Today I have a tutorial on how to make an easy crocheted fall scarf. As fall is in the air, it seemed fitting to create a tutorial on something warm and cozy! This scarf is perfect for this time of the year, as the colors I use for this project are a lovely blend of blue, green, orange, magenta, and a golden tan.
The yarn I am using is the Red Heart Comfort in Argyle Print, which is a variegated yarn with all these warm, fall colors blended in. It is a number four, medium weight, acrylic yarn. I found this large ball of yarn (649 yards of 593 meters) at Michael’s Canada, but I haven’t been able to find the same yarn online. I did find a very similar style in the Red Heart line (but it doesn’t have the blue and is a smaller ball), and I will put a link to that below in the supply list.
You can really use any yarn you like, but to achieve the same size as mine, you will want to choose a number four medium weight yarn. The scarf measures 7.5″ (19 cm) wide by 66″ (167″) long.
The stitches you need to know for this project are a chain stitch, a single crochet, and a double crochet, so it is great for beginners. If you are new to crochet, I do have my Beginner Crochet Series that teaches you everything you need to know to crochet this scarf.
The supplies you will need for this project are:
- Number 4 medium weight yarn (about 400 yards or 355 meters)
- Crochet hook 5.5 mm or I-9
- Scissors
- Darning needle

The crochet stitch that I am using for this tutorial is known as an Arcade Stitch or an Arch Stitch. It can be made using five or seven double crochets in the arch. Because the Red Heart yarn is so chunky, I am using five double crochets to create the arch.
The pattern repeat is six stitches, so if you wanted to make the scarf wider, you could do so by adding six stitches for each repeat desired. I am using a simple single crochet border for the top and bottom of the scarf, but you could add tassels or crochet a fancier edge if you like.
