I love a good crochet skinny summer scarf pattern, which is really an all season piece. When you crochet a scarf from cotton yarn it allows for a more breathable-warm weather friendly scarf.

Bonus, this easy crochet scarf is made in crochet mesh, which works up super fast.

Wrap it once for a stylish summer scarf or wrap it a couple times for those brisk fall mornings. Where I live the mornings and evening are cool almost year round.

In the summer though, the afternoons can be blazing hot. I love a versatile skinny scarf as a layering piece.

Fit/Adjustments

To adjust the length of your scarf, you will need a multiple of 3, so 3, 6, 9… 33, 36, etc, plus 5 for the starting chain. This pattern is worked on the long side, so your beginning chain will be the length of your scarf.

*If you’d rather work it on the short end, check out the Retta Infinity Cowl. This cotton cowl uses the same crochet mesh but it’s worked on the short end, so there’s no crocheting into a long chain.

To adjust the width of your scarf, you will only need to change your row count. Crocheting more rows will give you a wider scarf, and crocheting fewer rows will make a narrower one.

Keep in mind that any adjustments will effect the amount of yarn needed, so plan accordingly.

Stitches/Abbreviations

ch (s) – chain (s)

dc – double crochet

sk – skip the indicated stitch

st(s) – stitch(es)

rep – repeat

  1. Hi Liz! Blocking is when you lay out your piece and smooth it into shape while wet. Sometimes you’ll need to pin it in place, but likely not on this one. To wet your piece you can either soak it in water or spray it. Then lay it out in position to dry. This works on natural fibers to relax the fibers and set the stitches. It will also lengthen your project or straighten it up. I hope that helps! For more details you can see a little tutorial I did at the end of my Ottobre Shawlette pattern https://christacodesign.com/2017/10/28/ottobre-shawlette-free-crochet-pattern/ on blocking my shawl.

  2. This was a great fast project. I love the scarf. I made two! Thanks for sharing!!

  3. It’s perfect for the high desert. Just enough splash of color. Love the color too. Thank you.

  4. I love the scarf, but the thought of chaining 275 scares me? I wonder if the scarf can be worked vertically! Has anyone ever tried it?

  5. Absolutely! I actually hate working into long chains… not sure if anyone likes it! I chose to work the length of the scarf first for this one to be sure I had the right size so I could keep it to only one skein. If yarn yardage is not an issue you could start on the short end and work the length. I’d recommend starting with 21 (or a multiple of 3) + 5, so chain 26 and follow the instructions from there. I hope that helps!
