Crochet V-Stitch Scarf Pattern – So Quick!

Want a fast crochet project to make in a weekend? Check out this double crochet v-stitch scarf pattern. It’s beginner-friendly and creates a trendy scarf that’s perfect for gifting or staying cozy in style.

Can you believe I’ve been a crochet blogger for over a decade and I’ve never made a scarf before? I’ve designed dozens of free crochet patterns… but this is my first scarf!

Living in Florida, I’ve never really needed a cozy scarf for cold days. But with several skeins of this stunning blue yarn sitting in my office, I knew it was time. With our annual ski trips to Colorado, I know it’ll be put to good use!

This v-stitch crochet scarf pattern is an ideal project for crocheters of all skill levels. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced crocheter, this pattern will be perfect. I’ve included a helpful video tutorial to help you master the v-stitch, so don’t worry if you’re new to crocheting! 

With its easy repeat – just basic double crochets and chain stitches – this pattern is just right for relaxing while you watch your favorite movie or listen to an engaging audiobook. Isn’t crocheting the perfect way to unwind?

If you’ve been around for a while, you know I love pretty stitch patterns that don’t take a lot of time. The v-stitch technique features tall stitches so it fits the bill perfectly. The double crochet v-stitch creates a drapey fabric, and it works up quickly, too.

If you’re searching for a quick and enjoyable project, this free v-stitch scarf pattern is a fantastic choice. Not only is it beginner-friendly, but it’s also absolutely delightful to work on.

So grab your hooks and let’s get crocheting! You’ll have a finished scarf in no time! 

This free pattern is a great option for donation scarves if you’re looking to give back to your community during the cold winter months.

Materials:

• J/10 (6.00 mm hook) Crochet Hook – this one is my favorite!
• 375 yards of worsted weight yarn – acrylic yarn works well
  • I used a little under 2 skeins of Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn in the shade River Ripple
• Tapestry Needle and Scissors
• The ad-free crochet pattern is available here.

Important Notes:

• Skill level: Beginner/Easy
• My finished scarf measures approximately 8 x 65 inches
• I used worsted weight yarn, but you could make this scarf using a different yarn weight. Whatever yarn you choose, I recommend sizing up one hook from what’s written on the yarn label. Keep in mind, a chunky yarn will create a thicker, denser scarf, and a thinner yarn (like a dk weight yarn) will create a more flowy, light-weight scarf. 
• The turning chain does NOT count as a stitch in this pattern. 
• There is a video tutorial for this pattern available here.

Abbreviations:

• ch – chain stitch
• sc – single crochet
• dc – double crochet 

V-Stitch Scarf Pattern

Using Hobby Lobby ILTY in the shade River Ripple

Chain 30

Row 1: sc in the second chain from the hook and in each chain across. Ch 1, turn. (total number of stitches: 29 sc)

Row 2: dc in the first stitch, skip the next stitch. (dc, ch 1, dc) in the next stitch (this is your first v stitch). *skip two stitches, (dc, ch 1, dc) in the next stitch* across until two stitches remain. Skip the next stitch. Dc in the last stitch. Ch 1, turn. (9 v stitches made, plus you’ll have 1 dc on each end)

Row 3: dc in the first stitch. (dc, ch 1, dc) in each ch 1 space across. Dc in the last stitch. 

Note: to work into the ch 1, space, you’ll insert your hook into the middle of each v-stitch from the previous row. If this seems confusing, don’t forget to watch the video! 

Repeat row 3 until you reach your desired length. I worked 116 rows, but you don’t have to use the same number of rows as I did. 

Final Row: sc in the first stitch and in each stitch across. (total of 29 sc crochet stitches)

Cut yarn and leave a long tail for weaving ends. 

Fringe (Optional)

Since both ends of the scarf have a row of single crochet, this scarf would be fine without a fringe. But, I think the fringe really adds a nice finishing touch!

• To add a fringe to this easy v-stitch scarf pattern, begin by cutting the yarn into 8-10 inch pieces. (You’ll need a total of 58 pieces of yarn.)
• Fold one piece of yarn in half to form a loop. 
• Insert your crochet hook from back to front into one of the single crochet stitches along the edge of the short end of your scarf. 
• Place the loop on the crochet hook and pull the loop through the stitch far enough to create a loop. 
• Pull the ends of the fringe through this opening and tighten the knot to secure the fringe. 
• Repeat this process in each of the 29 stitches along both short ends of your scarf. 
• Again, if this seems confusing, watch the video tutorial!

Adjusting the Size of this Scarf

If you want to adjust the size of this scarf, you’ll want to chain in multiples of 3 until you reach the width you want. Each set of 3 chain stitches increases the width of the scarf by approximately 3/4 of an inch. 

The length is easy to adjust – just keep crocheting until you reach your desired length. Keep in mind that 9 rows adds about 5 inches to your project. 

I hope you enjoyed this v-stitch scarf pattern! If you made it, head on over to Instagram or my Facebook page and share a photo. I love to see my patterns in action!
