Easy Crochet Brick Stitch Scarf

The Easy Crochet Brick Stitch Scarf works up quickly using basic stitches and medium weight yarn. This FREE crochet pattern comes with 2 edging options and the instructions to make your own flower pin! I created this design to wear when I performed as Grandma Josephine in a local community theater’s production of the Willy Wonka Musical. I also crocheted this scarf while on stage to create the illusion that I was gradually making scarves for the other grandparents during the show. I picked this stitch pattern because it is so easy to make that I could do it while acting on stage and saying my lines.

Two Edgings and a Flower Pin Included!

Since I made the same scarves for me and the other Grandma in our show, I wanted an easy way to tell the 2 scarves apart especially when getting them ready to wear backstage in the dim lighting. So, I came up with 2 different edgings that I include in the instructions below. One is some fun mini-pom poms and the other is some simple 5-petal flowers. And since these scarves were intended to be more decorative than warm, I only made them about 40″ long and just crossed them once in front. To hold mine in place I created a pretty flower pin that I also include below.

Stitches Used in the Easy Crochet Brick Stitch Scarf Pattern

To make the Easy Crochet Brick Stitch Scarf you need to know basic crochet stitches such as the chain, slip stitch, single crochet and double crochet. To make the pom-pom edging it helps if you’ve crocheted a puff stitch before and the flower pin includes the tall treble crochet stitch. The brick stitch pattern is simple to follow and once you get the hang of it, you will see that you can work it up very quickly because you are working in mostly spaces! This means you can crochet this scarf while watching TV, talking with a friend or out in public with a lot of distractions.

Notes:

The scarf is worked back and forth in rows

To make your scarf longer, simply keep crocheting to the length you like – 60″ is a good length if you want to be able to tie it in front or wrap it around your neck – Make sure to end on the Row 2 repeat so you have a row of only ch-3 sps and scs
