If you’re looking for a cozy, stylish, and quite easy crochet scarf pattern, I’ve got the perfect project for you!
Let me introduce you to the Flourish Linen Wrap – a scarf that’s as fun to make as it is to wear. This free pattern uses the linen stitch (also called the moss stitch), which is one of my favorite stitches.
Not only is it beginner-friendly, but it also creates a beautiful, textured chevron design.
What makes this free pattern crochet scarf special? Well, I came up with a clever way to avoid cutting your yarn after every row, which means you’ll finish this scarf with only four ends to weave in. Yes, only four!
If you’re like me and find weaving in ends a bit tedious, this trick will save you a lot of time and effort.
This scarf is great for adventurous beginner crocheters looking for a new project, but it’s also fun for advanced crocheters who want something simple yet beautiful.
Plus, I’ve included a video tutorial to help guide you through the process. So grab your mm crochet hook and your favorite yarn, and let’s dive into this free crochet scarf pattern!
Why the Linen Stitch is Perfect for Scarves
The linen stitch is an absolute joy to work with. It’s made up of basic crochet stitches—mainly single crochet stitches and chains – so it’s easy to learn if you’re new to crocheting.
But don’t let its simplicity fool you. This stitch creates a stunning texture that looks great in any project, especially crochet scarves.
It’s also super versatile – you can use different yarn weights, from worsted weight yarn to super bulky yarn, and the results will always be lovely.
For this free pattern crochet scarf, I used self-striping yarn to add color transitions without having to switch between multiple yarns. You can also go for different colors or even a solid shade, depending on your style. Whether you prefer neutral tones or bold brights, the linen stitch really lets the yarn shine.
The Flourish Linen Wrap is worked in a chevron design, which adds a beautiful wave pattern to the fabric. It’s the perfect mix of texture and design, making this scarf a real showstopper.
And trust me, once you start, you’ll find the stitch pattern so relaxing that you won’t want to put it down!
My Favorite Trick: No Cutting Yarn Between Rows!
One of the biggest challenges with multi-color projects is the endless cutting of yarn and weaving in all those ends.
For the Flourish Linen Wrap, I wanted to make the finishing process as easy as possible. So, I figured out a way to work two rows on the right side, followed by two rows on the wrong side, which allows you to keep using the same strand without cutting it.
This means that when you finish, there will be only four ends to weave in – two at the beginning and two at the end. It’s a real game-changer!
This free pattern crochet scarf itself is a simple four-row repeat. By alternating between two strands of yarn, you’ll create a striking chevron design.
I used Scheepjes Whirl yarn cakes, which gave me a beautiful gradient color transition. However, if you want to experiment with scrap buckets or create a single color scarf, this pattern is flexible enough to handle it.
No matter which yarn type you choose, the results will be stunning. Just remember that different yarn weights and hook sizes will affect the final look of your scarf, so be sure to check your gauge to get the appropriate size for your project.
Customizing Your Free Pattern Crochet Scarf
What I love most about this free pattern crochet scarf is how customizable it is. The pattern is worked in multiples of 42 stitches plus 2, which means you can easily adjust the width by adding or removing chains from your foundation row.
Want a wider wrap? Just add more chains. Prefer a narrower scarf? Reduce the number of chains. It’s that simple!
You can also play around with the length of the scarf. The pattern is a simple four-row repeat, so you can add or subtract repeats to make the scarf as long (or short) as you like.
If you’re making it as a warm scarf for the winter months, you might want to make it longer and wrap it around multiple times, like a cozy infinity scarf pattern.
If you’re going for something lighter, fewer rows will give you a great layering piece for any time of year.
