tension, try holding your yarn a bit more loosely or practicing on a small swatch first.
- Choosing the Right Yarn: For a cozy, soft feel, choose a yarn that has a little bit of stretch to it. This will help the scarf drape nicely around your neck. A medium-weight yarn (like worsted weight) is perfect for this pattern, as it’s thick enough to keep you warm but not too heavy.
- Blocking Your Snowflakes: Once you’ve crocheted all your snowflakes, it’s a good idea to block them to give them a crisp, defined shape. You can easily do this by gently steaming or pinning them out on a flat surface and letting them dry. This will make the snowflakes look more uniform and tidy on your scarf.
🧵Pattern FAQs
Absolutely! Many crochet scarves are beginner-friendly, especially if you stick to basic stitches like single crochet, double crochet, or half double crochet. The crochet snowflake scarf pattern I’ve provided is also beginner-friendly, and you can customize it to suit your skill level. If you're new to crochet, start with smaller sections to build confidence before tackling the full scarf.
If your scarf feels a little stiff or scratchy, try using a softer yarn (like a blend of acrylic and bamboo or merino wool) next time. You can also wash and block the scarf once it's finished, as this can help soften the texture. For some yarns, adding a little fabric softener while washing can also help improve the feel.
The beauty of crocheting a scarf is that you can use virtually any stitch! For a simple, textured scarf, basic stitches like single crochet (sc), double crochet (dc), or half double crochet (hdc) are great choices. If you want something with more design, you can try a shell stitch, granny stitch, or even a lacy stitch pattern. The crochet snowflake scarf pattern uses double crochet and a few simple techniques to create a beautiful, textured finish.
