How To Crochet Plaid Scarf
Materials Needed
- Weight 6 yarn (Bulk of the scarf)
- Four skeins of cream (Anti-Pilling Everyday Bulky yarn from Premier Yarns)
- Two skeins of denim blue (Same type as cream)
- Weight 4 navy yarn (For additional stripes)
- Random weight 4 yarns for surface crochet
- 9 mm hook (Adjust as needed)
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
- Stitch markers
Tip:
For a polished and professional finish, maintain consistent tension throughout your crocheting. This will give your scarf a uniform look and enhance its overall aesthetic appeal. Enjoy the process and the stunning results!
Foundation Rows
- Start with the cream yarn and create a slip knot.
- Chain 15 (approximately 6 ½ inches or 16-17 cm).
- Create a turning chain (chain one extra for a total of 16).
- Make two rows of half double crochets.
- Change colors to navy yarn (weight 4, doubled up to match thickness).
- Continue carrying the previous yarn as you crochet to integrate it smoothly.
Repeating Pattern
- Rows 1-2: Use cream yarn.
- Row 3: Switch to navy yarn.
- Rows 4-5: Return to cream yarn.
- Row 6: Switch to denim blue yarn.
- Rows 7-11: Continue with cream yarn.
- Row 12: Switch to denim blue yarn.
Creating the Body of the Scarf
- Repeat the pattern from rows 1 to 12 until you reach your desired length.
- Elizabeth made 101 rows in total, roughly 62 inches long, repeating the pattern eight times.
Weaving in Ends
- Carry yarn tails through stitches wherever possible to minimize ends to weave in.
- Weave in remaining loose ends after completing the scarf base.
Surface Crochet for Plaid Effect
- Use a smaller hook (5 ½ mm suggested) for ease.
- To ensure straight lines, follow the zigzag pattern of the stitches: work into the hole-stitch-hole sequence.
- Create a slip knot and begin slip stitches perpendicularly to the existing rows.
- Ensure relaxed tension to keep the scarf flat.
- Tie off at the end of each row and repeat as needed to complete the plaid pattern.
