The Houndstooth Fringed Scarf crochet pattern by Dora Does is a modern version of a classical accessory. The houndstooth design, combined with a playful fringe, creates a very charming and stylish addition to any wardrobe. Craft it for yourself, or use it as a heartfelt gift for someone you love!
What Yarn and Tools You Need to Crochet This Pattern
To make your own Houndstooth Fringed Scarf, choose a sport-weight yarn in two contrasting colors. The sample uses Happy Sheep BabyWool from Dora Does, but you can select any other yarn that fits your style. For finishing, you will need a 4.5 mm crochet hook, plus basics like scissors and a yarn needle.
How to Crochet the Houndstooth Fringed Scarf
This crochet scarf pattern is worked in rows, with the color changing at the end of each row to produce the houndstooth effect. It is an easy project that uses basic stitches only, like single and double crochet.
To maintain neat color changes, you change yarns when making the final pull-through of the last stitch in every row. This uses up most ends, and it would make attaching the fringe easier.
The repetitive nature of the houndstooth pattern makes it a mindful and meditative crochet project. You’ll find yourself falling into a rhythm as you alternate stitches and colors. The result is a beautifully textured scarf that looks far more complex than it is to create.
Creative Ways to Style Your Houndstooth Scarf
The Houndstooth Fringed Scarf is a versatile accessory for all types of outfits. Its black-and-white colorway makes it perfect for both casual and office wear during cold times. Fold it over your shoulders during winding, or tightly wind it around the neck for added warmth.
Wear this scarf with contemporary bright outerwear for a more vibrant look, or keep it classy with a neutral coat and boots. This handmade accessory is sure to add style and warmth to your wardrobe!
