If you enjoy relaxed crochet projects that work up with nice texture, this scarf is a great one to try. The New York Medley Scarf is crocheted with Scheepjes Wanderlust Medium Weight Yarn and a 4.5 mm hook. It measures 10 inches wide and 50 inches long, and you can easily make it longer or wider using the stitch multiple provided in the pattern. I’ve included row-by-row photos to help you follow along.
You can make this scarf with any yarn and hook you have on hand. I’ve included instructions after the pattern to explain how to adjust the size.
The New York Medley Scarf Pattern was originally designed by Joanita Theron. Joanita sold the full-pattern rights to Oombawka Design, Ltd. This pattern is now available exclusively at Oombawka Design Crochet. This pattern has been rewritten and updated.
