    Easy Crochet Scarf - free pattern

    Hi everyone! I’m so excited to share my latest free crochet pattern with you! The Sunburst Crochet Scarf!

    mesh triangle crochet shawl with tassels in variegated yarn

    This pattern is accompanied by a video tutorial and I've also created a handy chart for this pattern!

    This post may contain affiliate links, view our disclosure policy for details.

    It’s bright, colourful, versatile and the perfect Mother’s Day gift! This crochet scarf pattern is super easy as it’s made entirely of chains and double crochet 🙂 Once you get a hang of the repeats it's a breeze to stitch up! I love this scarf because it can easily be extended into a shawl so it’s great for spring or autumn. I’ve also added tassels and provided instructions below but you can finish off this scarf anyway you like!

    Design Inspiration

    Since Mother’s Day is right around the corner, I wanted to create an item that my mum would love and work up quickly in case anyone needs a fast project to make before next Sunday 🙂 This scarf took me less than 5 hours to make and I think its pretty quick for a sport weight yarn!


    The scarf begins in a sharp diamond shape but as you work on it the diamond evens out. If you decide to extend this pattern to a wrap you’ll probably end up with a shape closer to a triangle.

    Yarn

    pink, orange, red triangle crochet shawl with tassels

    For this project I chose Lana Grossa’s Lace Seta Dégradé which is a light 5ply yarn. This yarn is soft, squishy and luxurious as it’s 70% alpaca and 30% silk and it makes a wonderful gift for a loved one or treat yourself!


    My mum is most definitely a thin scarf person and loves bright, warm colours, which is pretty much opposite of my personal style haha. Red is my mum’s favourite colour so I picked this bright pink/red/orange/purple striping yarn. My skein had a very nice mix of colours and the best part is that it requires no effort on your part! I just rolled with the colour changes in the skein but you can also watch the colour changes and chose to alternate colours after every few rows.

      Hi, I love this pattern. Thank you so much. I've just started making it. I just wanted to check should row 8 have 48 stitches in total not 50? I think you may just have a typo in the written pattern. The drawn pattern shows 48 I think.

      This is another of your patterns that I am working on now. However my shawl is a square shape instead of triangle. Is it going to be ok after blocking or am I doing something wrong. Thank you for help. Your patterns are as beautiful as clearly explained.
