A Cozy Knit Look Crochet Scarf Pattern

My latest free crochet pattern is a knit-look crochet scarf. It’s cozy, warm, and perfect for the wintertime.

This pattern is made with super bulky weight yarn and uses basic crochet stitches, like half double crochet. It’s a fun fast crochet project!

So if you like knit-like textures and working with chunky yarns, I think you’ll love working up this pattern.

Crochet Stitches That Look Knitted

One thing that I love about this scarf is the texture. I love how you can use basic crochet stitches to create a knit-like effect.

So in this pattern, you will be making 2 different versions of half double crochet. The first one you will make is your basic half double crochet, then you will make a half double crochet in the back loop, and then you’ll make a half double crochet in the third loop.

By repeating these stitches every other row, you get a knitted look. Pretty neat right?

Alright, so now that we’ve got that covered, let’s talk about the yarn.

The Yarn You’ll Need for This Crochet Scarf

For this crochet pattern, you will need 3 skeins of a number 6 super bulky weight yarn. I used Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick yarn in the color Gray Marble. It’s an acrylic/wool blend mix that’s perfect to use for scarves.

As the name states, it’s a super thick yarn that works up quickly! It’s also really soft and comes in a variety of different colors. I loved using this yarn for this project and definitely recommend it, however, any number 6 weight yarn will do.

You could even double up a worsted weight yarn to create a bulky yarn, so check your yarn stash to see what you have.

Alright, let’s get into the pattern.
