Through the Window Scarf – Free Crochet Pattern in 4 Sizes

September 7, 2020

This is a free crochet pattern for how to crochet the Through the Window Scarf – a fun crochet pattern that uses the mosaic crochet technique. Don’t let it scare you! It’s comprised of simple single crochet stitches, chains and easy double crochets. Four sizes included.

Ever since working up my Through the Window Soap Cozy, I have been in love with the idea of using a variegated color underneath, and a solid coordinating color on top for this mosaic crochet stitch pattern.

I set out to my local JoAnn’s with this idea, and while stock was low, I was able to find these Reef and Buff colorways for this scarf, which I think works out really well for Fall.

The idea of mosaic crochet may intimidate you, but please don’t let it. This scarf is comprised of single crochets and chains with some double crochets to create the overlap. I think a confident beginner could do this. Make sure to check the pattern notes for a photo that breaks the pattern down just a bit, and should ease your fear.

Materials:

  • 144 (253, 381, 560) Yards of Worsted Weight Yarn (I used Red Heart Super Saver in Buff and Reef; Respectively, that’s 99 yards + 45 yards (167 + 86, 242 + 139, 341 + 219).
  • H8/5mm Crochet Hook
  • Tapestry Needle

Yarn Alternatives:

Lion Brand’s Vanna’s Choice or Heartland, Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn, Red Heart’s Soft, Bernat’s Super Value and Premier Yarns Everyday Soft.

If the finished size isn’t essential to you, you can even switch our the worsted weight yarn for bulky/chunky weight to make an even cozier scarf.

If you have concerns about using Red Heart Super Saver and similar because of the roughness and stiffness of the fabric, I have a couple tips!

  • If the yarn is too rough for your hands to crochet with, remove the skein wrapper, place the skein into a mesh lingerie bag (I bought mine at JoAnn’s), then machine wash it by itself on the gentle cycle in cold water with a mild detergent. Once it’s finished, toss it into the dryer on low heat – you may need to run it through 2 – 3 times to get the center dry.
  • To add softness and better drape to the finished piece, crochet in it’s entirety and weave in the ends, then wash and dry in the same manner (without the lingerie bag) or simply dry once with a dryer sheet.

Time Spent:

For the adult small size, I had my scarf ready in 6.25 hours.

Measurements:

  • Toddler: 4″ Wide by 30″ in Length
  • Child: 4.88″ Wide by 45.38″ in Length
  • Adult Small: 5.75″ Wide by 60.38″ in Length
  • Adult Large: 7.5″ Wide by 71″ in Length

The child and adult small widths are a little smaller than average (being 5.5″ and 6″, respectively), but with the stitch pattern, this is how I worked it out. If you prefer something wider, for the child: work up the foundation chain for the adult small, and for the adult small: work a chain 27, then proceed in pattern with one more repeat. Follow the same row numbers.

Gauge:

11 HDC = 3″ Wide; 9 Rows = 3 1/8″

Abbreviations (US Terms):

  • SC – Single Crochet (Photo Tutorial)
  • DC – Double Crochet (Photo Tutorial)

Pattern Notes:

In the pattern, I will instruct to example, in Round 5 “DC into R3”. In the photo above, you can see how there is a skipped stitch in white, and two rows of chains above it. You will push those chains to the back, and work the double crochet just into that skipped stitch in white. The sample shown is my Through the Window Soap Cozy.

Chain multiple is 4 + 3. Stitch multiple is 4 + 2.

To change yarn colors, do so in the last yarn over of the previous row. If needed, see my How to Change Yarn Colors in Crochet tutorial. Drop old color to the back, and carry up on the side. When you add your border, it will cover up the carried yarn.

This is what the back looks like.

Pattern:

In Buff, chain 15 (19, 23, 31). SC into the 2nd chain from the hook, and each across. [14 (18, 22, 30) SC]

R2: Chain 1, turn. SC into the 1st SC, and each SC across. Switch to Reef. 

R3: In Reef, chain 1, turn. SC into the 1st 2 SC, (chain 2, skip the next 2 SC, SC into each of the next 2 SC) 3x (4x, 5x, 7x). 

R4: Chain 1, turn. SC into the 1st 2 SC, (chain 2, SC into each of the next 2 SC) 3x, (4x, 5x, 7x). Switch to Buff.

R5: In Buff, chain 1, turn. SC into the 1st 2 SC, DC into each of the 2 open stitches from R3, (SC into each of the next 2 SC, DC into each of the next 2 stitches of R3) 3x, (4x, 5x, 7x). 

R6: Chain 1, turn. SC into the 1st SC, and each SC across. Switch to Reef.

R7 – 142 (214, 282, 334): Repeat Rows 3 – 6, fastening off Reef in the last set of repeats.

Border: Chain 1, turn. SC into each stitch across, (SC, chain 2, SC) into the corner, evenly SC (that’s 1 stitch per row) down the side of the scarf, (SC, chain 2, SC) into the next corner, SC across the opposite side of the foundation chain, (SC, chain 2, SC) into the next corner, evenly SC (that’s 1 stitch per row) up the side of the scarf, SC into the same stitch as the 1st, chain 1, then slip stitch join to the 1st SC.

Fasten off, and weave in ends.

      So glad you like it! I’m working on an oversized, chunky version at the moment.

      And when you get bored of the front, you could definitely flip it over to the back for a different look.

    Very pretty! Can you confirm in row 5 (Buff) when you say you crochet into Row 3 (Reef), are you actually going into Row 2, also Buff, or rather doing a DC around the chains from Row 3 and 4? I’ve done both in my swatch and they look similar, but one will basically have a gap below my long stitches if I crochet around row 3, and to me it looks like you crocheted into the Buff yarn from row 2 instead, leaving no hole. Thanks!

      I suppose working into Row 2 is a good explanation. It’s actually into each of the skipped stitches from Row 3. You push the chains to the back, and work just into the skipped stitches so the double crochets end up laying on top of the chains. No hole is correct.

Hey! I'm Alexandra, the blogger and creator behind EyeLoveKnots and On Rockwood Lane! My passion is being creative. My favorite thing to do is crochet, and you will almost always find me having a cup of coffee and working on a new crochet project, but when I'm not doing that, you might find me out at a local park rollerblading, baking some fresh cookies, picking veggies in the garden or re-decorating for a new season or holiday. My two cats are great supervisors for all my adventures (minus the being outside because they think it's too hot in Florida to be anywhere but inside), and make sure I take plenty of breaks.
