The Canyon Scarf is a classic granny triangle pattern. This top down scarf pattern is an easy and relaxing crochet project.

The simple stitches allows a bright and colorful yarn to shine. Add the tassels for a finished and polished look.

This granny triangle scarf is an easy, beginner friendly crochet pattern. I love how simple stitches pair with colorful yarns for a beautiful result.

I was itching to use Hobby Lobby’s Painted Canyon colorway and I think it worked up lovely in this pattern. The self striping yarns are such a breeze to work with-no color planning, less ends to weave = win, win!

This pattern will give you the triangle scarf size pictured: 23.5″ deep by 50″ long. You can continue the pattern to increase your triangle to a full shawl size.

For this scarf I use 3 skeins of Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn in Painted Canyon. I think adding another two skeins (with this gauge and hook) would create a comfortable sized shawl. These granny triangle scarves are so easy to add on to!

I chose to add tassels on my corners, but you could add fringe along the edges or leave it off entirely. Isn’t that the beauty of crochet-customizing it to your liking.

I love how this colorful triangle scarf pairs with the simplicity of a white top. It’s great when the weather is cool in the morning, but you know it’ll be warm by afternoon.

It’s so much fun crocheting with these self striping yarns. I love working through the skeins to see how those colors play out. I don’t know if I could combine colors so well myself.

I laid one longer piece of yarn out and placed the 24 pieces of yarn on it, then used the single piece to tie a knot and secure the yarn together in the center. I threaded the tied end up to tie it on to the scarf. Then I used the other end to wrap around the top of the tassel to form the bulb.

  1. wonderful! i love this granny triangle scarf! the tutorial is so easy, good job!

  13. I’ve admired Painted Canyon for ages – would be so exciting to win & get a chance to work with it!

  16. I’m currently addicted to triangle scarves, tassels, and self-striping yarn so this design is perfect! I think I may be allergic to weaving in ends. Long live the self-striping yarn trend! I recently discovered Hobby Lobby and I’m in love with their yarn, but I’ve never seen this beautiful color.

  17. you have wonderful patterns! I enjoyed scrolling through them. I have never seen this yarn in person, I love the way it worked up

  20. I love this yarn ! have seen it everywhere and want to get my hands on it ! i have also been on a granny stitch kick ♡♡♡ love this amazing tutorial … thankthankthank you ♡

  21. Gorgeous pattern and yarn. Thank you for sharing. And thank you for the opportunity to win.

  23. This is beautiful! And I really love your yarn choice, really eye catching!! Hope I’m the lucky winner!!

  28. I LOVE this yarn … but haven’t known exactly what to make with it. NOW I know!!! This is awesome!!!

  30. Lovely scarf pattern and absolutely beautiful yarn. I am crocheting so many Spring scarves and ponchos right now. They are in demand from a lot of my friends and family members.

  37. Beautiful work!! I love Painted Canyon! I bought a skein for myself and ended up making my aunt a pillow for Mothers Day with it. I’d LOVE to win some more to make her a matching blanket!

  40. Am not much of a fan of working with many colors as that leads to weaving in ends, but I do love projects with many colors, and this yarn is perfect!!!

  62. Yes!! The ends always get me! It’s such a relief to work with self striping yarn ?

  65. Hmmm, there should be a little star ⭐️ button at the bottom of the post. Sorry about that!

  76. Thank you! It’s such a great layering piece this time of year for sure. Good luck!

  91. THAnks for sharing your nice patterns with a lot of photo instructions! For visual learners

  93. LOVE THIS TUTORIAL. I just finished one with turquoise sky color. Haven’t decided if I want tassels or fringe tho. ??

  94. Thank you! I love turquoise, I bet you’re is gorgeous ? I know deciding between the two is hard!!

  99. How do you get your scarf to lay like it does in the picture? I’ve washed mine and even used fabric softener, but it still doesn’t lay like it should. I feel like it’s choking me and it looks like I’m wearing a huge bandana. A video tutorial would be great. Thanks!

  100. Hi Lauren,
    I’m sorry it’s not laying how you want it. It sounds like you’ve tried all the right things. Making it bigger, might help. Or in future, loosening up the tension some-with a bigger hook. I’ll have to see about doing a tutorial on the next one I make!
