The Teagan scarf is a new crochet pattern that works up quickly using basic crochet stitches. I used shades of purple for an ombre effect but you customize with any color combo. Read through to find out all the details, or scroll to the bottom for the pattern!

It’s no surprise that I love color and color block designs since this is not my first pattern of it’s kind. 😊 While perusing the yarn aisle at my local Hobby Lobby store, these shades of purple caught my eye. The contrasting white really make the colors pop! Of course you can use any worsted weight yarn in the colors of your choosing. (You could also use thinner yarns, just adjust your starting chain using the notes below)

Materials Needed
- Any worsted (#4) weight yarn. I used Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn in Amethyst (1 skein, or 230 yards), Grape (1 skein, or 200 yards), Antique White (1 skein, or 85 yards), and Orchid (1 skein, or 200 yards).
- US size G-7 (4.5 mm) hook, or size needed to obtain gauge.
- Tapestry needle and scissors
Gauge
- 8 SC and 8 rows = 2 inch square
- Finished size is approximately 6.5 inches wide and 71 inches long (not including fringe)
Abbreviations
Ch(s) = chain
HbHDC = Herringbone half double crochet
HDC = half double crochet
RS = right side of work
SC = single crochet
St(s) = stitch(es)
WS = wrong side of work
Notes
- This pattern is written in US standard terms.
- Scarf can be easily adjusted to any size, just chain an even number to start.
- Chain 1 at beginning of row does not count as a stitch.
- 18 rows of the pattern equals 1 color block.
- If you are a tight crocheter, I recommend using ½ hook size larger for the foundation chain and first row then switch to hook size needed for gauge. This will help you to have a straight edge.
Special Stitches
Herringbone Half Double Crochet (HbHDC) – Yarn over, insert hook into stitch. Yarn over, pull through the stitch and the first loop on your hook (2 loops on hook). Yarn over and pull through remaining 2 loops on hook.
The Pattern
With Antique White (color A), ch 24
Row 1 (RS): HDC in 2nd ch from hook. HbHDC in each ch across until 1 remains. HDC in last ch. (st count = 23)
Row 2 (WS): Ch 1 and turn. SC in each st across to end of row. Change to Orchid (color B) with the last loop of the last st. (st count = 23)
Row 3 (RS): With Orchid (color B), Ch 1 and turn. HDC in first st. HbHDC in each st across until 1 st remains. HDC in last st. (st count = 23)
Rows 4 thru 242: repeat Rows 2 – 3, respectively, following the Color Guide below or until desired length. Be sure to end on 2 rows of Antique White (color A) to match the other end of your scarf. Tie off and weave in all ends. Continue to Fringe section (optional).

Fringe (optional)
Begin by cutting 72 14-inch strands, or desired length. I cut 24 strands of each purple color (in hindsight, I should have picked just 1 color 😊).
Start with the first stitch of one edge and attach 3 strands (I did one of each color purple). Continue attaching sets of fringe to every other stitch. I like to start with the first and last stitches to make sure my spacing is correct. There will be 12 sets of fringe total per edge.
Use a larger hook to pull through as pictured then pull snug and trim to desired length. See pictures below from a different project.
