This stashbuster crochet striped scarf pattern is worked up in three colors that are changed after each row so there is no extra ends to weave in. It works up easy, and can be made for men, women and children!
I made my scarf narrow and long, because it allows for a wrap around the neck without bulking too much underneath a jacket. But you can adjust it as you like. The stitch multiple is a multiple of two plus one, so that is super easy to do.
Another beauty of this scarf is the stitch pattern. I used a variation of the seed stitch, so the single crochets are worked into the double crochets and the double crochets into the single crochets. It creates a bit of a drop stitch, but not much. It’s just right for something that can be used for both genders. Simply choose your colors to match the gender and you’re all set.
The only thing I found tedious on this pattern is the untangling of the yarn. I swear I spent just as much time untangling as I did crocheting! But I got through it, and I’m so glad I did because I love how it turned out.
