Dreaming of Spring Triangle Scarf

Stay warm and cozy with this easy crochet triangle scarf! This pattern uses Red Heart Dreamy yarn and lots of fringe to give a cool boho vibe!

I may be dreaming of warmer days and spring-y crochet projects, buuuut it’s still very much winter here in upstate New York. Since it’s only 29 degrees here today and we are supposed to get 4 more inches of snow this weekend, I thought I would share one last winter weather project.

I call this the Dreaming of Spring Crochet Triangle Scarf for obvious reasons! But maybe not so obvious is that this scarf uses the super soft and fuzzy Dreamy yarn from Red Heart (My kids thought the play on words was a little too “corny mom joke,” but I think it’s clever so I’m sticking with it!)

This pattern is basically just a simple two row repeat that is fairly quick and mindless once you get going. The main stitch is half double crochet with just a few rows of triple crochet thrown in for contrast. The open and airy stitch pattern works well with the slightly bulky Dreamy yarn.

Tips for Beginners

I remember finding triangle scarves a bit intimidating when I was a beginner to crochet. If this your first go at it, my best tips are: count your stitches after each row (at least until you get going), make sure each long “side” of the triangle has the same number of stitches after each row, and keep your turning chains loose.

Also, note that every row will start with 3 stitches in the first stitch (turning chain + 2 stitches) and end with 3 stitches in the last stitch.

The finishing touch on this beauty is lots of flowy fringe. This is optional of course, but I think it gives the scarf more of a boho vibe, which I love!

Anyone else squeezing in a few late winter projects or are you thinking spring? Either way, happy making! 🙂

Dreaming of Spring Crochet Triangle Scarf Pattern

SKILL LEVEL

Easy (Level 2)

MATERIALS

• One 8.8oz (466 yard) ball of Red Heart Dreamy Yarn (in Grey)
• Size K hook (6.5mm)
• Scissors, Tapestry needle

DIMENSIONS

54” x 24”

GAUGE

12 sts x 8 rows in HDC = 4” square

NOTES

• This crochet triangle scarf is made beginning at the center and worked in turned rows to expand the size. Pay close attention to the increases at the beginning and end of each row. This is often where stitch counts get off.
• It’s helpful to check stitch counts at the end of each row until you get the hang of the pattern. Each long side of the triangle should have the same number of stitches.
• The Ch 2 at the beginning of each row should be worked loosely and DOES count as a stitch.
• When using Dreamy yarn, it’s best to pull from the outside of the ball rather than the center.

FRINGE

• Cut 14” lengths of yarn (You’ll need 226 pieces to add fringe every other stich as I did).

Tip: Use a book, piece of thick cardboard, or other sturdy object that is about 14” long to speed up the cutting process! Just wrap your yarn snugly around and around the book until you get a fairly thick chuck of yarn (but not so thick that you can’t cut through it!).

Lay the book on a flat surface and press firmly on the yarn to keep it from sliding while you cut through the loops of yarn on the top and bottom of the book. You should end up with two stacks of evenly cut yarn! You may need to repeat this process a few times, but it is much faster than cutting each piece one-by-one!

• Holding two strands together, fold them in half.
• Starting with the first stitch on one corner, insert your hook and grab the loop made by folding your two strands in half.
• Pull loop through the stitch, stopping about halfway down the folded over yarn.
• Now reach through the loop, grab the yarn tails (with hand or hook) and pull them through the loop. Pull tails to tighten.
• Continue making fringe in every other stitch down one side of the triangle. Place one fringe in the Ch 2 space, and continue doing every other stitch down the second side of the triangle. Trim any uneven fringe and you’re done!
