Crochet Swirly Scarf

34 Shares

A free pattern for a swirly, girly fun scarf using the granny stitch. It works up fairly quickly in a couple of hours and can be sized for a girl or a lady.

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.

Make a chain in multiples of 3

Round/Row 1

In the 3rd CH from hook (not including the loop on the hook), work 2 DC in the same CH
*Skip 2 CHs
Work 3 DCs in the next CH
Skip 2 CHs*
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

Round/Row 2

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)
Repeat from * all the way down, working the same pattern into the corner CH 3, work all the way down the other side
At the end of the round, work 3 DCs, CH 3, 2 DC’s and attach by SL ST to the top of the previous CH 3 from the beginning of Round 2.
