This beginner-friendly pattern is so easy, that you will make it in no time, so don’t waste another minute to think about it! The trick is to choose ombre yarn, because simple stitches are the perfect background for color changes. One cake of yarn is enough, so that you will have a new accessory ready to wear!
Psst… This project is fun, too. I promise!

Get to work!
Although this crochet scarf uses one cake of ombre yarn, you may want to make it from scraps of yarns you already have in your stash! If so, be sure to change the colors seamlessly and weave in ends as you go, because it saves a ton of time.

◉
The yarn I chose has quite graphic color changes, so that when one color transitions into another, threads create a kind of stripes. If you want to achieve a more delicate color flow, look for yarns that doesn’t have as many stark contrasts, because the changes will be much less visible there.
While I work hard to make sure the projects I publish are the highest quality, this pattern is untested and may contain errors. If you notice one, please let me know – I’m going to revise it and correct as soon as possible.
you are done!
