C2C crochet scarf pattern
This C2C crochet scarf pattern is a cozy way to practice corner-to-corner crochet while making something you can actually wear. The simple shape, soft texture, and handmade look make it perfect for chilly days, winter outfits, and thoughtful gifts.
Quick answer
This beginner C2C crochet scarf is worked diagonally in one piece using worsted weight (#4) yarn and a J-10 (6 mm) crochet hook. The scarf increases to 12 C2C blocks wide, continues at 12 blocks to create the length, then decreases to the opposite corner. The finished scarf measures approximately 6.5 × 70 inches (16.5 × 178 cm) and can be finished with four corner pom poms.
