Delphine Scarf with Sleeves Crochet Pattern

Seems like for a good chunk of the year I need a light little something to wear around my shoulders. Sometimes that’s a poncho, sometimes that’s a wrap, sometimes that’s a scarf, and sometimes its a scarf with sleeves. The Delphine Scarf with Sleeves is the newest free crochet pattern in my obsession with sleeved scarves. Make your own with this free crochet pattern.

Delphine Scarf with Sleeves

A great accessory for transitional weather, this beautiful scarf with sleeves is a free crochet pattern that features the Star Stitch. This is a gorgeous, plush crochet stitch that works up beautifully with variegated yarn or in solid colors. See a step-by-step tutorial for how to crochet the Star Stitch here.

To wear a scarf with sleeves you’ll insert one arm into one cuff, then wrap the scarf around your body one and a half times (either direction should technically work, but I find going around the back of my body first feels best) and insert the other arm into the opposite cuff. Settle the scarf by wiggling your shoulders a bit and … Voila!

You could also wear this without using the sleeves as a regular scarf.

Last last year I hosted an Advanced Tunisian Crochet workshop during which we learned various advanced techniques used in Tunisian crochet. At the culmination of that 6-week long course I published the Sophia Scarf with Sleeves because it uses practically all of the techniques we learned along the way. For that design we use Brava Recycle yarn from WeCrochet, which is the same yarn we use for this new, traditional crochet version.

Since that Tunisian pattern released I have received requests for a traditional crochet version of this design. And OF COURSE I said yes! I never dreamed it would take me so long to get this gorgeous scarf with sleeves pattern written and published, but I am thrilled that it is now out in the world and ready for your hook. 🧶

When I first started designing this sleeved scarf pattern I tried the Moss Stitch, the Half Treble Crochet Stitch, and even the Mini Bean stitch. Nothing felt right to me… until I remembered the Star Stitch and how gorgeous and plush it is and how lovely of a scarf it would make.

Because we use the Star Stitch, I wanted to name the pattern after a constellation. I found the Delphinus constellation and thought the “Delphine” had such a nice ring to it. Isn’t that pretty?

For this pattern I am using Brava Recycle, a size 3/DK weight yarn that washes up beautifully. The colors on this yarn are a bit muted and speckled, and I love how the light plays off the flecks of darker and lighter yarn fuzzies.

Other great yarn options include Mellowspun from Mary Maxim, Bernat Softee Baby, Brava Recycle, Premier Bamboo Fair, Amigo from Hobbii, Happy Place from Hobbii, Mega Ball from Hobbii, Lion Brand Feels like Alpaca, or any other size 3/DK weight yarn you like.
