Chunky Crochet Ruffle Scarf Pattern
This easy crochet ruffle scarf actually has a very interesting story behind it. You see, I’ve had the idea to make a chunky ruffle scarf pattern for quite some time… months in fact!
But I worried that this cute ruffled scarf would look too chunky, and that it might not appeal to what’s trendy or popular right now.
So, I stuffed this idea away in my “later” basket for nearly half a year. I tried working on different projects instead- things I thought would be more popular on Pinterest, to emulate my favorite big crochet bloggers.
But those projects just weren’t making me happy. My heart wasn’t in it, and I was stumbling through complex math and getting more and more frustrated with crocheting.
Finally, I completely frogged that shawl pattern (twice, actually!) and decided I didn’t want to spend my limited crochet time feeling angry at my yarn.
So, I dropped all my expectations for myself. I told myself, use the yarn you want. Pick the colors that soothe you.
Don’t worry about what anyone else thinks. Just create, for the sake of it.
And this scarf was born, just about an hour later.
This scarf is a bit on the shorter side. I made it for my daughter, who just turned 4 years old.
If you use a shawl pin to clip it together instead of wrapping it twice around the neck, it works on an adult too. To modify this scarf and make it longer, you would be able to start with a foundation chain of 100 or 110 if you used a third ball of yarn.
I hope you feel encouraged to just be yourself, and crochet something you enjoy today. (Maybe even this scarf!)
