Three-Color Crochet Ripple Scarf Pattern

This crochet ripple scarf pattern is a stunner!! It’s so luxurious and on trend that you are sure to get compliments wherever you go. Using three colors of yarn for the ripples creates a gorgeous yet easy to achieve design. The yarn is carried up the side of the scarf so there is no fastening off and weaving in ends as you go … such a huge time saver!

I designed this scarf using three coordinating colors from Zen Yarn Garden’s gorgeous gradient sets. Although the set that I received came as a Quartet, I only used three of the colors so this pattern would be perfect for the Trio options as well. Hope you enjoy this crochet ripple scarf pattern!
