  • Color A: Blush Pink (approx. 100g)
  • Color B: Rose Pink (approx. 100g)

  Total: approx. 300g of worsted weight yarn.

Gauge

14 dc x 8 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in pattern stitch. Achieving the correct gauge ensures your scarf matches the intended dimensions. If your gauge is off, adjust your hook size accordingly.

Step-by-Step Instructions

This scarf is worked in rows, alternating between a heart motif row and a kiss (X) motif row. The color changes create a beautiful ombre effect. Follow these detailed instructions carefully, and you'll have a gorgeous scarf in no time.

Foundation Chain

With Color A (Blush Pink), make a slip knot and chain 28. This foundation chain should be loose enough to work into easily—consider using a hook one size larger for the chain only if you tend to crochet tightly.

Row 1: Base Row

Dc in the 4th ch from the hook (the skipped chains count as your first dc). Dc in each remaining ch across. You should have 25 dc total (including the initial chain-3). Turn your work.

Row 2: Kiss (X) Motif Row

Ch 3 (this counts as your first dc). Skip the next 2 dc, work 3 dc in the next dc (this forms a cluster), ch 1, skip the next 2 dc, dc in the next dc. Repeat from to across the row. You will end with a dc in the top of the turning chain from the previous row. You should have 5 clusters and 6 single dc (including the starting and ending dc). Turn your work.

Row 3: Heart Motif Row

Ch 3 (counts as dc), dc in the next 2 dc. Work heart motif: (dc, ch 2, dc) in the next ch-1 space, dc in the next dc, ch 1, skip the next dc, dc in the next dc. Repeat from to across the row, ending with dc in the last 3 dc. Turn your work.

Row 4: Plain Row

Ch 3 (counts as dc). Dc in each dc and in each ch-1 space across the row. You should have 25 dc again. Turn your work.

Rows 5-7: Repeat the Pattern

• Row 5: Repeat Row 2 (Kiss Row).
• Row 6: Repeat Row 3 (Heart Row).
• Row 7: Repeat Row 4 (Plain Row).

Color Change to Color B

At the end of Row 7, fasten off Color A, leaving a 6-inch tail. Join Color B (Rose Pink) with a slip stitch in the last stitch worked. Weave in the loose end or leave it to weave in later.

Rows 8-14: Second Color Section

Repeat Rows 2-7 using Color B. This will give you one full repeat of the pattern (Kiss, Heart, Plain, Kiss, Heart, Plain) in Rose Pink.

Color Change to Color C

At the end of Row 14, fasten off Color B and join Color C (Deep Rose) in the same manner as before.

Rows 15-21: Final Color Section

Repeat Rows 2-7 using Color C. After completing Row 21, fasten off and weave in all loose ends with your yarn needle.

Edging

With Color C, attach your yarn to any edge of the scarf. Work a round of single crochet (sc) evenly around the entire perimeter of the scarf. When you reach each corner, work 3 sc in the corner stitch to create a neat, rounded turn. Continue around all four sides, then join with a slip stitch to the first sc. Fasten off and weave in the end.

Optional Fringe

For a playful, finished look, add fringe to both short ends of the scarf.

1. Cut 12-inch strands of yarn from each of the three colors. You'll need about 10-12 fringe bundles per end.
2. For each fringe bundle, take 3 strands of yarn (mix colors for a fun effect, or keep them uniform).
3. Fold the strands in half to create a loop.
4. Insert your crochet hook through the edge stitch of the scarf, hook the folded loop, and pull it through.
5. Pull the loose ends of the strands through the loop and tighten gently.
6. Repeat along both short ends, alternating colors as desired. Trim the fringe ends evenly with scissors.

Your Hearts and Kisses Crochet Scarf is complete! The combination of textured hearts, delicate X motifs, and the beautiful ombre gradient creates a truly special accessory. Whether you keep it for yourself or gift it to a loved one, this scarf is sure to bring warmth and joy on the coldest of days.
