Crochet the Tuscan Scarf with just one skein of fingering weight yarn. Designed solely with single crochet stitches, this easy crochet scarf showcases the colors of that special hand dyed yarn.
The Tuscan Scarf is lightweight and simple to style. Use the long end secure the scarf in a loose knot to keep it in place on your neck. Or wrap it and tuck the tail in. This design is easy to crochet and easy to wear.
I was gifted this lovely hank of yarn and I’m thrilled to finally have been able to create a scarf with it. I love how lightweight and simple it is to wear. The single crochet stitches allow the speckled hand dyed colors to shine.
The Tuscan Scarf is crocheted from one tip to the widest end, which means increasing is a breeze with single crochets. The asymmetrical triangle allows for easy styling and wear.

Block
Block your scarf. This will help flatten the curling increase edge, and allow it to lay flat.
I wet blocked by soaking it briefly in tap water.
Then I used a towel to squeeze the water out gently by rolling it out repeatedly. Once it was damp and not dripping, I smoothed it into place on my blocking boards.
If you don’t have blocking mats you can use a clean towel on a floor, table, or bed. I use my Knit Picks blocking mats.
I pinned all the edges down, shaping with my hands as I went. And that’s it, just let it dry from here.
Eccolá, now it’s ready to wear!
