Free Simple Crochet Scarf Pattern, Honey Scarf

Hi there! I’m so glad you’re here. This is the Honey Scarf, a simple crochet scarf worked in V stitches and little double crochet clusters. I made mine in a soft golden yarn.

I hope you enjoy making it as much as I enjoyed designing it. If you have any questions, leave a comment below. Happy crocheting!

Quick answer: This free simple crochet scarf pattern uses Aran weight (#4) yarn and a 5.5 mm hook. Chain 195 plus 3, then work a six row repeat (Rows 4 to 9) of V stitches and double crochet clusters. I used 1.5 skeins of Hayfield Bonus Aran. Make it as wide as you like by adding repeats, and as long as you like by adding chains. Full written pattern and video below.

Why did I name it the Honey Scarf?

I was working on this crochet scarf pattern, and I was using a beautiful honey colored yarn. I loved the way the yarn looked and felt, and I wanted to give the scarf a name that reflected that.

When I thought about the word “honey” for a while, I realized that it was perfect for this scarf. Honey is warm, sweet, and inviting, just like the scarf. It’s also a symbol of comfort and protection, which I think is important for a scarf.
