Champagne Scarf – a simple crochet scarf pattern

The Champagne Scarf is a simple crochet scarf pattern with a lovely textured stitch pattern. It uses a two-row repeat, making it an easy and relaxing project to crochet once you get into the rhythm of the pattern.

The scarf is worked in rows using herringbone half treble crochet and double crochet stitches. The combination creates a lovely textured fabric while keeping the pattern straightforward enough for beginners.

It is also easy to customise, so you can make your scarf longer, shorter, wider or narrower to suit you.

Pattern Notes

The Champagne Scarf uses a simple two-row repeat, alternating rows of double crochet and herringbone half treble crochet.

The ch2 at the beginning of Rows 2 onwards counts as the first stitch. The first stitch of the row is worked into the second stitch from the row below.

Making a Different Size

Remember you will need to adjust the yarn quantities if making the scarf longer or wider.

Length = foundation chain

Width = number of rows

Adjusting the Length: To make the length of the scarf longer or shorter you must adjust the number of stitches in the starting chain.  Any number of stitches + 1 for the starting chain. The sample had a starting chain of 205 (204+1) and measured a length of 175cm (69in) (without the tassels).

Adjusting the Width: To make the width of the scarf wider or narrower you must adjust the number of completed rows as per pattern.  The sample measured 19cm (7.5in) in width which was worked in 26 rows.

Instructions

  • Foundation Row: Chain 205 (any number of stitches + 1 for starting chain) for approximately a length of 175cm (excluding tassels). Adjust the number of chains in the foundation row if you desire a longer or shorter scarf.
  • Row 1: Dc in second chain from the hook and in each chain across. Turn. [204 sts]
  • Row 2: Ch2 (counts as 1st HBhtr), HBhtr in second stitch and in each stitch across to the end. Turn. [204 sts]
  • Row 3: Ch2 (counts as 1st dc), dc in each stitch across to the end. Turn. [204 sts]
  • Row 4: Ch2 (counts as 1st HBhtr), HBhtr in each stitch across to the end. Turn. [204 sts]
  • Continue to alternate Row 3 and Row 4 until the desired width is reached. The sample was worked in 26 rows to reach a width of 19cm (7.5in).
  • Weave in ends.
  • Add tassels (optional): Follow the link below for instructions on adding tassels to your scarf.
