Rainbow Chevron Crochet Scarf Pattern

This easy to make chevron scarf just takes a few hours to whip up and is a great way to get rid of scrap yarn.

I love this scarf!  I whipped out two the night before my Disco Abba Party and they were a hit!

The crochet chevron patter is super simple and easy to adapt! My parents were given a full size chevron crochet blanket for their wedding that I still remember fondly!

Rainbow Chevron Crochet Scarf

materials:
medium weight yarn
K- 6.5 mm hook (or any other hook for a tighter or looser scarf!)

abbreviation:
ch (chain)
sl st- (slip stitch)
dc (double crochet)
dc2tog (double crochet 2 together)

ch 212:

Row 1 – dc in 3rd chain from hook (first 2 ch count as first dc here and throughout) dc in next 4 ch, dc2tog in next ch *dc2tog in next ch, dc in next 4 ch, 2dc in next 2 ch, dc in next 4 ch, dc2tog in next ch* repeat between ** across to the last 7 ch, dc in next 4 ch, dc2tog in next 2 ch, finish off and cut yarn with a long tail.

Row 2-7 -change color-  sl st in first stitch, ch 2, dc in the same stitch as the sl st, dc in next 4 stitches, dc2tog in next stitch, *dc2tog in next stitch, dc in next 4 stitches, 2dc in next 2 stitches, dc in next 4 stitches, dc2tog in next stitch* repeat between ** across to the last 7 stitches, dc in next 4 stitches, dc2tog in next 2 stitches, finish off and cut yarn with a long tail.

The pattern in pictures, with some other tips and tricks thrown in:

Ch 212
(this is the length of the scarf, you can do any length you like, just in groups of 14 plus 2, for the tutorial I’m showing you 2 chevrons, so 28 + 2 I started with a ch 30)

For Row 1- dc in 3rd ch from hook

For Row 2-7 we’ll be changing color every row- sl st in first stitch, ch 2, dc in same stitch that you just sl st from

(Now EVERY row): dc in next 4 stitches, dc2tog in the next stitch

This is where the repeat starts:  *dc2tog in next stitch, 2dc in next 2 stitches,

dc in next 4 stitches, and dc2tog* repeat between ** across the ch or row until  you get to last 7 stitches.  End with dc2tog, dc in 4 stitches and 2dc in the last stitch finish off every color for every row!

I did the tutorial piece with an I-5.5 hook, but the actual scarf with a K-6.5 hook.  You can see the difference.  Feel free to use any hook you want to get the look you desire!

Also you can use any yarn you have, mine are all left overs from other projects, with even slightly different brands and weights and feels and it looks just fine.

You can choose to start on the same side every time or go back and forth as if you were working with the same yarn and turning at the ends of the rows. 

I did the turning, but wish I had started on the same side every time, I think it would have made the rows more even.  See how the green and orange rows look thinner? It’s because these are the “wrong” side while the red, yellow and blue are the “right” side!

      Thanks! I’m kind of wishing I’d just done a full scarf in the tutorial colors, looking at the pictures I’m loving how it turned out as well as the rainbow one!

    I love it! The zigzig is one of my favorite patterns to crochet (you know, the once I actually sat down and did it 🙂 because it is easy to remember and not so easy to mess up 🙂 Great job!

    did you mean on row one dc in third ch from hook AND IN EACH CHAIN TO END?

      Nope, that would create a straight line, and we’re going for a chevron (or ripple) effect. I mean just what I said for row one. But thank you for your concern

      Crochet is actually much faster and even easier than knitting in some ways! Good luck.

    Row 2-7 -change color- sl st in first stitch, ch 2, dc in the same stitch as the sl st, dc in next 4 stitches, dc2tog in next stitch, *dc2tog in next stitch, dc in next 4 stitches, 2dc in next to stitches,

    At the end of the quote above where it says “2dc in next to stitches” — Do you mean 2dc in next two stitches ? Or do you mean next to stitches like going on to the next stitches? That part is confusing me.

    Thanks.

    are you just weaving in the ends of each color when you are done? I’m not sure why you show them long and left after each round?

      I already finished the scarf when I decided to do a tutorial, so I just threw together an example, it’s actually not much longer than you see in the pictures. And for the real scarf I like to do things one at a time, so I did the full scarf first then weaved in all the ends at once, rather than crochet, weave, crochet, weave, I think it goes faster that way. But it’s just personal preference.

    Doesn’t the chevron pattern usually have the same amounts of “peaks” and “valleys”? Your pattern says;
    “Row 1 – dc in 3rd chain from hook (first 2 ch count as first dc here and throughout) dc in next 4 ch, dc2tog in next ch *dc2tog in next ch, dc in next 4 ch, 2dc in next 2 ch, dc in next 4 ch, dc2tog in next ch* repeat between ** across to the last 7 ch, dc in next 4 ch, dc2tog in next 2 ch, finish off and cut yarn with a long tail.”
    Which would make it begin and end with dc2tog, more “valleys than peaks. Your pattern also states that you should work 4 dc between the last dc2tog of the repeat and the final one, which would make an odd downward curve. Also, 4 dc and a dc2tog only adds up to 6 stitches not 7, is there something missing?
    If I have read this incorrectly please let me know.

      I’ve never heard that chevron rule – I just go until it’s long enough – but as you can see the full scarf I made each end is the same – peak or valley – going up on both ends – the way I wrote it it begins with a peak and ends with a valley though – but you can just do it a little longer and end however you want

      the dc2tog make ONE stich – the 4 dc make 4, then the 2dc in on sitch make 2 – so 1 plus 4 plus 2 is 7 – on the other side it starts with the 2dc in one, then the 4, then the dc2tog – so again 2 plus 4 plus 1 equals 7 – you can end with whichever set of 7 you want.

    Hi Ashlee, I am new to crochet and find this pattern so pretty, I would like to try my hand at it. I’ve looked at your pattern and can’t seem to find the quantity of yarn required…. where can I find that info.

    Thanks
