Free Crochet Pattern- Vintage Ripple Fan Scarf
I’ve been in the midst of trying to sell my house over the past month. For me, it is total stress. The holidays brought very few showings, but now that the season is over I am hoping that things improve. Sitting around and doing nothing is totally not my style, so as I wait for that perfect person to wander into my house and yell, “This is it!”, I have found myself taking on more and more projects.
I’d love to share a free crochet pattern called a Vintage Ripple Fan Scarf. Want to see?
The Vintage Ripple Fan Pattern comes from one of my old crochet magazines. I updated the pattern just a bit and am in the process of making a brightly colored scarf with it. And while I was at it, I even dabbled a bit in the field of videos and created a video to demonstrate the Double Triple Crochet stitches that are used in the fans of this pattern. See, I told you I’ve been industrious!
Want the pattern? Page down to the end of this post to find the free downloadable pattern along with my instructional video!
So, let’s take a closer look at the Vintage Ripple Fan Scarf Pattern. This pattern is incredibly simple. Much simpler than it looks. I am having a blast making it because I love the look of multiple bright colors and the combination of the single crochet stitches and Double Triple Crochet stitches makes it come together quite quickly!
Not so sure about that Double Triple Crochet Stitch? Well here is a short video to help you out with that. (Please disregard the Mickey Mouse voice and the ridiculous southern accent- it comes with the territory).
How to do the Double Triple Crochet Stitch (dtr)

(Click here for the printable pattern –Vintage Ripple Fan Scarf Crochet Pattern)
Important Note: All stitches are made in the back loop only.
1.With color A, Ch 55 stitches. (The scarf in the photo is a bit wider- if you want to add to the width, each fan is 9 stitches)
2. Start with second chain from hook. Do a sc in each of the next 4 st. (Do 3sc in the next stitch, then another sc in each of the next 8 st.) *repeat until last 4 stitches. Do a sc in each of the last four stitches. Chain 1, turn.
3. (Skip one sc. One sc in each of the next 4 st, 3 sc in the next, one sc in each of the next 4 st. Skip two sc.) *repeat this to the end of the row. Chain 1, turn.
4. Same as row 3. Chain 1, turn.
5. Slip-stitch into the next 3 sc, back-loop only. Chain up 6 (this counts as the first dtr in the first fan). Do a dtr in each of the next 2 stitches, 3dtr in the next, and a dtr in each of the next 3 stitches. Skip 4 sc. (Do a dtr in each of the next 3 sc, 3dtr in the next, and a dtr in each of the next 3 sc. Skip 4 sc.) *repeat to the end of the row. Chain 1, turn. (See video to help with this row)
Rows 6-8- repeat rows 2-4. Change to color B
For each color strip from this point on, repeat row 5 and then rows 2-4, changing colors after row 4. Continue with the pattern until the scarf is at the desired length.

I’m such a big crochet fanatic! I love the color scheme you have in your pattern. Thanks so much for sharing it with us at Merry Monday.
Cool pattern, I’ve never seen that stitch before!
I am so glad that you shared this at my party this week. Crochet is one of my favorite things that I don’t do anymore LOL I miss it but I just don’t have the time to add one more thing to my life right now. So, I pin great posts like this hoping to get around to it someday.
Featuring your post on Ducks n a Row Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop this week as one of my editor’s picks. ♥♥♥
This scarf pattern is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!
This looks like fun! Thanks for the great tutorial, I’ve been looking for a new crochet project~
I love your ripple scarf! Pretty colors and stitch pattern. Good luck with selling your house.
Hi Lisa!
3. (Skip one sc. One sc in each of the next 4 st, 3 sc in the next, one sc in each of the next 4 st. Skip two sc.) *repeat this to the end of the row. Chain 1, turn. 4. Same as row 3. Chain 1, turn.
What I meant by this was at the end of row 3, you will have two stitches left over from row 2 that you do not crochet in. At this point, chain 1 and turn. Skip one stitch on your new row, and continue with a repeat of row three. The two stitch increase in each fan makes up for the decreases.
Hope this helps! If you have any more questions, just let me know. Would love to see what you come up with!

I’m having a problem with the 3rd row. In the repeat section, the beginning it says skip 1 stitch to begin with then at the end says to skip 3. So after the first set, do I skip 4? Or am I misreading this? Also, if I skip the last 2 stitches then where do I put the chain one for the turn? Please help, I love love love this pattern.
Hi Stephanie!
Would love to see what you come up with! The Vintage ripple fan scarf is a great pattern, and I think it will work with lots of different color combos!

I’ve had my house on the market since August. Keeping my fingers crossed that we both sell our houses by June or next month, which would be lovely.
Just love it! I love the colors too!.. I’ll have to try this one after I finish the baby afghan for my first granddaughter. Thanks for sharing.
I might even try that pattern. It looks great and I loved the video.
