A few weeks ago it was one of the first cool days here in Montana. I broke out my stash of yarn and made a really cute chunky scarf with tassels. I posted it on social media and had a ton of requests for me to make friends and family each one. So far I have made a crochet scarf for myself, one for a cousin and her daughter (cute little matching mommy and me set), and one for my husband’s aunt. I think this last scarf for my husband’s aunt came out really cute so I wanted to share it with you.

I’m really big into Modern Style everything lately so why not a modern style crochet scarf. I love that this scarf is on an angle giving it that modern flare. If I didn’t already promise the black and white scarf to her I would have kept it for myself.

Lean on Me Crochet Scarf Free Pattern

Yarn: Red Heart Super Saver #4 Worsted Weight Yarn in the colors black and white. You will need approximately 280 yards total. You can purchase it in the highlighted link.

Hook: 6 mm crochet hook. I’m really digging the crochet hooks with the silicone covering over the shaft. Lately I have felt that they are a little more comfortable to hold.

Craft Scissors: You can use any scissors that you have on hand for this project. I really like using the smaller sized craft scissors because they fit perfectly in my crochet hook bag. You can purchase them in the highlighted link.

Yarn Needle: I like using metal yarn needles over plastic ones. I feel like the metal yarn needles weave through the crocheted yarn much easier. You can purchase a yarn needle through the highlighted link.

Scarf Size: 9″ wide by 90″ long without the tassels. Tassels are approximately 6″ long.

Abbreviations: APPROX (approximately), BEG (beginning), CH (chain), HDC (half double crochet), HDC2Tog (half double crochet 2 together…yarn over and draw up a loop pull through 2 loops, yarn over and insert hook into next stitch, yarn over and pull through all loops on your hook), PAT (pattern), REM (remaining), REP (repeat), YOH (yarn over hook).

Gauge: 12 HDC and 9 rows equal 4″.

Pattern Difficulty: Easy. You can find a full printable pattern on Yarnspirations.com

Note: Chain 2 at beginning of each row does not count as a stitch. Pattern is written for one single color. I used 2 colors. If you want to create something like mine then follow the pattern with one color for 10 rows then change to your second color. All you need to do is repeat till the scarf is the length you desire. 90″ long may be overkill for some people. For example: I did 10 rows in black and 10 rows in white and repeated till I came to my desired length. Get creative with it. You can do as many colors as you would like. It would be really cute as a Christmas theme or Halloween theme.

Now, Let’s get started.

Chain 29.

Row 1: Place 2 HDC in the second chain from the hook. Next, place 1 HDC in each chain all the way to the last 2 chan spaces. Lastly, HDC2Tog in the last two stitches. You should have a total of 27 stitches. Not sure about the HDC2Tog stitch? Learn how to create it here.

Row 2: Chain 2 and turn your work, (remember this does not count as a stitch), First, HDC2Tog, HDC in each stitch across, next, place 2 HDC in last stitch. You should still have a total of 27 stitches.

Row 3: Chain 2 and turn your work, place 2 HDC in first stitch, next, place 1 HDC all the way across to the last 2 stitches, finally, HDC2Tog for the last 2 stitches. You should still have 27 stitches.

Repeat rows 2 and 3 until your work from the beginning measures approximately 90″. Fasten off and weave in your ends. You should still have 27 stitches at the end of each row.

Now, Lets Make The Tassels

Tassels: You will make 4. Cut a piece of cardboard to approximately 6″ wide. Wind the yarn around the cardboard 80 times. Break your yarn, cutting a long tail, thread through all the loops on the cardboard, tie tightly in a knot. Remove the cardboard and wind another piece of yarn around the top part of the yarn (to create the top of the tassels) about a half to one inch down. Tie this tightly in a knot as well. Now, cut through all the loops at the bottom of the tassel and trim the ends as evenly as you can. You will need 4. One tassel for each corner of the scarf. With the tail at the top of the tassels pull one piece through the end of one of the scarf corners and tie in a knot. Take a yarn needle and weave in both ends. Repeat this process on the other 3 corners.

That’s it! This Crochet Scarf Pattern is super simple to make and depending on the yarn it’s extremely warm.
