Step-by-Step Pattern
1. Foundation
- Make a slipknot.
- Chain 30.
2. Row 1: Base Row
- Work 2 double crochets (dc) into the 5th chain from hook.
- Chain 1, then work 2 dc into the same stitch (W stitch).
- Skip next 2 chains, dc in next chain.
- Skip 2 chains, work W stitch (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) in next chain.
- Repeat from * to * across the row.
- When you reach the last chain: instead of a dc, chain 3 and slip stitch into the last stitch to finish with a wavy end.
- Turn your work.
3. Row 2: Set Up Texture
- Chain 3 to start the new row.
- In each ch-1 space from previous W stitches: work (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) into the space.
- For every single dc between W stitches: work one front post double crochet (FPdc/relief stitch) around the dc (not in the top of the stitch, but around the “post”).
- Repeat (W stitch in ch-1 space, FPdc in dc post) across.
- End the row with a normal dc in the top of the turning chain from the previous row.
- Turn.
4. Row 3 and Beyond: Repeat
- Continue always chaining 3 to start a new row.
- In every ch-1 space, work a W stitch.
- In every dc (relief stitch from last row), work FPdc.
- Always end the row with a dc in the turning chain.
5. Continue Until Finished
- Repeat Row 3 for the entire length of the scarf (about 140 cm or to your preferred length).
- Use all your yarn or stop when the scarf is as long as you like.
6. Finishing
- Fasten off and weave in ends using a yarn needle.
- Block lightly if desired to open up the stitch pattern.
Suggested Uses
- Stay warm with this lightweight scarf in chilly weather.
- Dress up a jacket or sweater with its textured design.
- Makes a perfect gift for friends or family.
Tutor's Suggestions
- Don’t worry about “right” or “wrong” side—the scarf is fully reversible!
- Both ends will have a wavy, pretty finish that stands out.
- Use a solid color to highlight the stitch work, or try ombré yarn for a trendy gradient.
Pro Tip
Keep your front post stitches loose—pull the loop up to the height of your row—so your scarf doesn’t tighten or curl!
