What yarn works best for a crochet men’s scarf?
I used WeCrochet Wool of the Andes Worsted for my scarf. But any smooth yarn with good stitch definition will help showcase the textured stitch pattern. Wool, acrylic, and wool-blend yarns are all excellent choices, depending on your climate and personal preferences. For the best results, follow the yarn recommendations provided in the pattern. I’ve also listed several good substitutions below.
Can I make this crochet scarf longer or shorter?
Yes! Scarves are one of the easiest crochet projects to customize. Simply add or remove rows to adjust the length. A longer scarf offers more styling options, while a shorter scarf creates a classic, streamlined look.

About Tarragon
The Tarragon Scarf was one of those designs inspired by the stitch. I originally used this stitch pattern for one of the sweaters, but found it too bulky and boxy for a garment. So I decided to use it for a scarf and I’m so pleased with the look.
The post stitches in the scarf give it a cabled look without doing too much. It’s crisp, clean, and simple, which is usually how the guys prefer it.
The ribbing trim gives the ends a unique and sophisticated look.
This scarf looks great worn with a favorite sweater, shirt, or jacket. It is both stylish and warm, so it’s great for the cold months of winter. Wear it to a special event, or just every day to work or play.

WeCrochet Wool of the Andes Worsted is used for this men’s crochet scarf. WOTA is made of 100% Peruvian Highland Wool and comes in skeins of 110 yards. You’ll have plenty of colors to choose from, with over 90 colorways included!
