Seaglass Ruffle Scarf Crochet Pattern

This post may contain affiliate links. For more details, see my disclosure page.

Pretty stacked shell stitches combine with easy double crochet ruffles for a quick scarf that’s both warm and delicate. You’ll love how fast it works up!

Since you crochet the ruffle after the main body of the scarf, this pattern is completely adjustable! My scarf is just about right for an adult woman at 72″ long and 6″ wide (8.5″ wide counting the crochet ruffle), but I think it would look so pretty as a wider super scarf, too!

How do you crochet a ruffle?

Ruffles are SO simple to make! Even a beginner with a project or two under their belt could attempt this pattern.

If you know how to increase by working 2 stitches into the same space, you can crochet a ruffle!

For this pattern, you make a crochet ruffle by adding rows of increasing double crochet along the side of your completed scarf. Because the stitches are doubled, they’ll naturally have to ruffle to fit in the shorter space.

Materials You’ll Need to

• J/6.0mm Crochet Hook – I used my Furls Streamline for this project.
• 2 skeins Lion Brand Wool Ease, worsted [4] weight, 80% Acrylic yarn/20% wool, 3oz/85g; 197yds/180m, shown in Blush Heather
  My scarf used a little less than 2 skeins of this yarn, so between 300 and 400 yards should do. Of course, if you adjust the length, or even if your gauge is slightly different than mine, your yardage requirements will vary.
• Yarn Needle
• Scissors

Abbreviations

Ch- chain; Dc- double crochet; Sc- single crochet; Sk- skip; Sl- slip; St- stitch;

Gauge / Finished Size

72″ long by 6″ wide, 8.5″ wide with ruffle

Special Stitches

Shell stitch: 5dc in next st.

This stitch will be written out in the pattern, but not the stitch counts- that makes it a lot quicker to make sure you’re following the pattern accurately!

Notes

Turning chains do NOT count as a stitch throughout.

To adjust the scarf’s length, simply repeat until your desired length.

To adjust the width of your scarf, work your starting chain in a multiple of 6 +2.
