Free Crochet Pattern Sundae Scarf

For this design I finally gave in and tried a budget yarn from Action, the Alison & Mae Sundae Cake. It’s a soft, self‑striping yarn with gorgeous colors. It’s incredibly affordable, so if you’re working with a small budget, you can make this entire scarf for about €5 worth of yarn. And honestly, the quality surprised me, it works up beautifully. The scarf can also be made with any other DK‑weight yarn if you prefer a different fiber or color palette.

The stitch pattern for this scarf is very simple and perfect for beginners. You can follow along with the video tutorial for the stitch, or use the written pattern if you prefer. You’ll repeat just two rows throughout the entire project. It’s the kind of pattern that settles into such a lovely flow you won’t want to put it down.

I’m happy to share this pattern with you. Below you’ll find the materials, a video tutorial of the stitch used, and the full written instructions so you can start your new scarf project.

Measurements

My scarf measures approximately 164 cm (64.5 inches) long × 33 cm (13 inches) wide after blocking. Because I’m small, this length suits me perfectly. I used both cakes completely, so if you want a longer scarf, make sure to buy an extra ball.

10 cm (4 in) = about 7 rows
10 cm (4 in) = about 17 stitches

Want to adjust the size? You can change the length by simply crocheting more rows. I recommend finishing on a row 3 repeat to get the nicest wavy edge. To adjust the width, you can add or subtract a multiple of 6 chains in your foundation chain.

Crochet Pattern Sundae Scarf

Chain a multiple of 58.

Row 1

For the best result, work the first row into the back bumps of the foundation chain. If you’re not familiar with this technique, you can find a tutorial here.

2 dc 4th ch from the hook, dc5tog across the next 5 ch. *5 dc into the next ch, dc5tog across the next 5 ch*. Repeat between * and * until you have 1 ch left. Work 3 dc into the last ch of the row. Turn.

Row 2

Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc), 1 dc into the 2nd stitch of the row, 1 dc in each stitch until the end of the row. Work the last dc of the row into the turning ch of the previous row. Turn.

Row 3

Ch 3, 2 dc into the first stitch, dc5tog across the next 5 stitches. *5 dc into the next stitch, dc5tog across the next 5 stitches*. Repeat between * and * until you’ve reached the turning ch of the previous row, work 3 dc into the turning ch. Turn.

Rows 4 t/m 121

Keep repeating rows 2 and 3.

If you want a different scarf length, simply crochet fewer or more rows. For the best finish, end with a repeat of row 3, this gives the edge its nicest, wavy look.

Fasten off and weave in your ends, and you’re all set to stay warm during the cooler days ahead. Enjoy your scarf!
