Homemade scarfs are perfect for the holidays, here is my take on a Crochet Christmas Scarf Pattern! It uses the crochet granny spike stitch and will keep you warm all season long.
For a versatile, scrap yarn project, I created crochet planets using assorted blues and whites. Feel free to use new skeins and any colors you like. Change colors every 2 rows for an uneven chevron effect; adjust stripe thickness to your preference. This stitch swatch can be extended into a scarf or another project. Modify the chain length if desired, ensuring it's divisible by 4, plus 1 for the turning chain.
Instructions
This pattern is worked in short rows.
Row 1: Using the white yarn, ch x32 +1 and turn your work.
Row 2: Starting in the 5th chain from the hook, make 3dc in the same stitch. Then *ch x1 + skip 3 stitches, then 3dc in the next stitch*. Then repeat what is between the * for the rest of the row. When there are 4 stitches left, ch x1 + skip 3 stitches, and make 2dc in the last stitch. Ch x2 and turn.
Row 3: In each ch sp across make dc x1 into the ch sp, dc spike stitch x1 (instead of working into the ch sp, work into the top of the middle dc in the cluster below), into the center stitch in the row below, then dc x1 into the ch sp. Finally ch x1. And that is how you do a spike granny stitch cluster. Repeat for the rest of the row.
To finish the row, make 2dc in the beginning ch sp of the previous row.
Fasten off the white yarn and join the red yarn. Ch x2 in the new color and turn.
Row 4: With the newly joined red yarn, in each ch sp across make dc x1 into the ch sp, dc spike stitch x1, into the center stitch in the row below, then dc x1 into the ch sp. Finally ch x1. Then repeat for the rest of the row.
Row 5: Repeat row 4 in red, and then fasten off the red yarn and join the white yarn. Ch x2 in the new color and turn. .
Row 6-59: Repeat row 4, but remember to switch colors every 2 rows. After the last row, switch colors to green.
Row 60-117: Repeat row 4 but in a solid green, you do not need to switch colors on this side.
Final row: Instead of doing a dc either side of the dc spike stitch, make a sc. So instead of dc, dc spike, dc, ch. It’s sc, dc spike, sc, ch.
After the scarf rows are finished, fasten off the green yarn but leave a tail for sewing the scarf closed.
Finishing:
Sew the ends of the scarf closed.
If you weren’t weaving in as you go, weave in the ends of the red and white yarns.
