This Herringbone Double Scarf Pattern is warm and cozy and easy to make. This crochet stitch creates a finished fabric with a slanted woven look that is incredibly easy to create! BONUS: You can make this scarf with any yarn and hook combination.
Be sure to check my “You can use any yarn and hook to make this project!” section at the end of the post. I explain how you can use any yarn and hook to make your project. Plus, you can make this in any size, just by changing the number of starting chains, or the number of rows you crochet.

Herringbone Double Scarf Pattern
The Yarn I used for this project:
For my Herringbone Double Scarf I used 6.6 oz (190 g) and 300 yds (275 m) of King Cole Ultra Soft Chunky yarn.
King Cole Ultra Soft Chunky available in 12 different colors with light pastels as well as bright jewel tones. This Premium Acrylic Yarn has a light twist to the ply that helps to create beautiful stitch definition.
This yarn is beautifully soft and cozy. The colors are consistent through the entire ball and there is a soft sheen to the yarn strand. The thickness of the strand was consistent for the entire project and I did not run into any knots or tangles as I worked from the center of the ball.
You can see all the pretty shades available in King Cole Ultra Soft Chunky here.

Notes:
- Stitch multiple of 1
- The initial ch 3 counts as 1 hbdc
- 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.
- To make this scarf longer, chain more stitches. To make this scarf wider, work more rows. Finish off after working an odd numbered row to have the top and bottom edges match.
