This crochet pattern details the creation of a stylish granny square scarf, blending vintage and boho aesthetics. The scarf is approximately 75” x 12” (excluding fringe).
Gauge is not critical for this pattern.
The pattern involves crocheting 14 granny squares, each in a different color, and assembling them into a long strip. Detailed instructions are provided for each round of the granny square, outlining the color changes and stitch counts. Once assembled, a border is crocheted onto each side of the strip, with alternating rows in multiple colors. Finally, fringe is added to the ends of the scarf.
The 14 granny squares are whipstitched together to create a long strip, and then a border is added to each side using multiple colors. The final step is adding a fringe made from multiple strands of yarn.
Vintage meets Boho with this updated granny square scarf. Transition from summer to fall in bold colors that will brighten up any outfit.
