Notes
- Colors and Yarn Type: For the moss stitch crochet scarf pattern, I used nine different colors with scrap yarns I already had. I listed the colors and yarns used if you want to make the exact same scarf. Otherwise, to get a similar effect, you can use earthy greens and a few jewel tones for pops of color.
- Matching Yarn Material: When making scrap projects, I mix brands, but it's important to ensure they wash similarly and are made of the same type of material (acrylic in my case) and the same yarn weight.
- Scarf Length: I made this scarf roughly 6 feet long. After you make the chain, check if you need to shorten or lengthen it to match your desired scarf size.
Instructions
The moss stitch crochet pattern is worked in rows.
- With Dark Tea Leaf, Ch x250 (or any even number)
- Row 1: In the second ch from hook, make a sc, ch + skip the chain below, and make a sc into the next chain. Repeat for the rest of the row. (249)
- You know you have the correct number of chains if you end on a sc, you do not want to end the row with a foundation ch untouched.
- Fasten off and switch the colors to Olive.
- Ch x1 and turn.
- Rows 2 and onwards: Sc into the ch-space from the row below, *ch x1 and skip over the last rows sc, and sc into the next ch-space.
- Repeat from * for the rest of the row. While you are completing more rows, make sure you are crocheting into the chain spaces from the previous row, do not make a single crochet into the chain directly. Crochet around it. (249)
- You should see these little v's forming.
- Fasten off and switch the color to Hosta.
This is the color way for my entire scarf:
- Dark Tea Leaf, Olive, Hosta, Taupe, Mulberry, Tea Leaf, Grey Heather, Royal Blue, Rose, Taupe, Olive, Mulberry, Hosta, Grey Heather, Dark Tea Leaf, Rose, Tea Leaf, Royal Blue, Taupe, Olive, Mulberry, Grey Heather, Dark Tea Leaf, Hosta
How to Make Fringe:
- For the fringe cut 1-12 inch piece of yarn for each color you are wanting to add.
- For me, I used 1 strand per color row I was working on and then used that + my row tails to make the fringe. If you weaved in your tails from the body of your scarf, you will need to do 2 strands of yarn per fringe.
- To attach the fringe to the crochet linen stitch scarf, fold the strand of yarn in half, pinch the middle and make a loop,
- insert a hook into the short side of the scarf and pull the yarn through the stitch.
- Then using your fingers take the ends of the fringe and loop them through the hole you made, as well as the rows yarn tail, and pull tight.
- Repeat the above step alternating colors for the entire width of the scarf. Repeat on the other side of the scarf. I put 1 group of fringe per row.
- After all the fringe is attached, trim the bottom so the yarn is nice and all lined up.
- And now you have a crochet moss stitch scarf in earth and jewel tones! Stay warm! I hope you enjoyed my moss stitch crochet scarf pattern!
