Crochet a colorful triangle scarf to brighten up your winter
Happy crafting day, everyone!
Today I have a tutorial for a really fun and colorful crocheted scarf. This time I chose an interesting way of crocheting from the tip, which gives the scarf a beautiful arched shape.
The pattern is a combination of simple V-stitches and bulky puff stitches. Thanks to this, the scarf looks very textured and eye-catching. Yet, the pattern is easy to remember and repeats after four rows.
I used the amazing acrylic Caron Cinnamon Swirl Cakes yarn. These cakes are not only pleasant to the touch but also have beautiful color transitions. For my scarf, I chose a combination of orange, yellow, and blue - perfect for brightening up these cold days!
You can adjust the size of the scarf to your liking. It is crocheted from the tip and gradually widens. You can crochet it as long as you like, or until you run out of yarn.
Tip: To give the scarf an even more interesting look, you can add tassels or fringes to the corners.
Why will you love this scarf?
- It's easy to crochet, so even beginners can handle it.
- It's very versatile and goes with many outfits from elegant to sporty.
- It's comfortable to wear and will keep you warm on colder days.
- And last but not least, it's a great way to brighten up those long winter evenings.
So don't hesitate and start crocheting! I can't wait to see your colorful creations.

CROCHETED COLORFUL TRIANGLE SCARF
Crochet a fun, colorful triangle scarf with a relief pattern. This scarf has an airy relief pattern that repeats every 4 rows. At first, it may seem a bit complicated, but once you memorize it, it goes quickly and easily. We crochet a "V" stitch pattern, which consists of long double crochets and chain stitches, and the long double crochets are worked into the front loop to create a relief effect.
Basic crochet knowledge is required, everything is explained in detail in the written instructions below and is also shown in the video tutorial.

Special Stitch: 3DS Cluster
A 3DS cluster is created by working three double crochets into the same stitch.
Instructions:
- First double crochet: Insert your hook into the designated stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop. You now have two loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through both loops. You'll have two loops left on your hook.
- Second double crochet: Insert your hook into the same stitch again, yarn over, and pull up a loop. You now have three loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through two loops. You'll have three loops left on your hook.
- Third double crochet: Repeat the previous step one more time. Insert your hook into the same stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over, and pull through two loops. You'll have four loops on your hook.
- Finishing: Yarn over and pull through all loops on your hook. And there you have it! You've completed one 3DS cluster.
Tips:
- Number of stitches: You can adjust the number of double crochets in your cluster to create different sizes and textures. More double crochets will create a larger, puffier cluster.
- Why clusters are popular:
- Texture: Clusters add interesting texture and dimension to your projects.

- Versatility: You can create a variety of different clusters by changing the number of stitches and height.

CROCHETED TRIANGULAR SCARF WITH RELIEF PATTERN
PATTERN NOTES
- Size: This scarf is designed for a women's size M.
- Shape: The scarf is worked from the tip in a triangular shape.
- Construction: The scarf is crocheted in rows back and forth. You can try on the scarf as you work to determine the desired length.
- Stitches: The pattern uses basic stitches: double crochet, chain stitch, and a cluster stitch made up of double crochets. These stitches create a "V" pattern that repeats every 4 rows.
- Yarn: This pattern was made using one skein of yarn, but you can adjust the length by using more or less yarn. To adjust the width, simply work more or fewer rows.
- Beginning of the row: 3 chain stitches at the beginning of a row count as one double crochet.
- First row: The initial chain stitch does not count as a stitch.
- Measurements:
- Shortest side: 76 cm (approximately 30 inches)
- Top side: 110 cm (approximately 43 inches)
- Longest side: 160 cm (approximately 63 inches)
- Note: The size is measured with the scarf laid flat on a surface (such as a table), before stretching or draping around the body.
- Measurements may vary depending on your crochet tension and the yarn used.
The scarf is crocheted in rows. Turn your work at the end of each row.
Start with a magic ring.
R1: ch4 (tr), ch2, tr, turn
R2: ch4 (tr), ch2, (dc, ch2, dc), turn
R3: 1 sl st in next 2 st, ch3 (dc), ch2, dc in chsp, (dc, ch2, dc) in next chsp, ch2, tr in 4th ch from beg of row, turn
R4: ch4 (tr), ch2, (dc, ch2, dc) in next 3 chsp, turn
R5: 1 sl st in next 2 st, ch2 (3dc-cluster, ch2, 3dc-cluster) in next 4 chsp, ch2, tr in 4th ch from beg of row, turn
R6: ch4 (tr), ch2, (dc, ch2, dc) in next 3 chsp, 1dc between clusters, turn
R7: 1 sl st in next 2 st, ch2 (3dc-cluster, ch2, 3dc-cluster) in next 4 chsp, ch2, tr in 4th ch from beg of row, turn
R8: ch4 (tr), ch2, (dc, ch2, dc) in next 5 chsp, 1dc between clusters, turn
R9: 1 sl st in next 2 st, ch2 (3dc-cluster, ch2, 3dc-cluster) in next 6 chsp, ch2, tr in 4th ch from beg of row, turn
R10: ch4 (tr), ch2, (dc, ch2, dc) in next 5 chsp, 1dc between clusters, turn
R11: 1 sl st in next 2 st, ch2 (3dc-cluster, ch2, 3dc-cluster) in next 6 chsp, ch2, tr in 4th ch from beg of row, turn
R12: ch4 (tr), ch2, (dc, ch2, dc) in next 7 chsp, 1dc between clusters, turn
R13: 1 sl st in next 2 st, ch2 (3dc-cluster, ch2, 3dc-cluster) in next 8 chsp, ch2, tr in 4th ch from beg of row, turn
Repeat row R6 till R9.
After each repetition, the number of cluster clams increases by 2.
Continue crocheting until you are happy with the size of the scarf. We finish with a row of cluster Vs. I used one ball of yarn and ended up with a scarf that has 30 V-shaped clusters in the last row.
Congratulations! Your new scarf is perfect! It's colorful, cheerful, and completely unique. Enjoy it to the fullest! It will brighten up any outfit!
