Free Crochet Patterns for Scarves

Crocheted scarves are great for keeping the neck and chin warm in the cold winter weather. They are generally worn underneath the jacket for extra warmth and protection from the cold air. In addition, lacy scarves are often so beautiful that you just want to wear them for fun.

The price for scarves can range anywhere from a buck at the dollar store to $50.00 or more elsewhere. And if you make them yourself, the price will depend on what type of yarn you use. I would say that in general you can make yourself a soft, beautiful and warm scarf for under $10.00.

Many crochet scarf patterns can be worked up within a few hours, but others can take a little longer depending on the stitch combination, the yarn that is used, and the finished size. Crochet scarves are fun and easy to make, and are great for beginners to practice with before moving on to bigger and more complicated patterns.

You can find scarf patterns in many pattern books, yarn labels as well as online. As a matter of fact, the Internet has a huge collection of free crochet patterns for scarves. The following list is a combination of both elegant and stylish scarves as well as a few very easy scarf patterns.
