There’s something about back-to-school season that gets me thinking about crisp autumn days. And there’s just something about crisp autumn days that gets me thinking about mustard yellow. It really is the best condiment-inspired color, isn’t it?!
This crochet triangle scarf free pattern is part of an ongoing partnership with Lion Brand Yarn. This post contains affiliate links.
For this crochet triangle scarf free pattern, I got to try Lion Brand’s Merino Yak Alpaca yarn, which is filled with beautiful, nature texture and comes in a color palette that just sings “pumpkin spice latte season!” I had a really hard time deciding which color to leave out of this design, but once I began working, these five colors felt perfect together.
A Bead Stitch Variation
While the stitch of this triangle scarf might look sort of like a granny stitch-bobble hybrid, it’s actually a variation on the bead stitch.
This stitch lends just enough squishiness to this scarf to keep it warm and comfy, while still maintaining a casual drape to give you that “Oh this? Yeah, I-just-whipped-it-up-and-then-threw-it-on” vibe.

Supplies:
So you can spend more time crocheting and less time shopping, this pattern contains affiliate links at no extra cost to you.
• Lion Brand LB Collection Merion Yak Alpaca (Weight: 4/medium – 126 yds, 1.75 oz)
– Color A: Navy (1 skein)
– Color B: Sage (1 skein)
– Color C: Mustard (1 skein)
– Color D: Teal (1 skein)
– Color E: Oatmeal (1 skein)
• Tapestry needle
• Size K (6.5 mm) crochet hook
• Stitch markers or safety pins
• Small piece of cardboard or toilet paper tube
Measurements:
57” wide (not including tassels)
26” tall
Gauge:
4 (bead stitch + ch 1) pairings = 4”
5 rows = 4”
Abbreviations and Glossary (US Terms):
ch – chain
dc – double crochet
ch1sp – space created by chaining one
ch4sp – space created by chaining four
tch – turning chain
sk – skip
st – stitch
yo – yarn over
rep – repeat
PM – place marker
Slcl (slanting cluster) – [yo, insert hook from right to left around post of previous dc, yo, pull loop through] 3 times in same place, yo, pull through all 7 loops on hook (see video tutorial for help)
Overall Pattern Notes:
• Reference the video tutorial above if you need additional help with any aspect of the pattern.
• In each row, the pattern increases by one bobble (cluster) on either side of the triangle.
• Work the final dc of each row loosely so as to ensure your triangle has fairly straight lines.
• To change colors between rows, complete the final yo of the last dc of the row with the new color. Pattern is written with the assumption that the last dc before a color change will be worked this way. (See video or photo below for help.)
• The ch 4 at the beginning of each row counts as 1 dc and 1 ch throughout. Therefore the turning chain from the previous row is always the first ch1sp of the next row.
• Optional: place a marker in the ch4sp that will form the triangle point to easily keep track of where to work a ch 4 on the next row.

Finishing
Blocking:
Because we’re working with natural fibers, I recommend taking the time to gently block the scarf to clean up any shaping inconsistencies and help it drape nicely. You may find that the longest (top) side of your triangle is a bit curved, which is fine and will make it wrap well around your neck.
Weaving in Ends:
I find it easiest to weave the yarn ends into the nearest bobble, which hides them and keeps them secure at the same time. I promise the weaving will go faster than you think!
Adding Tassels
Using Color C and a cardboard tube cut to 3.5”, wrap yarn approximately 35 times around the tube lengthwise. Insert 10” strand of yarn underneath wrapped yarn on one end of the tube. Tie a few secure knots, but do not trim these pieces. Use sharp scissors to cut the wrapped yarn at the other end of the tube. Fold the resulting strands of yarn in half and wrap a 10” piece of yarn around the top of the strands to create a small sphere of yarn. Trim the excess of these pieces. Use the tails from the first 10” piece of yarn to tie the tassel onto the corner of the scarf and weave in ends. Repeat once more for the opposite corner. (See video tutorial above for a quick visual lesson.)
Toss your new triangle scarf around your neck, grab a warm apple cider and start planning the next revival!

SJ says
If I wanted to make this pattern with only two colors how many skeins of yarn do you think would be needed?
Jess @ Make and Do Crew says
My best guess would be 4 skeins, assuming you’re using the same yarn as the pattern lists. 🙂
Jax says
Thanks for the tutorial! I’m well into my scarf and notice it’s more diamond shaped then triangle. Any advice to correct the shape?
Jess @ Make and Do Crew says
Hey Jax,
My sample scarf had somewhat of a similar shape, although it sounds like maybe the curve at the top was less pronounced. I mention in the pattern (I think it’s in the blocking section?), that you scarf might have a bit of a curve at the top, but that most of it will smooth out with blocking. You can see in the photos that the slight curve gives it a nice drape near your your chin when it’s wrapped around your neck.
If you’re very dissatisfied with the shape though, you might be able to try adding an extra chain between each bobble to make each row longer. This might result in the opposite problem of a curve the other direction, but you may decide that’s fine with you as I don’t think it’ll show when you wear the scarf.
Similarly, you might try just exaggerating the size of each chain between the bobbles in order to make each row slightly longer.
Hope that’s helpful!
Jess
Tammy Lewis says
Thank you, Jess!! I’m a tight crocheter, and I was having the “diamond-shape” issue too… but exaggerating the size of the chains between the bobbles helped a lot! Thank you for this pattern – it’s fantastic! So squishy and comfy too!!
Jess @ Make and Do Crew says
I’m so glad that helped!
Regina Zimmer says
I have finished up the scarf but i have never blockked an item do you have suggestions for blocking ?
Jess @ Make and Do Crew says
Hey Regina,
Congrats on finishing your scarf! If your yarn contains some wool, you can simply pin it down and then spritz it with water and let it dry for 24 hours. (I just lay it on top of a towel on my carpet and pin it there using T-pins–I’m not sure that’s totally approved by the carpet gods though. 🙂
If you’re using acrylic, you can pin it down and then gently steam it with the steam setting on your iron. Just be sure not to actually touch the iron to the yarn or it will melt it!

Hello, I’m having trouble getting the video to play. Once I click on it it go blank.
Jess @ Make and Do Crew says
I’m so sorry to hear that Marie. Perhaps try just refreshing the page to see if that works. And if not, you might want to just try a different internet browser. I know it’s been working for most people, so it might just be a little glitch with your browser. 🙂

Heather says
I can’t wait to make this but can’t find this particular yarn in Canada. Do you have any suggestions for alternate yarn? Thanks!!
Jess @ Make and Do Crew says
Hey Heather,
I believe Lion Brand can ship this yarn to Canada from LionBrand.com. (Also, it’s 20% off right now!) If you don’t end up going that way though, another worsted weight yarn would work well. 🙂
Jess
Heather says
Thanks Jess! Just trying to avoid the crazy shipping, exchange, and possible duty! It’s such a nice looking yarn. I will continue the hunt!
jewey says
cool! definitely making this next! thanks for sharing. 🙂

Iola Zinn says
The pattern says it’s a 6 bulky yarn but the yarn says it’s a 4. So my question is what size yarn is it???
Jess @ Make and Do Crew says
Thanks for catching that, Iola. 🙂 It is actually a size 4/worsted yarn. I’ve corrected it above now. Happy crocheting!
Jess
Jess says
I’m so excited to get started on this. I have a question though. Is this pattern made using worsted? Under supplies it says the yarn is a super bulky, but the link shows that it’s worsted, it didn’t quite look bulky to me but I just wanted to double check before I get started. Thanks for all the great patterns!!!
Jess @ Make and Do Crew says
Yes! Thank you so much for catching that. It is indeed worsted. I’ve corrected it now.
Happy crocheting!

Hi! The revival scarf looks beautiful, but I can’t find the free tutorial. Can you please guide me.
Thank you!!!
Jess @ Make and Do Crew says
Hey Kathy!
The video tutorial is directly above the free pattern. You can tell where the pattern starts because there’s some pinky type that says “The Revival Scarf”. Look for the video player right above that. 🙂
