Charlesworth Scarf Crochet Pattern

Charlesworth Scarf in Berroco Remix Chunky

What Is Being Made

The Charlesworth Scarf is a crochet design created by Mel Kennelly that measures approximately 23 inches wide by 69 inches long. This intermediate-level scarf is constructed from individual crocheted motifs that are joined together to create the finished piece. The scarf features a color-blocked design using two contrasting colorways of yarn.

Construction Method

The scarf employs a modular construction technique where 24 individual square motifs are crocheted separately and then assembled together. This approach allows crafters to work on manageable pieces before joining them into the final scarf. Each motif is worked in the round, beginning with a Magic Ring foundation.

Crochet Stitches and Techniques

The Charlesworth Scarf uses fundamental crochet stitches worked across four rounds per motif:

• Double crochet (dc) — forms the primary fabric structure and appears throughout all rounds
• Single crochet (sc) — used in Round 2 to create connection points between chain spaces
• Chain stitches (ch) — create openwork spaces and decorative elements, including ch-5 and ch-3 variations
• Slip stitch (sl st) — joins rounds and transitions between sections
• Magic Ring — provides the foundation for each motif's center

The pattern incorporates corner shaping through chain-3 spaces that create defined square corners in each motif. Staggered increases and chain spaces produce an openwork texture characteristic of intermediate crochet design.

Yarn and Materials

This pattern calls for Berroco Remix Chunky yarn, a bulky-weight option that works up quickly. The scarf requires 4 balls each of two colorways: #9993 Pepper (C1) and #9901 Birch (C2), with each ball weighing 100 grams. The chunky yarn weight contributes to the scarf's substantial drape and texture.

Tools and Gauge

Crocheters will need a size K / 6.5 mm crochet hook or the size required to obtain proper gauge, along with a tapestry needle for finishing. The pattern specifies that each completed motif measures 5¾ inches (14.5 cm) square after blocking. Checking gauge before beginning is essential to ensure the finished scarf achieves the intended dimensions.

Skill Level

Rated as intermediate difficulty, this pattern assumes familiarity with basic crochet fundamentals including chain stitches, single crochet, double crochet, and joining techniques. The modular motif structure and repetitive rounds make it accessible to crafters developing their skills while offering enough complexity to remain engaging.
