Beautiful Fall Crochet Scarf

This beautiful fall crochet scarf has an easy 2-row repeat stitch pattern and looks great with a color-changing yarn like Unforgettable by Red Heart. When fall arrives here in New England, I love to wear this scarf for all the fun outdoor fall events and activities.  When the gorgeous colors of autumn are all around, my family and I love to stop and gaze at the prettiest trees in our neighborhood.  When the sun shines through the golden leaves, it is like ornate stained glass windows.  Don’t you love the sound of the swish and crunch when you walk through fallen leaves?  Or how about the smells of fall? Apples? Pumpkins? Cinnamon?

Red Heart Unforgettable Yarn in Sunrise

I created this light scarf to be worn as a reminder of the beauty of autumn in all its splendor.  The yarn is by Red Heart and is called, “Unforgettable” which comes in great colorways. This one is perfect for fall – it is called “Sunrise“.  I love the bright orange, olive green, denim blue and cranberry red that make up this yarn.

Simple Cable Stitch Makes Up This Fall Crochet Scarf

The stitch is an easy ‘sort-of cable’ that is a snap to get the hang of and creates an interesting pattern among  the color changes.  Whenever I wear this fall crochet scarf, I get several compliments and I love the way it feels around my neck.

Video Tutorial for the Cable Stitch

In case you are new to making crochet cables and working around the post of stitches, there is a video available to take you through crocheting this stitch – see below to watch or click here. I think you’ll find that the pretty criss-cross effect of these cables are a lot easier than they look.
