Feather Crochet Scarf – Easy Skinny Scarf Pattern

The feather crochet scarf is a lightweight, airy and elegant accessory perfect for any season. For this project, you will need approximately 75 g of yarn, and the result is a delicate, airy, and elegant piece you will fall in love with at first touch.

What exactly is a skinny scarf? It is a gradually widening scarf that reaches approximately 20 cm (8 inches) at its widest point. It is an interesting accessory somewhere between a scarf and a shawl – you can wear it loosely wrapped around your neck, tied like a small shawl, or styled like a classic scarf.

For this design, one ball of Rowan Kidsilk Haze and almost one ball of Rowan Felted Tweed are enough. The result is a truly unique, lightweight, and very trendy piece that will easily complement any outfit. I don’t usually wear dark orange tones, but I recently got a spring parka in a brownish shade, and this combination works beautifully together. Rowan yarns come from the United Kingdom and are known for their high quality.

Rowan Felted Tweed is composed of 50% merino wool, 25% alpaca, and 25% viscose, with a weight of 50 g and a yardage of approximately 175 m (color Marigold). The second yarn used is Rowan Kidsilk Haze, a luxurious blend of 70% mohair and 30% silk, with a weight of 25 g and a yardage of approximately 210 m (color Tangerine).

We unboxed these yarns in the Crochet Podcast “Povídání u klubíčka #125”, and you can read more in the related article. Rowan yarns are available at Textilni-galanterie.cz or in the Filium store at Palladium shopping center in Prague.

VIDEO TUTORIAL PREMIERE – now with automatically generated subtitles. Did you know you can slow down the video on YouTube and adjust it to your own crochet pace?

For this season, I’ve fallen in love with the combination of Rowan Felted Tweed and Rowan Kidsilk Haze yarns. You can hold both strands together to create a beautiful texture with a soft halo effect. If you like to experiment, you can try another variation – crochet one row using both strands held together, followed by two rows worked only with the fine Kidsilk Haze yarn, ideally with a larger hook. This creates a truly beautiful, airy effect that feels light and elegant.

I’m also planning to design a vest using this stitch pattern, but since I had one ball left in a gorgeous fiery orange shade, I decided to create a simple video tutorial for beginners featuring this delicate skinny scarf.

The construction of the skinny scarf is simple. We always crochet three rows with the same number of stitches. One row is worked with two strands held together, followed by two rows worked only with the thin Kidsilk Haze yarn. However, at the beginning of the first row, we create a small cluster using both strands, and at the end of the second row, we also finish with a cluster made from both strands. This creates a rhythm of a fuller stripe followed by two airy rows. The edges of the scarf form a delicate zigzag pattern made of small clusters, resembling tiny “S” shapes.

For this project, you only need to know how to make a magic ring, double crochet stitches, and finish with two slip stitches.

The name of this scarf was chosen by you. There were many beautiful suggestions – Aperol, Flame, Spark, Spiderweb, or Feather. The name “Feather” appeared most often, so I decided to go with it. It perfectly captures the lightness, softness, and airy character of the material.

I hope you enjoy making your Feather Skinny Scarf and wear your handmade accessory with joy.
