I love the granny square stitch pattern and I was excited to try to create a scarf with it, but I wanted to try a little different take on it, so I came up with this granny square chevron scarf pattern. This one works side to side, so you could actually continue on and make a blanket out of it!
I made this one to be a quick, one skein pattern that you can work up and give as a gift right away or keep for yourself. The scarf is 10 inches wide by 38 inches long – perfect to wrap around once and tuck into a jacket or coat.
Materials
- Premier Yarns – Sweet Roll – 245 yards – Black Pepper Swirl or Pink Swirl
- I hook – 5.5 mm
Abbreviations
- ch – chain
- sc – single crochet
- dc – double crochet
- dc3tog – double crochet three together
How to crochet the two stitches in the Granny Square Chevron Pattern
Crochet Granny Square Chevron Scarf Pattern
ch 153
Row 1 – One sc in second chain from hook, one single crochet in every chain to the end of row, turn
Row 2 – ch 3, skip first 3 sc, [3 dc in next sc, skip next 2 st] 3 times, [3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc] in next sc, *[skip next 2 sc, 3 dc in next sc] twice, skip next 2 sc, dc3tog in next sc, skip next 4 sc, dc3tog in next sc, [skip next 2sc, 3dc in next sc] twice, skip next 2 sc, [3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc] in next sc; rep from * until the final section, instead of working the last [3dc, ch 3, 3dc], just work 3 dc and then work 1 dc in last st, turn
Row 3 – ch 3, work 2 dc in the space between the ch 3 and the first dc group, * work 3 dc in each of the next 2 spaces, work a dc3tog in next space, skip the space between the two dc3tog from row below, work a dc3tog in next space, then work 3 dc into next two spaces, then work [3 dc, 3 ch, 3 dc] in next space; repeat from * to end of row, but finish with a 3 dc cluster in last space and then one dc into turning ch space, turn.
Row 4 – ch 3, skip the space between the ch and first dc group, work 3 dc in each of the next 4 spaces, * then work [3 dc, 3 ch, 3 dc] in next space; then work 3 dc in each of the next 2 spaces, work a dc3tog in next space, skip the space between the two dc3tog from row below, work a dc3tog in next space, then work 3 dc into next two spaces, repeat from * to end of row, in last space between the 3 dc group and the last 1 dc work 3 dc, then work 1 dc into the top of the ch 3 from the row before, turn.
Repeat row 3 and 4 to desired width.
I wanted to use my whole roll, so I just kept going until I ran out of yarn, which ended up just past the end of one row.
Tips and Other Ideas
- You could totally work this in stripes with different yarns and it would look awesome too!
- Want a lapghan? Just keep crocheting more rows and you will get there!
- This pattern works in multiples of 35 sts +1, and adding 12 to the foundation chain. So, just keep adding 35 sts to my pattern to make it longer.

I love this scarf pattern and colors. I have done chevron and granny squares before, so I am familiar with the techniques. However, I am having trouble with the “dc3tog”? Please explain how to do this within the pattern. Better yet, is there a tutorial video for this scarf pattern, as you do other videos? Thank you.
I will try to add a video to this post soon! Thanks for the suggestion.
The dc3tog is worked like this – yarn over and insert into next stitch, then pull through 2, then yarn over insert into the same stitch and pull through 2, and yarn over and insert into the same stitch again and pull through 2, then yarn over and pull through remaining loops on hook. So, you are working 3 double crochet stitches together into one stitch and by pulling them together at the end, you leave one stitch for the next row instead of 3.
Thank you! This is very helpful. I am new to your site, but love everything about it. I hope you do have time to add a tutorial video for this pattern; it is lovely! Thanks once again!
Thank you SO much! I will work on that video and get it up soon. I am actually working on another one of these scarves for my daughter, so I can easily do a quick video of the steps.
I added a video for the two stitches you need for this pattern! Thanks for the suggestion. 🙂
How many more stitches are needed to make the scarf longer?
The pattern multiples calls for multiple of 35 sts +1, add 12 for the foundation chain. So, you would add multiples of 35 sts to my pattern to make it longer.
Your video & written pattern don’t match for the valleys; which should I follow? I love the look of this pattern but I’m not getting the stitches to work by the time I get to the 3rd row by following the written pattern.
I am not sure where you are running into trouble? The video shows how to work the two stitches in the pattern. What is not lining up for you? I am happy to chat via email and see if we can figure it out. Just email me at [email protected]
Thanks!
