The simple textured pattern of The Halcyon Pattern Collection has become my favorite stitches to crochet! I am obsessed and I can’t stop making it! I have already shared with you the patterns from this collection, The Halcyon Beanie and Cowl!
Today, I am going to share with you my newest design — The Halcyon Scarf! So, like the other two patterns from the collection, The Halcyon Scarf pattern is worked using single crochet and half double crochet slip stitch stitches. This two-row repeat scarf pattern is just fun to make! It is also a one cake/skein wonder project and absolutely works up pretty quickly!
For this project, I used the Caron Cakes in Faerie Cake (approximately 386 yards). You can definitely use any worsted weight (#4) yarn for this pattern. I haven’t tried it yet but I believe, any yarn weight will be great for this pattern. You can easily modify this scarf pattern by adjusting to the size you prefer. To make it shorter/longer, you can deduct/add some rows, and follow the increasing/decreasing pattern.
I am so excited so let’s get started!

NOTES
- Read the pattern carefully before starting.
- flat, sideways.
- The beginning ch 1 and ch 2 DO NOT count as a stitch.
- Numbers in ( ) at end of row indicate the number of stitches in that row.
- I recommend using stitch markers to mark the beginning/end of the shawl. Remember to move stitch markers as you progress.
- If you’re not familiar with the Half Double Crochet Slip Stitch (Hslst) stitch, watch this video.
- If you’re struggling with Half Double Crochet Slip Stitch 2 Together for the decreases, you can replace it with Half Double Crochet 2 Together (HDC2Tog).
- This pattern can be easily modified by adjusting to the size you prefer. To make it shorter/longer, you can deduct/add some rows, and follow the increasing/decreasing pattern.
