4 Free Crochet Scarf Patterns with Videos

It's so chilly out there so stay warm with a crochet scarf.  Below there are 4 free Crochet Scarves that come with video instructions.  Below are the video URL and the blog post for that pattern.

I consider them beginner scarves. 

#1: Crochet Crumpled Griddle Scarf

http://crochetpatterns09.blogspot.com/2014/08/crumpled-griddle-crochet-stitch-pattern.html

#2:Crochet Lacy Shell Scarf
This one may look difficult but it only looks that way because of the taller stitch. It uses Half Triple Crochets. It alternates between doing a HTC Shell and 1 single HTC. You're just skipping stitches in-between that creates the lace effect.

If you download the PDF it will also include a photo tutorial. So you have a written, photo and video tutorial. All 3.

Crochet Video Tutorial: Cozy Crochet Winter Flat Bobble (Cluster) Scarf

Crochet Flat Bobble (Cluster) Shell Scarf Pattern 

up close

Video for the Flat Bobble Shell can be found at http://youtu.be/bDzQ0Esn93Q

This is a beautiful crochet pattern for a scarf. It will keep you warm in the fall or winter. It's made using a Flat Bobble Shell stitch. Yes flat, not the traditional ones. It has a beautiful texture. I like to do patterns that are easy enough for a beginner and is something different they can try. It's also great for someone who is experienced. 

You will be alternating between doing a row of the Flat Bobble Shells and a row of a group of 3 double.crochets. I know it's hard to see but it will make more sense when you start. It creates a lace type effect.

Uses a multiple of 4 + 3 chains.

Hook size:I

chain 23 

Swatch: 11 inches high and did 14 rows = 1 1/4 rows per inch

                7 inches wide= 3 1/4 sts per inches

YO = Yarn Over

TCH = the turning chain --->  How to video link can be found at http://youtu.be/diqWCOVGa3s

Ch3sp = Stands for a chain 3 space

Pattern

Chain 23

Row 1: Do 1dc in 4th chain from the hook. Do 1dc in each of the next 2 chains, *chain 1, skip 1, 1dc in each of the next 3 chains *repeat to last chain and do 1dc in it

NOTE: As you can see...you have groupings of 3dc's. You are doing a Bobble Shell in the center dc of each of those groupings. The exact instructions are written out. You are ending with 1dc in the TCH.

Row 2: Chain 3 (counts as first here and throughout. Skip 1st dc, Do (Bobble, ch3, Bobble) in next

stitch *Skip 2dc, do Bobble shell in next dc * repeat to last 2dc and do 1dc into TCH

Row 3: Chain 3, Do 3dc into 1st ch3sp. *chain 1, 3dc into next ch3sp * repeat to last 2dc and do 1dc

into TCH

Repeat rows 2 and 3 for as long as you want your scarf to be.

Crochet Video: Crumpled Griddle Crochet Scarf

New Crochet Scarf

New Crumpled Griddle Crochet Scarf

This is a new pattern that I'm adding to the list of Winter scarfs and stitch patterns. This is a very simple but interesting stitch pattern. Great for a beginner. I wanted to show you a swatch using 2 yarns so you can see the pattern it makes.  It gives a great texture. If you're a beginner it's something different then just using the same basic stitch over and over again. 

After Row 1 you will be doing a Double Crochet in each Double Crochet from the previous row. You will also be doing a Single Crochet in each Single Crochet from the previous row. If you don't have the instructions with you that's an easy way to remember what to do.

Crochet Video: Easy Crochet Lacy Shell Scarf

Easy Lace Crochet Scarf

This is a very easy crochet lace shell scarf. I know it doesn't look easy but you're only using 2 stitches for this entire pattern. Those stitches are a single Half Triple Crochet (HTC) and Half Triple Crochet Shell. Because I'm using a large stitch you can't really see the pattern but if you go to this link it's a smaller stitch and is very similar. The only difference is instead of a single HTC like I mentioned above you are doing 2 DC's (1 after another) and alternating with a Shell stitch. There is a video for that pattern as well.

VIDEO TUTORIAL
You can view it at youtube by following this link

If you don't need the video and you would just like to have the pattern you can find it at https://www.mediafire.com/#on7ctdiy475hb where it is available to download.

Granny Stripe Scarf Crochet Pattern + Video

Video here

This is my Granny Square Inspired Crochet Scarf. I'm so glad I made this because it is definitely my favorite. It's thick and warm and soft thanks to Caron 1 pound yarn.

This scarf is made by grouping several Double Crochets in each "space". This would be a great scarf, or stitch pattern, for a beginner because you're into the "spaces" not an actual stitch, except for the turning chain. There information about Turning Chains if you're a beginner.

Check out the video I made for it by clicking here

Length: 8.5 inches by 60 inches long
Rows: 96 including a last row of Single Crochets (optional)

Abbreviations:

TCH – Turning Chain

Space- The space between groups of 3dc's
* - Repeat instructions between them

PATTERN: (corrections on row 4 fixed 10/27/2013)
Row 1: Do 1SC in the 2nd chain from the hook and in each chain across the row. (25 sc)

Row 2: ch3, 1DC in same space as the base of ch3, *skip 2SC, 3DC in next SC* rep end with Skip 2SC, 2DC in the last SC  (7 dc groups)

Row 3: ch3, 3DC into next space and in each space across the row end with 1DC into TCH (8 groups)

Row 4: ch3, 1DC same space as the base of ch3, *3DC into next space*, 1DC into TCH (7 dc groups)

Impeccible (yarn) Seed Stitch Winter Scarf (multiple yarns)

For pattern, click here
Sorry for any inconvenience 

Warm Fibonacci Crochet Scarf

To see a video on how to do the Seed stitch please go here

To make this winter crochet scarf I am using the Fibonacci Sequence. I used it to make the lighter colored sections. The section of the sequence I am using is 1, 1, 2, 3, 5 then I go in reverse...5, 3, 2, 1, 1. I am using the lighter yarn for those rows. I'm doing 8 rows in between each of those “sequences” in Dark Brown. It's all written out below the pattern further down.

******

If you're not familiar with the Fibonacci Sequence the first two Fibonacci numbers are 0 and 1, the next number is the sum of the previous two and so on. So the numbers are 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21, 34,55,89,144 etc....

Chain 21
Hook Size: K
Completed Rows: 112
Size: Adult or Childrens
Final Size: 58 inches by 7.5 inches

Yarns: Impeccable Loops and Threads
         “True Taupe”; “Heather”, 1 Skein each
 
Abbreviations:
SC – Single Crochet
DC – Double Crochet

Seed Stitch Pattern
Odd number of chains needed
Used 21 chains

Pattern:

Row 1: do 1 SC in second chain from hook,* 1 DC in next chain, 1 SC in the next chain* Repeat across the row

Row 2: chain 1, turn… skip 1^st stitch (normally you don't but for this pattern you have an "empty" stitch every other stitch), *1SC and 1DC in next stitch, skip 1 stitch*    repeat across the row.
When you have 2 stitches left skip 1 and 1sc and 1dc in the last stitch

Repeat row 2

Repeat row 2

FIXED....

**I fixed hook size I not K. PDF corrected
**Also, some people are seeing a chain 26 instead of a chain 22. A site linked to an old PDF. The correct chain is 22.

NOTES:

**All the information for my original pattern (All Half Triple Crochets) is below. But someone asked to have it written with all Double Crochets so that is at the very very end of this post.

**See comments on the youtube video on 

**Youtube video here 

**Half Triple crochet video here

This is a very elegant lacy shell scarf which is very very easy to make. Easy enough for a beginner. After row 4 you won't even need the instructions which I love. You repeat row 3 for the pattern.

The only stitch you are doing is a Half Triple Crochet (HTR). You do a Half Triple Crochet Shell and a Single Half Triple Crochet . As you go throughout the pattern all you do is build a Shell stitch in the Shell from the previous row and do a Single HTR on top of the other single HTR's from the previous row. 

IF you need a photo tutorial it can be found after downloading the PDF. Written pat is below.

Yards of Yarn: 474 feet - 158 yards (for every extra row add 9 feet)

ABBREVIATIONS :

* = Repeat instructions between the astericks

TCH = The Turning Chain
YO = Yarn Over

WRITTEN PATTERN

Chain: 22, add or subtract in multiples of 6

(ch4 counts as 1^st Htr here and throughout)

Row 1: Do 1 Htr in 5^th chain from the hook, do 1 Htr in each stitch across the row. (you made 18 Htr's -19 total)

Row 2: Ch 4, turn. Do 1 Shell in the 4^th st (include the ch4 as the first), Skip 2 sts, *Do 1Htr in the next st, skip 2 sts, 1 Shell in the next stitch, skip 2 sts* repeat from * to * end w/ 1Htr in the TCH* (3 Shells and 4 Single Htr's made)

Row 3: Chain 4, *Do 1 Shell in the center of the Shell from the previous row, then do 1htr in the top of the previous rows single HTR*

Repeat the instructions between * and you will do the final “1Htr” in the turning chain.

(including the beginning ch4, you made 3 Shells and 4 Single Htr's.)

Very Last Row: Do 1HTC in the top of each stitch AND in the center of each Shell. That was left out of the video.

Repeat row 3 until you reach the desired length. Cut yarn and weave in all ends.
