V Stitch Crochet Scarf Tutorial:
Abbreviations: V Stitch= dc, ch1, dc into same space
To make this V stitch crochet scarf, we are using just the crochet basic stitches, you will need to know how to work the chain stitch and then the double crochet stitch. Both are easy beginner-friendly stitches.
With a size K hook, Chain 13 loosely
Foundation Row: Into the 3rd chain from the hook, *(dc, ch1, dc) skip the next chain*, rep till the last stitch. Turn. Forms 6 V-sts.
Row 1: ch2, *(dc, ch1, dc) into the next ch sp of the V stitch cluster from previous row* repeat till the end.
Repeat Row 1 until you have your desired length for a scarf.
TIP: Keep your beginning chain loose and not too tight. Else your work won’t form a neat straight line but will start to weep or bend while you work your next row.
This Crochet V Stitch Scarf is great portable project to carry around to kids’ activities or crochet on the go. The simple repetitive stitch pattern makes it perfect to take along long car rides and road trips. The number of rows easily grow!
The super chunkiness of the yarn is what creates the automatic side scallop. The turning chain 2 itself forms an easy scallop that needs no extra work at all! It was such a pretty surprise for me! When switching to a new skein, this how to join yarn tutorial will help keep your scarf looking seamless.
A great way to finish off the scarf is to make a tassel from yarn. I make 8 tassels, 4 for each side of the scarf, in a contrasting color which added about 12 inches to the total length of the finished scarf. This adds such a fancy dramatic finish to the scarf! You could also add a fringe and here is a an scarf fringe tutorial for beginners
I think the extra-long, over the top tassels simply make this scarf look luxurious!
For this V stitch crochet scarf pattern I used up the entire two skeins of yarn, that’s about 200g of wool for this scarf here. The finished scarf measures 5.5 inches wide by 84 inches long (including the tassels)
For the tassels, I used a bulky white yarn from my stash along with a contrasting ochre yarn to tie and make the tassels.
V stitch crochet scarf pattern Notes
- The side scallop is what makes this scarf super simple yet special to me. I know that the Rico design yarn might be difficult to find, so let me know if you are able to recreate this scarf with other yarns.
- Yarn Substitutions: I’ve also tested this pattern with the more easily available Hometown USA yarn and that works up beautifully too! Bernat Softee Chunky is another great option too. You could any yards of worsted weight yarn you have and increase the starting chain.
- While I started this scarf with an aluminum hook, I switched midway to an ergonomic crochet hook as I felt that was comfortable to my wrist. I would definitely recommend this CLOVER 1053/K Amour Crochet Hook, Size K/6.5mm. After my previous Granny Square Blanket Pattern I’m afraid I got addicted to the ease of using the more expensive hooks.
- If you need to make this scarf in different sizes, you will need to increase your base starting chain. My scarf shown above has a starting ch of 13 and gives 6 V stitch clusters. To make an 8 V stitch clusters scarf you would need to start with a chain of 17 stitches.
- To make this scarf quicker, you can easily reduce the length to measure 65 inches long to complete this scarf quicker.
- As a basic rule, you would need to cast on a multiples of 2 + 1 number of stitches.
