Page of Diamonds Scarf - Pattern
Make your very own granny square scarf with my free crochet pattern. The Page of Diamonds Scarf is made out of simple granny squares and granny triangles which stitch together to make a super versatile and customizable diamond pattern.
About The Pattern:
I originally designed this scarf with my friends in mind. When it comes to clothing, all of my friends have very unique and individual style and I designed this scarf with that eclectic kind of style in mind. That being said, I have a vision of making the Page of Diamonds Scarf in a single colour for myself some time soon, can you imagine this piece in solid black!?
I wanted my first freebie pattern to be super beginner friendly, and easy to customize, and I think the Page of Diamonds Scarf is just that.

Round 1: Ch 4 (counts as a dc and a ch 1 space), in the loop dc 3, ch 2, dc 3, ch 1, dc 1 , tighten the loop..

Dc 3, ch 1 in each ch 1 space on the first side, dc 3, ch 2, dc 3 in the ch 2 space at the tip of the triangle, ch 1, dc 3 in each ch 1 space on the second side. Ch 1, dc 1 in the last st. Pull your yarn through to create a slip knot, leaving an 8 inch tail.
Assembly
Arrange all squares and triangles as indicated by the diagram below. Make sure that all your good sides are facing upwards. When you are sewing your pieces together, I recommend stacking the pieces you are sewing on top of eachother, with the good sides facing inward like a sandwich, and stitch the edges that way to make sure the good side of the scarf lays flat with no visible stitches or seams.
I also recommend weaving ends in as you go, as this can be a daunting project with just the ends alone!
Tassels
If you don’t have a tassel maker, you can use your phone, or cut out a 6 inch piece of cardboard as a guide. Wrap yarn around the guide 20-25 times.
Fold a strand around one end.
Cut yarn on the bottom and remove the guide.
Fold a strand around the top of your tassel.
Trim the bottom to make sure it's even.
Make 4, 2 for each end of the scarf.
Tassel tip: Using all of the colours of the scarf in the tassels really ties it all together but monochromatic tassels are also cute!
This scarf makes a great gift for any loved one that you think might need a hug this winter! The airy gauge of these granny squares makes this scarf breathable but still ultra cozy, and there are so many cute ways to wear it making it an easy grab-and-go accessory that everyone needs to have in their closet!
