The Crossroads crochet scarf is a simple, unisex scarf with beautiful cable details down the middle!
Pattern Inspiration
I first created the Crossroads Sweater, and decided I wanted to make some matching accessories!
I went with a crochet scarf because I knew it would look beautiful with the cable stitch combo and would also be a great one unisex project!
The width of the scarf is nice and thick for a cozy, modern feel. It can also be adjusted in length and width to fit your preferences.
Pattern Details
The Crossroads scarf uses a worsted weight (#4) yarn. I used Lion Brand Yarn Heartland for my sample. I love the rich, rustic colors in the Heartland line.
It is also a very soft, but sturdy yarn. However, feel free to use any worsted weight yarn you prefer. The pattern is rated intermediate. However, the pattern comes with step by step written and photo instructions for you to use as you work up the scarf.
And as always, I am available for pattern support if you need it. Just send me an email!
The cables are repetitive and easy to do once you get the hang of it!This scarf is great for both guys and girls. The worsted weight yarn and the cable make it very warm and cozy.
This scarf can be made as long or as short as you prefer. It would look great as a short cowl for a girl! You could just sew the ends together, once you’ve completed it, to make it a cowl.
