This is more of a tutorial than a pattern, a highly adaptable and customizable scarf.


  • medium weight 4 yarn/1 main color (A) and 1 to 3 accent colors (B, C, D)
  • J hook
  • yarn needle


1.  Gauge is not important for this project.
2.  This scarf can be done with a single color or multiple colors.  I have done them with a color pattern of A B A C A B A and A B A B A B A and A B A C A D A.
3.  Chain an even-numbered length (includes the turning chain).  You will want an odd number of completed stitches.  You will always end with the A row, but you can make the scarf narrower or wider, but ending with an odd number of rows for symmetry.

Stitches Used:

single crochet (sc)


Ch even number of chains to desired length with color A.

Row 1:  sc in 2nd ch from hook. *Ch 1/sk 1, sc in next.  Repeat from * to end, changing to color B in final st.   Ch 1 and turn.

Row 2:  sc in 2nd ch from hook.  *sc in ch 1-space, ch 1/sk 1. Repeat from * across to last st.  sc in last st, changing to color A final st.  Ch 1 and turn.

Rows 3-6:  Repeat Rows 1-2

Row 7:  Repeat 1 and FO.


1.  Cut multiple strands (2-4 strands per tassel) of yarn colors to twice the desired length of tassels, enough for 4 tassels on either end.
2.  Fold yarn in half and insert hook from back at the end of each color A row and draw yarn loop through.
3.  Pull loose ends through loop and tighten.
