My versatile crochet scarf pattern has been thoughtfully designed to suit children and both men and women.
The two-row repeat of the Celtic Weave crochet stitch allows you to tailor this scarf to any length and depending on your yarn colour choices, complement both male and female styles. The choice of adding an optional fringe provides an extra touch of personalization.

Design Inspiration
I needed a gift that would be quick to work up and would be suitable for men or women. To make it that little bit extra special I decided rather than using double/half double crochet I wanted to test different stitch patterns to give it a unique feel.
It’s a gift for the colder months so the scarf needed to have a good thickness and the Celtic weave crochet stitch fit perfectly. I’m really pleased with the overall effect!
How the pattern is worked
- This crochet scarf is worked flat in rows from the bottom up.
- The optional fringe is added at the end.
- The Celtic Weave stitch is made from crocheting around the post of stitches (front post on one row and back post on another). The stitches are crocheted ‘out of order’ so they cross each other. This is achieved by skipping stitches and going back to work in the skipped stitches (this is a similar technique to my braided cable hot water bottle cover). This stitch is worked in a repeating 2-row pattern.

Pattern Notes
- This pattern is written in UK and US Crochet Terms.
- The Celtic Weave crochet stitch is worked in multiples of 4.
- This crochet scarf pattern uses a larger hook than recommended for the yarn as I found it gives a better stitch definition.
- Chain 2 counts as a UK treble / US double (turning chain).
- For a shorter length for a child’s scarf, reduce the rows in multiples of 2.
- When working the back post stitches and working in the skipped stitches, these stitches are tucked away under the first set of back post stitches you made.
- When working through the back of the post, you might find it easier to hold your crochet so your work looks upside down.
- All front post rows the dominant stitches lean to the left
- All back post rows the dominant stitches lean to the right
- Optional fringe uses 2 lengths in each stitch
