Simple Chevron Scarf Crochet Pattern
Do you like to crochet chevron patterns? I love how quickly they work up and how difficult they look to crochet – when they absolutely are not! Once you get into the rhythm of the stitch, crocheting them are a breeze.
Chevrons can be intricate and require more mental focus, or they can be extremely simple, as in this free chevron scarf pattern.
Here are some of my other favorite chevrons designs:

With simple Half Double Crochet stitches we’ll create a NEW scarf that is quick, simple, and stunning.
This year I am trying to be more mindful in my gift giving. I love to give handmade to the people I care about most, and tailoring to their individuality is such a wonderful way to show just how much you value them and their presence in your life.
This chevron scarf uses Mighty Stitch, a lovely acrylic, superwash wool blend that has such a gorgeous sheen to it. You will need just one ball of each colorway, three balls total or about 600 yards. Note that the “conch” colorway pictured here has been discontinued. 🙁

There are 168 rows in total? Just wanting to make sure.
If I wanted to make this wider, what are the counts to widen this?
Hi Malissa! You would want to add chains in multiples of 15.
Nice pattern and I’m working on this now. My friend asked me to make it with 2 colors (for an Auburn game). When you switched colors did you end off each color or did you somehow carry the colors up? I appreciate your time, thank you!
Hi Denise! I cut the yarn for each color change.
I am having trouble. I do the 5 hdc hdc2tg skip 2 hdc2tg 5 hdc 3 hdc 5 hdc hdc2tg skip 2 hdc2tg 5 hdc 3 hdc 5 hdc2tg then it end with 2 hdc. What am I doing wrong.
Hi Meredith! If you could send a pic to sarah@hearthookhome.com, we can try to get this figured out for you.
I’m working on this as well. Not being used to those instructions, I supposed the hdc2tog over 4 means, 1 hdc, skip 2 and finish second hdc. So only 2 hdc. At first I worked 2 hdc in each of the four stitches, welp, that was wrong d/t the 2 skipped stiches. Good luck! I’m going to keep at it til I get it right
Hi Connie! For the hdc2tog over 4 chains, you will yarn over, insert hook into next ch (3 loops on hook), skip 2 chs, yarn over and insert hook in next ch (5 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through all 5 loops on hook. Hope this helps!
Chevron is my absolute favorite stitch in the crochet world. Your pattern works up quick! It’s cozy, and with the hdc being worked in the back loop it makes the stitches stand/pop! To every crocheter out there- a new pattern is just the excuse we need to increase our Yarn Stash and with after holiday sales- go go go make this!!!!!!!!! Thank you for your talent thank you for this wonderful pattern.
