Concept and Design
If you are familiar with my work, you will recognize the name of this pattern. I designed the Bram triangle scarf a few months back and really loved the texture created by having different stitch sections. I thought it would also make for a really beautiful wrap or scarf. Since I couldn’t decide, I designed the Bram scarf as an oversized scarf that can also be worn as a wrap. Of course, if you do not like your scarves this wide, the Bram scarf can easily be altered to your desired dimensions. I had enough yarn left over that I added a border to my scarf. This is completely optional – I just wanted to even out the edges a bit. And, I love when I can use up all my yarn for a project!
Yarn
When I hand dye yarn, I love to use WeCrochet’s bare Swish Dk. It’s the some of the softest and squishiest yarn that I have ever used. It’s also 100% superwash merino wool which is really nice. So, when I discovered that they also sold this yarn in a myriad of colors, I was eager to use it for this project! Even though it’s February, I am super ready for spring and all the bright and cheery crochet makes that comes with it. I wanted to make the Bram scarf in a salmon/pink/peach color and thought Conch would be a nice fit. The color is even prettier in person – more of a coral that would add a really nice to touch to so many spring outfits! Swish Dk yarn also comes in some really beautiful jewel tones (like Rainforest Heather, Garnet, and Indigo to name a few) if you want to make more of a wintry colored scarf.
As always, you can substitute with any #3 Dk weight in the color of your choosing. This pattern can also be made in any weight yarn, just know that hook and yardage will vary from mine. Whether you choose solid or variegated yarn – you are sure to have a stunning new piece for your wardrobe!
Thank you to WeCrochet for providing the yarn for this project!

- Chain 1 or 2 at beginning of row does not count as a stitch.
- [ ] = work all stitches inside brackets in the same stitch/space as indicated.
- You can easily alter the width of your scarf, just chain an odd number to start.
- If you do not like the look of a Herringbone HDC, you can substitute with a regular HDC.
- If you are a tight crocheter, I recommend going up ½ a hook size to complete the foundation chain and row 1. Use hook needed to obtain gauge for the rest of your project. This will make your edge straighter.
