I choose Lion Brand Mandala Ombre Yarn in Tranquil, a gauge #4 worsted weight yarn. I love the pretty colors in this self striping yarn. The scarf only takes one cake of this pretty yarn.

I made an ear warmer in the same color using the spike stitch. You can find the spike stitch tie dye winter headband crochet pattern on my blog.

The yarn is easy to work with and come in lots of colors. Lion Brand Mandala Yarn is 100% acrylic and machine washable.

A crochet scarf would make a great gift too. You can choose a color to go with their style or a neutral that would work for anyone. They are practical too.

Why I Chose Lion Brand Mandala Ombre Yarn

I chose Lion Brand Mandala Ombre Yarn for this scarf because I loved having so many bright colors all in one cake of yarn. The color changes do the work for you, so you can get a colorful scarf without having to stop and change yarns over and over.

The yarn is also soft and comfortable, which was important because I made this scarf for my daughter. I thought she would like all of the bright colors, and the soft yarn makes it nice to wear around the neck.

Mandala Ombre also works really well with the V-stitch because the simple stitch pattern lets the different colors stand out. As you crochet, the changing shades create colorful sections throughout the scarf, making even an easy beginner pattern look a little more special.

Chain 19

Row 1: (hdc, ch 1, hdc) in 3rd ch from hook. *Skip 2 chs, (hdc, ch 1, hdc) in next. Repeat from * across until 2 chs remain. Skip 1 ch. hdc in last. Chain 2 and turn.

Row 2: (hdc, ch 1, hdc) in each ch 1 space across. Hdc in last stitch. Chain 2 and turn.

Repeat Row 2 until you have the 99 rows, 44 in, or the length you want. My yarn started with a short part of purple so I ended with the same amount of rows of purple on the opposite side.

For an adult size scarf crochet 140 rows. You will probably need another skein of yarn.

Tie and cut ends. Weave in all yarn ends. Enjoy your easy V stich crochet scarf.

Tips for a Neat V-Stitch Scarf

• Keep your chain-1 spaces a little loose. You will work the V-stitches into these spaces on the next row, so you want them to be easy to find and crochet into.
• Watch the last stitch of each row. It is easy to accidentally skip the final half double crochet, which can make the scarf slowly get narrower.
• Count your V-stitches every few rows. A quick count can help you catch a missed stitch before you have crocheted too far.
• Remember that the turning chain counts as a stitch. Following the turning-chain instructions carefully will help keep the edges of the scarf straight.
• Let the Mandala Ombre colors change naturally. You do not need to cut the yarn or try to match the colors. Part of the fun of using this yarn is watching the different shades appear as you crochet.

This scarf works up beautifully in both solid and variegated yarns. The V stitch gives it a lovely drape and texture without being too bulky, making it perfect for layering on chilly days.

If you’re new to crochet, this is a great pattern to build confidence with simple stitches while creating something useful and stylish. You can easily customize the width or length to suit anyone, from a child to an adult. Add fringe or tassels for a fun finish, or keep it sleek for a modern, minimalist look.

V-Stitch Crochet Scarf FAQ

Is the V-stitch good for beginners?

Yes. The V-stitch is a good stitch for beginners because it uses basic crochet stitches and has an easy repeating pattern. Once you have worked a few rows, it is easy to see where the next V-stitch should go.

How wide should a crochet scarf be?

A crochet scarf can be made in many different widths, but 6 to 8 inches wide works well for most scarves. This V-stitch scarf is about 7.5 inches wide. You can make yours wider or narrower by changing the starting chain while keeping the stitch multiple the same.

How much yarn do I need to make this scarf?

The amount of yarn you need will depend on how long you make your scarf. The child-size scarf uses less yarn than a longer adult scarf. If you are making an adult-size version, I recommend having an extra cake of yarn available so you can continue crocheting until the scarf reaches the length you want.

Can I use a different yarn?

Yes. You can use another #4 worsted weight yarn instead of Lion Brand Mandala Ombre. Keep in mind that changing the yarn or hook size can change the width, length, and finished look of the scarf. A self-striping or color-changing yarn is a great choice if you want a colorful look without having to change yarn colors yourself.
