HOW TO CROCHET A TRIANGLE SCARF
The triangle crochet scarf pattern is very simple to make. The only stitches you need to know are chain and single crochet. As you will see in the pattern and directions, you will increase the middle stitch by a multiple of 2 every other row. Pretty easy when you get the hang of it.
This is a great base pattern when making a triangle scarf, because there’s so many different things you could do with it. I encourage you to use this pattern and change the hook size and stitches. I think you’ll be amazed at what you can make. All you need to know are the fundamentals to a great crochet piece!
This is what the scarf looks like when you put it on.
As you can see, I added tassels to my crochet scarf. If you want to learn how to make tassels and add them on.

Pattern:
Row 1: ch 3
Row 2: In 2nd ch from hook, sc across (2)
Row 3: ch1, turn, 2 sc in first sts. 2 sc in last stitch (4)
Row 4: ch1, turn, sc across (4)
Row 5: ch1, turn, 2 sc in first sts, sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in last sts (6)
Row 6: ch1, turn, sc across (6)
Row 7: ch1, turn, 2 sc in first sts, sc in next 4 sts, 2 sc in last sts (8)
Row 8: ch1, turn, sc across (8)
Row 9: ch1, turn, 2 sc in first sts, sc in next 6 sts, 2 sc in last sts (10)
Row 8: ch1, turn, sc across (10)
Row 10: ch1, turn, 2 sc in first sts, sc in next 8 sts, 2 sc in last sts (12)
As you can see by the pattern, every other row increases by 2 in the middle and then the following row is a simple repeat of the previous row.
You want to do this until ROW 118, so your last row will be:
Row 118: ch1, turn, 2 sc in first sts, sc in next 114 sts, 2 sc in last sts (118)
When finished, fasten off and weave in all ends.
And there you have it! The cutest crochet triangle scarf!
Happy Hooking!
