The Crochet Moss Stitch
The crochet moss stitch, is also known as the linen stitch, seed stitch or the granite stitch. It uses basic crochet stitches and is perfect for beginners and experienced crocheters alike.
This crochet stitch is very easy to learn using basic stitches, and it works up quickly.
The moss stitch pattern is created by alternating single crochet stitches and chain stitches. It produces a dense, textured fabric that is perfect for scarves, blankets, hats, and other accessories.
It is one of my favourite stitch patterns! I used this simple stitch for my crochet washcloths.
Yarn for your Crochet Scarf
For my scarf, I went with Hedgehogfibers Tweedy DK yarn in 3 harmonious shades and a 5mm hook. The texture and drape it provided were simply stunning!
For the starting chain, I used a 4.5mm hook. Then, I switched to a 5mm hook for the rest of the scarf. The smaller hook at the start helps keep the row tight and prevents it from stretching out.
You could also use worsted weight yarn and a larger hook.
Whether you opt for solids, gradients, or even self-striping yarns, this pattern will make them shine!
Customize Your Crochet Scarf
Want to customize? Change the length of your scarf by adding or removing rows. For a shorter scarf, just crochet fewer rows. And if you prefer an infinity scarf, skip the fringe and join both ends.
To adjust the width, chain an even number of stitches for the width required. This is a super easy crochet scarf pattern!
