“Skinny Ripples” Scarf – Free Crochet Pattern
Free Crochet Pattern – Skinny Ripples Scarf
For this weeks free crochet pattern I wanted to do something easy, fashionable, and functional. Skinny scarves are a must have accessory item, for those days when you want a little something to brighten up your outfit, but nothing too bulky.
The ripple is such a crochet classic, and by using it a fun way with some bright colors it becomes modern and chic. I’ve heard that fringe is “on trend” right now, and they just looked great with the ripple so I went with it. If you’d prefer to NOT have fringe, that is ok, of course. You’ll have a few tails to weave in but no biggie. As is, the scarf measures 6′ long (without fringe) by 2-1/2″ wide”. It can be made longer (or shorter) by chaining any multiple of 7, then adding 6 more chains on top of that. To make it a thick scarf, just keep repeating rows 2 and 3 until it’s wide enough to suit your liking.
If you want more than two colors I say go for it! Use up those little leftover bits of yarn and you’ll have an excuse to buy more.

What’s Difference between back loop in back bump?
Back loop is the back (or 2nd) loop. Back bump is the 3rd loop (behind the back bump). I usually only use this when I’m working into a chain. If it’s too much trouble you can absolutely work into the back loop instead, it won’t make much of a difference.
