13 Free Crochet Scarf Patterns – The Best Fall Clothing Accessory!

Folks, we have officially hit September.
Soon, the hot summer days will be long gone and fall accessories will have their time to shine.
Scarves and cowls are the first things I think of when it comes to fall accessories. There’s nothing like being wrapped up in a giant scarf with a cool fall breeze coming right at you. The coziness is unbeatable.
So to celebrate the coming return of fall weather, I’ve rounded up a list of thirteen cowls and crochet scarf patterns to make this fall.
13 Cozy & Free Crochet Scarf Patterns
1. North Ridge Bulky Crochet Cowl
This is easily one of the coziest cowls I’ve ever seen. The bulky yarn gives is a puffy and cozy texture, and it’s great for beginners.
You can find the pattern for free here.
2. Gathered Buds Keyhole Crochet Scarf
This was a type of scarf I’d never seen before and I have to say I think it’s a new favorite. The design is minimalist but effective, as well as functional (don’t have to worry about it falling off!)
The pattern is available for free here.
3. Margaret Button Crochet Cowl Pattern
This cowl uses a unique stitch to create its beautiful pattern and can be closed with the horn button off to the side.
The pattern is available for free here.
4. Griddle Stitch Crochet Scarf Pattern
I had never heard of the griddle before I stumbled upon this pattern, and it turns out it’s a great stitch for beginners! It’s just alternated double and single crochets that create a really pretty texture.
You can find the pattern for free here.
5. Round Shell Stitch Crochet Cowl
This crochet cowl is made in a round using the shell stitch for a simple and refined look.
The pattern is available for free on All About Ami’s website here.
6. Squish Crochet Cowl Pattern
If you couldn’t tell from the name of this pattern, this cowl is about as squishy and soft as it gets. It’s made with one skein and can be made very quickly.
You can get the pattern for free here.
7. Vanilla Latte Super Scarf
This pattern has the word super in it for a reason!
This oversized scarf will be perfect for colder fall days and honestly, it can double as a shawl and be shared with a friend at a football game or campfire.
You can get the pattern for free here.
8. Desert Winds Crochet Scarf Pattern
I’m loving the triangle shape of his scarf as well as its desert-inspired color palette. It uses Caron Cakes yarn, which gives you an effortless color-blocked look.
You can find the pattern for free on Make and Do Crew’s website here.
9. Windowpane Plaid Crochet Scarf
Plaid is a quintessential fall pattern, and this plaid scarf will make a perfect addition to your fall wardrobe.
Don’t be fooled by the complex-looking pattern; it actually only uses double crochet. Can you believe it?
The pattern is available for free here.
10. V-Stitch Crochet Cowl Pattern
This crochet cowl actually doubles as a wrap just in case it’s a little colder and is versatile enough to be worn out with friends or a football game.

11. Everglade Crochet Cowl
This cowl is lightweight enough from those end-of-summer days and features several beautiful shades of green. It’s suitable for beginners and advanced crocheters alike.
The pattern is available for free on Desert Blossom Crafts’ website here.
12. Autumn Leaves Crochet Cowl
As the name suggests, this cowl uses a fall-themed color palette and is done in an elegant lacy design.
