Blooming Ridges | Crochet Scarf Pattern with diagonal lines

This beautiful crochet scarf pattern with diagonal lines is much simpler than it looks. A 12 row repeat of just double crochet stitches and bean stitch clusters creates this beautiful design.

The gorgeous color fade from the yarn suggested for this pattern adds to the allure and complexity without adding any additional work for the crocheter! The very best way to pair design and yarn for maximum effect!

The Yarn for This Crochet Scarf

The yarn I used for this pattern is Lion Brand Mandala Gradient. My main reason for using this yarn was the beautiful color fade! I am already a fan of the original Mandala line, but I am also a sucker for a multi-colored yarn where the colors fade slowly from one shade to another. I prefer it over a sudden color change. And this particular yarn does it beautifully.

Besides the color differences, the other change between the original Mandala yarn and the Mandala Gradient is yarn weight. The original is a size 3 light weight and the Gradient is slightly larger at a size 4 medium. The good news is that it is easy to substitute any of your favorite size 4 yarn in this pattern!

I have to say Mandala is not the softest of the Lion Brand selections, but it is soft enough to be comfortable and worth it for the color in my opinion.

Materials:

• Lion Brand Mandala Gradient weight 4 medium (5.29oz/150g, 295yd/270m) 2 plus partial skeins (624 yds) Olive*
• US I9/ 5.5 mm Crochet Hook
• Yarn Needle
• Scissors

*note on yardage: I used just over 2 skeins of this yarn. However, I like my scarves long so I used what I needed to get that length, including fringe. It’s possible you could complete a desired length with 2 skeins depending on your personal preference.

Gauge:

After Row 9, work is 8.75” wide x 4” tall (when height is measured from center – there is a small slant to the work and measuring from either edge will be different)

Finished Size:

8.75” wide x 71” (not including fringe)

Abbreviation Key:

(ch) chain
(sl st) slip stitch
(sc) single crochet
(dc) double crochet
Special stitch: Bean Stitch
** Repeat instructions between asterisks as many times as directed
( ) Work instructions within parenthesis in the same stitch or space

How to Crochet the Bean Stitch:

Insert hook into next stitch. Yarn over (yo) and pull through. You should have 2 loops on your hook. Yo and insert hook into the same stitch. Yo and pull through. You should have 4 loops on your hook. Yo and insert hook into the same stitch again. Yo and pull through. You should have 6 loops on your hook. Yo and pull through all 6 loops on the hook. Chain 1.

Pattern Notes:

Beginning chain(s) of each row does not count as a stitch.

Gauge is not terribly important for this pattern since it is not a fitted item. However, for reference, I tend to crochet tightly. You can reference the gauge to see how close your gauge is to mine. Some people find they even need to go down two hook sizes to meet my gauge. If you feel your gauge is significantly more tight or loose than you like, you can move up or down a hook size.

The ‘chain 1’ at the end of the bean stitch is part of the bean stitch. If you are instructed to chain 1 after a bean stitch, this is in addition to the chain 1 that is part of the bean stitch.

If resizing pattern width, stitch count is multiple of 3, plus 2.
