Easy Crochet Scarf Patterns

Work up any one of these quick and easy crochet scarves. These easy crochet scarf patterns can be completed in just a few hours (or even minutes!) using one or two skeins of yarn. It's amazing how simple it is to work up one of these crochet scarves that can pull together any outfit for a special date night, day at work, or drinks with friends.

These crochet scarves differ from infinity scarves in that they aren't seamed at the ends to form a loop. Because of this, you can style your crochet scarves however you want. Use one solid color to create an everyday accessory, or add multiple colors to brighten up your look. You can even add fringe to the ends for a fun on-trend look.

BONUS! How to Block a Crochet Scarf

Now that you're done with your work, you're probably wondering how to care for your crochet project. Should you wash it? How? Well, for the most part, unless your yarn labels specifically say hand wash, you should be able to machine wash your work to clean it. But before you go about wearing your new design, you'll want to block your work to make sure it isn't curling or uneven. You can either wet block, cold block or dry block, and you can find specific information at our tutorial on how to block a crochet pattern, but the basics are the same:

  1. For wash blocking only, wash your project first.
     
  2. Spread out your project either on a bed, some towels, a rug or a blocking board.
     
  3. Work around the project and, using rust-proof pins, pin your project in place.
     
  4. Make sure the pinned project reflects how you want your work to end up looking: keep your edges straight!
     
  5. If wash blocking, let dry completely. If dry blocking, use a steamer or iron around your work to relax and set your work. If cold blocking, mist your project with a spray bottle until your work is wet.

    For a more detailed tutorial of the blocking process and to download this handy blocking infographic, be sure to read How to Block Crochet.
