The Tamara Scarf is a gorgeous, lightweight crochet scarf that’s simple to make, stylish to wear, and perfect for any season.
I’m excited to share this free lightweight crochet scarf pattern with you! It’s a fun and easy project that creates a beautiful, vibrant scarf perfect for any season.
The stitch pattern is simple to learn, making it ideal for advanced beginners and beyond. But the real highlight is the yarn — I used a bold, colorful variegated yarn that gives the scarf a trendy, boho look.
My daughter loves it and pairs it with jeans and a white shirt for a casual, stylish outfit.
Prefer neutrals or solids? No problem! This scarf looks just as stunning in soft, neutral colors.

Step 1 – Crochet the scarf
CH 36 to make a foundation chain.
Step 2- Make the tassels (optional)
- Wrap the yarn around an 8 1/2-inch-wide piece of cardboard 32 times, then cut it at one end.
- For each edge of the scarf, you will make 5 fringes. Three fringes will use 4 strands each, and two fringes will use 2 strands each.
- Fold 4 strands of yarn (2 strands only for both ends) in half and use a crochet hook to pull them through the scarf. Make a knot by pulling the end through the loop. You can watch this tutorial on how to add fringe to the scarf if needed. Refer to the picture for placement.
- Take the first 4 strands and 4 strands from the following fringe and make a knot. Then, take the remaining 4 strands and add them to the next four strands to make a knot. Repeat this process to the end.
- Trim the fringe evenly.
- Cut and weave in all loose ends of yarn, attach a tag, and you are all done!
