44 Crochet Scarf Patterns for Beginners

I earn commissions for purchases made through links in this post.

I’m excited to be sharing these easy crochet scarf patterns. If you’re new to crochet, scarves are one of the easiest beginner-friendly projects you can make.

Scarves can be worked up quickly and they usually repeat the same stitch, which helps you get a good grasp of the different stitches in crochet.

If you want to learn how to crochet, the first pattern that I’ve included below by Sewrella will teach you the basics of the craft and how to create your very own beginner-friendly crochet scarf. I highly recommend reading the entire post.
