Let the warm sunshine in with this Sunshine Crochet Scarf Pattern! It’s made with a super lightweight cotton and that makes it perfect for warmer weather. It hangs loose around the neck so you don’t have to worry about getting too warm with this scarf. I used We Are Knitters Cotton in Yellow. As soon as I saw this bright and beautiful color, I knew I had to have it! And I knew it would become a fun, summer scarf!
I added long tassels to each end for some added fun. But they are completely optional. The scarf looks cute with or without the fringe.

Pattern Notes & Stitches to Know

Hi, I’m trying to start this pattern and am confused – I chained 5 and I think I did the first row correctly. For row 2, I chained 3, turned – but then it says to DC in the chain 1 space and 2 DC in the 3rd chain of turning chain. Which is the chain 1 space? If it’s the third from the hook, then it doesn’t seem possible to DC into the 3rd chain after that. Maybe a photo or video would help? Sorry, I’m a beginner and just don’t understand where to make the DCs, and I think this is a lovely scarf!
Hi, in row 2 there should be a ch 4 space right after your ch 3 and turn. Dc in the first ch space, then 2 dc in the top of the 3rd. Hope this helps!
Thanks for your help – I still just can’t seem to get it (Row 3 has no turn?) but will maybe try again someday…
I see you edited row 3! Maybe I will try again. Thanks.
I feel really stupid but I’m having trouble getting the first few rows too. Reading patterns is definitely a struggle. It’s so much easier when there is a video. Have you considered doing that?
Anyway, I have started this about six times and have pulled it all out because it looks nothing like yours. I just don’t know where to put the first few rows of stitches. I know how to chain, sc, DC, dhc, crochet in the round, do a magic circle, all that, so I’m not entirely a beginner, but I’m having trouble moving up skill-wise because of my difficulty understanding written patterns. Figuring out what “in same stitch” and “in next stitch” means seems to be my hangup.
Are there stitch counts per row on your paid pattern? I have had some luck when those are provided as I am sort of able to extrapolate where I was to start based on that.
I feel so stupid. I’m sorry.
I made this scarf with the tassels using a multi-coloured cotton blend yarn. It turned out absolutely perfect. Thank you so much for sharing this lovely pattern!
Yay! Thank you!
Do you have a youtube video of this scarf? I am having a problem following the directions.
Hi! Not yet, but I plan to have one soon 🙂
Please put me on your list to be notified of the youtube video.
Thanks,
