Winter Sky Scarf Pattern

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

The Winter Sky Scarf Pattern is my January Scarf of the Month Club CAL Pattern. This textured crochet scarf is worked in rows and features divided sections of post stitches. The finished scarf is warm and easy to wear.

For this project you will need Chunky Weight / Bulky Weight Yarn and a 6 mm (J) crochet hook.

Visit me next week to get the coordinating hat (the Winter Sky Hat).

Disclaimer: The yarn used for this project was given to me by King Cole Yarns. If you’d like to try their yarns you can find your local King Cole Yarn Stockist here. Find all my free crochet patterns designed using King Cole Yarn here.

The Yarn I used

For my Winter Sky Scarf I used 7.6 oz (215 g) / 359 yds (327 m) King Cole Shadow Chunky yarn, in the shade Mercury (4008).

Shadow Chunky Yarn is 100% Premium Acrylic and I love the shades that were blended for each ball of yarn. There aren’t any significant color stripes or chunks as the shades flow into each other so perfectly. The colors have a bit of a watercolored look to them and there is a soft lustre to the stitches when the light hits them.

This yarn is great for winter wearables and bonus! it is machine washable and dryable too.

Helpful Tutorials

Notes:

• Foundation double crochet multiple: 2
• I used a foundation double crochet to begin but you can easily use a foundation chain instead.
• Foundation chain multiple: 2+1
• The initial ch-2 counts as 1 hdc.
• When I work into the foundation chain, I prefer working into the back bar (back bump) of the chain. This gives the edge a more finished look and is visually the same as the top of the stitches from the final row you will be working for the scarf.  You can work under the back loop only if you prefer.
• To change the scarf width, chain until you reach your desired scarf length and make sure you have a number of chains you can divide equally by 2, then add 1 additional ch.
• The back bar is also referred to as the third loop. It is the loop that is directly behind and below the back loop, on the back (WS) of the work.
