Crochet Swirly Scarf Free Pattern

I love how this scarf naturally twists and turns and it's so cheerful with Red Heart Yarn's Gumdrop Grape yarn. This yarn is super soft and easy to work with – it just slides right over my fingers. This scarf can be worn wrapped around the neck for more warmth, or draped around the neck for warmer days as a cute accessory.

  • Repeat all the way down
  • At the end of the row, you should have worked the 3 DCs in the last CH
  • CH 3
  • Working in the chain 2 SPs of the bottom of the row you just created, work 3 DCs in each space all the way down
  • SL ST into the top of the beginning CH 3

  • CH 3 (this will count as the last DC of this round)
  • *Work 3 DCs, CH 3, 3 DCs in the next SP (in between the first 2 granny stitches)
