Add a pop of color to your winter outfits with this Sweet Shop Scarf crochet pattern by Jennifer Dickerson! The design features stripes of colors in random order and various widths, which gives it an unexpected character. It’s a perfect project for using up all those colorful yarn leftovers you’ve been holding onto.
Do I Need to Know Any Special Stitches?
To make this crochet winter scarf, you should know the star stitch technique. It’s a simple stitch that creates a gorgeous star-like texture, so it’s definitely worth adding to your crafting repertoire. The scarf features an easy rectangle shape and involves simple color changes, which sounds like a great opportunity to practice this technique.
How Much Yarn Do I Need to Make This Crochet Scarf?
The designer used 558 yards of worsted-weight yarn to crochet a scarf that is 6” wide and 62” long, including the fringe. A great option for this project is any wool or acrylic yarn that you will love having wrapped around your neck.
Since the pattern uses multiple colors, you can easily employ your scrap yarn to complete your accessory. Just be sure it’s yarn of the same weight to get a cohesive look.
How Can I Adjust the Size of the Sweet Shop Scarf?
This handmade scarf is worked widthwise, meaning the number of stitches in the foundation chain determines its width. To make it wider or narrower, add or reduce chains before starting the first row.
You can also adjust the length of the wrap, which is even easier to achieve. To make a longer scarf, simply work more rows, and to make a shorter one, finish crocheting earlier.
