2021 Warmth a Winter Scarf Pattern

When you purchase through links on my site, I may earn an affiliate commission.
Here’s how it works.

The 2021 Warmth a Winter Scarf is my December Scarf of the Month Crochet Along Pattern. This is a thermal stitch winter scarf pattern.

This wonderfully warm and thick scarf is another great gender neutral project.

The scarf is crocheted using the half double crochet thermal stitch, which produces a sturdy fabric that is not stiff and the scarf still has great movement. I love how the scarf feels when I pinch it between my fingers, it has that squish factor that makes for a great cold weather wearable.

To make my Warmth a Winter Scarf, you will need Medium Weight Yarn [4] and a 6 mm (J) hook. I’m including a quick video tutorial for the thermal half double crochet stitch so you can get started on this winter crochet project straight away.

Special Stitches

Thermal stitches are worked the same as regular stitches, except for which loops of the stitches we work beneath. You will be working under the back loop of the stitch in the current row and the remaining front loop of the stitch from the previous row, simultaneously. This creates a double thick fabric.

Work under these loops Oombawka Design Crochet Thermal Stitch

Thermal Half Double Crochet Stitch (thdc)

Yarn over your hook and insert your hook under the back loop of the next stitch and under the remaining front loop of the stitch directly beneath it, in the previous row, yarn over and pull up a loop (you have 3 loops on your hook). Yarn over and pull through the remaining 3 loops to complete the stitch.

Thermal Slip Stitch (tslst)

Insert your hook under the back loop of the next stitch and under the remaining front loop of the stitch directly beneath it, yarn over and pull up a loop and pull that loop through the loop on your hook to complete the stitch.

Notes:

  • Multiple of 1 (plus 2 for the turning chain) (Understanding Stitch Multiples)
  • When I work into the foundation chain, I prefer working into the back bar (back bump) of the chain. You can work under the back loop only if you prefer.
  • The turning ch-2 does not count as a stitch and we do not work into it.
  • You may customize the length of this thermal stitch scarf by working the repeat as many, or as few times as you wish.
