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!
Choose any yarn colors. Avoid chunky yarns; opt for worsted or DK weight.
The scarf is 8 inches wide and 5.5-6 feet long.
Explore variations in line thickness and draw inspiration from tartan patterns.
Instructions
The crochet green scarf 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.
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!
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 colorwise 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! I hope you enjoyed my crochet green scarf pattern!
