I made those scarves for all three of us using beautiful James C. Brett marble yarn.
For myself I made greenish one in standard marble yarn and for my girls in softer baby marbles with different shades of pink and purple.
The scarves are very easy to make, don’t require much crocheting skills and should be ready in no time.
MATERIALS
150 – 200 g DK yarn marble yarn for 4 mm hook
EQUIPMENT
- crochet hook (I used 5.00 mm hook to make the scarves softer)
METHOD
Please note that names of the stitches vary, this is UK pattern, click through for UK & US crochet stitches conversion chart.
stitches used: chain (ch), treble / triple crochet (tr), slip stitch (ss)
FOUNDATION CHAIN
- work 20 – 30 ch for the base (I made my own scarf 30 ch wide and 20 ch wide inch for my girls)
- turn over
ROW 1 (FOUNDATION ROW)
- work 3 ch for the first tr and then continue working tr into each chain of the foundation until the end of the row
- work 3 extra ch (for the first tr in the next row) and turn over
ROW 2 +
- work tr in between each tr from previous row
- when you reach the end of the row work additional 3 ch
- turn over and repeat the same steps until the scarf is long enough
- finish with ss
FRILLS
Optionally tie the frills to both ends of the scarf, double pieces of yearn folded in half and threaded through every stitch will be enough.

Great idea! As a present it is not very expensive but full of soul and attentiveness. Thanks
That is a great scarf for men, women or children!
Valeria, that is the thought that matters… and with those scarves you can make them also very personal by choosing yarn that will match the person… the possibilities are endless. We went for marble yarn because it looks sooo pretty and it does not need any special stitches to look great.
Geri, very true, I need to make one for my husband as well before the end of summer.
I love your pattern and am going to try to make one. For the yarn you say that you used James Brett marble yarn which I understood to be chunky although you have called it DK. What did you use in the pattern?
Sue, it is not a chunky yarn, it is DK. James Brett has chunky marble and regular DK one as well.
Love this! Looks pretty easy and I am going to try to make it soon. Thanks for the pattern.
Hi! I want to use this, but as a baby blanket – basically what you did but much larger. As the colour changes, do you think I am fine to keep adding a new ball of yarn on to the last? The colours in your images don’t look blocky.
