Matteo Textured Crochet Scarf a Free Pattern

The Matteo Textured Crochet Scarf Pattern is a free scarf pattern. A perfect scarf to crochet in neutrals, as the interest comes with the textured stitch. A suitable crochet scarf for men or women, it’s a versatile pattern.

The companion scarf to the Matteo Beanie is here! What really pushed me to finally rework the beanie was that the friend to whom I gifted the original hat requested a matching scarf.

Isn’t that the best? When a recipient of your handmade gift uses it. And adores it, and even asks for more?! How could I refuse?

Just like the beanie the scarf has that same texture of alternating post stitches with double crochets. Since the scarf is worked flat, we’ll be adding the back post double crochet as well. But it’s still a simple two row repeat once you get going!

I decided on a 6″ width for this scarf but you can make yours as wide or narrow as you like. You’ll need to keep an odd stitch count if you make any adjustments, but that’s it.

I could just gaze into this texture all day. Really, it’s mesmerizing. Lion Brand’s Heartland has just enough subtle color variance in it.

This medium weight yarn works up great in this pattern. When there is that much texture a neutral color definitely pops more than usual.

Gauge

4”/10cm x 4”/10cm= 13 sts x 8.5 rows in the pattern

Finished Scarf

6.5”/16.5cm wide x 73″/185cm long

Fit/Adjustments

To adjust the width of your scarf, you need an odd number. As written, this scarf works up at 6.5″/16.5cm wide.

To lengthen the scarf, just continue the two row repeat until you’ve reached your desired length. As written, scarf works up to 73″/185cm long. I gifted this one to a 6’/1.8m tall man and I would say it’s a small scarf on him. Not too long, so it’s easy to wear.

If you want a shorter scarf, stop the repeat earlier. Just be sure to stop after a Row 4 repeat.

Any changes will effect the amount of yarn used, so plan accordingly.
