Crochet a colorful triangle scarf to brighten up your winter

2025-01-30

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.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
    • Decoration: They can be used to create patterns, fill large areas, or add embellishments.
    • Versatility: You can create a variety of different clusters by changing the number of stitches and height.

CROCHETED TRIANGULAR SCARF WITH RELIEF PATTERN

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

img_3441.jpeg

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

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!
