Fall In Love Scarf

Several years ago, when my daughter got engaged, I made her and her fiance matching beanies. These “BF Beanies” have been super popular over the years. I think people really enjoy having a pattern that works great for men and women.

I often get asked for a scarf that would be good for couples or one that would work for just about anyone. I have created this “Fall in Love Scarf” that can be made in almost any yarn, for just about anyone. Whether you make it for someone falling in love or because, like me, you like being cozy in the fall, I hope you will enjoy this scarf. (Get the matching beanie: CLICK HERE)

The Supplies I Used

The Yarn: Premier Puzzle. Each skein has 328 yards. I LOVE all of the available colors. I chose “Kickball” because it was very “fall-ish”. All of the puzzle yarns have fun names of different games. The photo below is of my scarf wrapped in the yarn label.

The hook: When possible I use Clover Soft Touch Crochet Hooks (they only go up to a size J….oh how I wish they came bigger!). I highly suggest using these hooks. I am able to crochet 8-10 hours a day with these hooks. I have extreme fatigue in my hands and arms, but these hooks allow the comfort needed to continue crocheting.

Fall In Love Scarf Crochet Pattern

Materials and Details

Yarn: 600 yards worsted weight yarn. This sample was created Premier Puzzle Kickball (almost 2 full skeins/328 yards per skein).
Crochet Hook: J (6mm)
Notions: Yarn needle for weaving in ends
Measurements: 8.25″ wide x 72″ long
Gauge: 4″ with a J hook = 11 sts (in pattern repeat of dc, sc) x 11 rows

Common Crochet Stitches and Abbreviations

Please read before you begin:
This pattern is written a little differently from the standard crochet pattern. I like to include more explanation to help with stitch placement and to make the experience more enjoyable. I hope you will find my style of pattern writing helpful.

The first stitch of each row is worked into the same stitch as the turning chain unless worked in the round.
Numbers at the beginning of each line do not refer to the number of rows/rounds, but distinguish the next item to complete.
Stitch count remains the same unless noted at end of row/round.
Color changes are included for the main sample. Please substitute yarns as desired. If you will be using multiple yarns I suggest choosing yarns of equal thickness. Not all yarns of similar weight are created equal.
If you have any questions about this pattern please contact [email protected].

Custom Sizes and Yarn Weights

This pattern is great made from a variety of yarns. The beginning st count can be adjusted to make scarves of all widths, plus blankets, towels, runners, etc.

Create custom sizes by adjusting beginning chain length. Just make sure to start with an odd number of chains.

This pattern is written for a bulky weight yarn, using a J hook. Choose your favorite yarn and the appropriate size hook for that yarn. For different yarn weights the beginning stitch count will need to be adjusted. Thinner yarns, such as worsted weight will create a thinner scarf. Thicker yarns, such as bulky weight, will create a wider scarf.

Directions

This project is worked back and forth in long rows. As written, out of bulky weight yarn and a J hook it measures 8.25″ wide x 72″ long.

1. With a J hook and bulky weight yarn, ch 23, sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. (22sts)

2. Ch 1, turn, hdc in the same st, *dc in next st, sc in next st*, repeat until 1 st remains, hdc in last st.

3. Ch 1, turn, hdc in same st, *dc in st one row below, sc in next st (on current row)*, repeat until 1 st remains, hdc in st.

4. Repeat previous row until scarf is 72” long or desired length.

5. Ch 1, turn, sc in each st to end of row. Finish off and weave in ends.

Variations

Pockets (optional-not shown):

If you would like a pocket at each end of the scarf for your hands, add 18” to the length.

When scarf is complete, fold each end of the scarf back overlapping 9”. Use a yarn needle and matching yarn to sew the sides together.

Note: This is a great length and pocket size for me. I am 5’6”. Adjust length as needed.

Fringe (optional-not shown)

Cut 80 pieces of yarn, 14” long.
*Working with 4 pieces of yarn at a time, fold them in half.
Use a crochet hook, pull the center loops through the first stitch at one short end of the scarf. Pull the loops through until you can fit the yarn ends through the loops, making sure the ends are as even as possible.
Pull the yarn ends through until the loops are snug against the scarf.
Skip one st.
Repeat from * to * across the short end.
Add fringe to the opposite end.
Place the scarf on a flat surface so the short ends are even and the fringe is straight. With a sharp pair of scissors, trim the ends of the fringe to desired length. I like to leave mine fairly long.
