The Every Man Scarf, Free Crochet Pattern + Full Video Tutorial


The Every Man Scarf is luxurious, warm and elegant with just a bit of color.  Crochet one up for someone special or perhaps for yourself!  This beautiful scarf is completely reversible too, revealing a different look on either side.  Easy stitches and thicker yarn make the Every Man Scarf a super quick project too.

Materials:

  • 6.5 mm K crochet hook
  • Yarn that recommends a "K" crochet hook on it's label (good yarn to try for this project: Lion Brand Woolspun, Lion Brand Wool Ease Chunky, Red Heart With Love)
  • Tapestry Needle
  • Scissors
Sizing:
Note: Scarf is worked lengthwise and is determined by the number of starting chains.  A general rule of thumb I like to follow to get the best length for anyone is to measure from hip to hip...begin at the hip, go up and around the back of the neck and back down to the other hip.  If you want to wrap the scarf a couple times around the neck, make it longer.

  • 6 inches wide (as shown by working 10 rows of pattern)
  • 70 inches long (as shown)


Instructions:

Color A: shown in gray
Color B: shown in red

Note: For striping as shown, work 1 row of each color and alternate for the entire scarf.  When experimenting with striping, I found this sequence showed off the stitches and colors best.

Begin by making a chain as long as you would like your scarf to be.  I made my chain about 70 inches long.

Row 1 (color A): In the fourth ch from the hook, work a dc.  Work a dc in each ch across.
Row 2 (color B): Ch 3 and turn, work a bpdc (back post double crochet, see video tutorial below) into each dc across row.  Work a dc in the turning chain.
Row 3 (color A): Ch 3 and turn.  Work a dc into each stitch across. Work a dc in the turning chain.

Repeat rows 2 and 3 until scarf is desired width, ending on row 2 for a nice finished edge.  I worked a total of 10 rows for the scarf shown.  Fasten off.


Finishing:

Weave in any ends that remain and you're finished!

  4. Great-looking pattern!! I love how your patterns so often take simple stitches and directions, and end up with something so fabulous! I crochet scarves for a couple of charities that ask for "unisex" designs, and this pattern will definitely be included in my offerings to them!

  10. Hi. I've been crocheting now for thirteen months and I wanted to learn the back post double crochet. I watched Jennifer's youtube video and practiced for a while. Here's the funny thing. Making the Every Man scarf was actually easier than the practice because of the different color yarn. The pattern was easy to do and the end result is lovely. Also, I never crocheted a scarf in this direction before, so I liked trying that, too. I've made so many of the wonderful Fiber Flux patterns: the Cloudy Mobius, Scraps of Love , Grape Jelly, lots and lots of Kids with Lids, the Love Notes Scarf, Everybody scarf , Mango Salsa many times, Mulberry scarf many times and other that I can't remember. Thank you, Jennifer, for your excellent patterns and excellent videos. I appreciate all the work you do. Thank you.

  16. Quick question. On the last row of mine and I'm noticing that the edges are "flaring" a little bit. Wouldn't adding a DC in each Ch3 at the beginning be like an increase?

    1. i'm also having this problem. i thought maybe because i am doing it in solid and not tying each end, but instead, turn ch 3, dc in same stitch. i'm always off a stitch sometimes two so the edges are really wonky. ugh. i'm trying to figure it out.

    Thank you

  24. I notice on Ravelry that there are options for 3 colours. What's your advise regarding adding that third colour to your pattern.
    Thanks, Paul

  25. Hi. Is the needle size the American or EU one? My yarn is apparently a size 4 but also US 6.. Figured it would do as a 6 instead of 6.5, but not if it's a four...
    I've picked grey and a nice blue wool blend. Hope the man on the receiving end likes it!
