The year is slowly coming to a close, and one good thing that comes with that is that is that it’s finally time for all the crochet scarf goodness to be made. First up this season is the Blue Ridge Scarf. I chose the name of the scarf because the stitch pattern coupled with the beautiful icy blue yarn reminded me of a snow topped mountain ridge. And since I’m from Georgia, I felt it was only right to name it after the first mountains I ever saw, Blue Ridge.
This crochet scarf is the perfect accessory to add to your closet this Winter. This scarf is so easily customizable that you’ll want to make it over and over again. And let’s not forget, it’s also market season, so if you’re looking for a quick make to add to your table, this is the pattern for you.
The Blue Ridge Crochet Scarf features an amazingly textured stitch pattern that will be sure to turn some heads. This wide, super long, fringed crochet scarf is just what you need to complete any outfit. Dress it up, or dress it down…you’ll look stunning either way.
The Yarn…
For this project, I had the pleasure of trying Wonderfluff from WeCrochet for the first time, and let me tell you, I need it in every color! Now, If I’m being honest, I haven’t always been the biggest fan of roving type yarns, but the fiber combinations of Wonderfluff make all those concerns melt away. WeCrochet described this yarn as softer than a kitten, and fluffier than a cloud, and I couldn’t describe it any better than that. This Category 5 bulky yarn is blended with 70% silky baby alpaca fibers mixed with 7% merino wool and 23% nylon so create the dreamiest yarn that you’ll ever use. For the Blue Ridge Crochet Scarf, you will need 5 balls of Wonderfluff yarn. There are so many colors to choose from so click here to order yours!
Yarn Subs
I understand that you may not always be able to get the same exact yarn or even like the same yarn for that matter, and that’s okay! If alpaca fibers aren’t your thing WeCrochet has a ton of other bulky weight options for you to choose from. Here are a few suggestions:
- Wool of the Andes Bulky
- 100% Peruvian Highland Wool
- Swish Bulky
- 100% Fine Superwash Merino Wool
- Brava Bulky
- 100% Premium Acrylic
- Lionbrand Hue+Me
- 80% Acrylic, 20% Wool

Start Here…
Ch 31.
Row 1: Sk first 2 chs (counts as sc), dc in next ch, *sk next ch, sc and dc in next ch; rep from * to last 2 chs, sk next ch, sc in last ch. Turn.
Row 2: Ch 1 (counts as sc), dc in first st, *sk next dc, sc and dc in the next sc; rep from * to last 2 sts, sk next dc, sc in t-ch. Turn.
Next Steps: Rep row 2 until scarf is the desired length.
Fasten off. Weave in all ends.
Finishing Touches:
• Add fringe to both ends of the scarf if desired.
• To make fringe, cut pieces of yarn that are a little over twice the length of what you would like your finished fringe to be. Be sure to leave enough length for trimming. The fringe in the sample shown is approximately 12 inches long before folding, and has a total of 66 yarn strands cut; that’s 33 per side or 11 triple stranded fringe groups on each scarf edge.
• To attach the fringe, insert hook into stitch along the edge of the finished scarf, fold 3 yarn strands in half forming a loop at one end. Using your hook, draw the loops through the stitch but do not pull through completely. Yarn over using the ends of the fringe, and pull them through the loops on your hook. Tighten and repeat as many times as desired.
Note: For a neater finish, use a steamer to be sure the fringe lays flat.
