Highline Ribbed Crochet Super Scarf Pattern Free: Extra-Long 100-Inch Chunky Wrap

If you want a statement winter wrap that finishes in a single afternoon, the Highline Ribbed Crochet Super Scarf combines dramatic 12″ × 100″ proportions with a clever 16-row lengthwise construction. Using super bulky Bernat® Softee® Chunky™ and an oversized 10.0 mm (US N/15) hook, you work half double crochet into the horizontal bar below the stitch across 200 stitches—forming continuous, unbroken vertical ribs framed in three bold color-blocked bands and finished with lush 4-strand knotted fringe.

Why Lengthwise Horizontal-Bar Ribbing Drapes So Well

Standard super bulky yarn worked with an 8.0 mm hook can sometimes feel stiff around the neck, but stepping up to a 10.0 mm (US N/15) hook opens up the loft of the acrylic plies so the 100-inch scarf drapes like a woven blanket wrap. Because the scarf is worked lengthwise (4 rows of Contrast A, 6 rows of Contrast B, and 6 rows of Contrast A), the raised horizontal-bar ridges run vertically from fringe to fringe without a single mid-row color join.

Materials & Custom Scarf Length Guide

To crochet the full 12″ × 100″ super scarf with color-matched fringe, gather:

• Contrast A (Outer Stripes & Outer Fringe): 5 balls (540 yds / 495 m) of Bernat® Softee® Chunky™ in Taupe Gray (28048) or Linen (28021).
• Contrast B (Center Stripe & Center Fringe): 3 balls (324 yds / 297 m) of Bernat® Softee® Chunky™ in Natural (28008) or Cinnamon (28606).
• Hook & Notions: Size U.S. N/15 (10.0 mm) crochet hook, tape measure, sharp scissors, and a large-eye tapestry needle.

Because the scarf has no multi-stitch repeat (any starting chain works!), you can easily customize the length to suit your height:

Step-by-Step Crochet Instructions

Part 1: Crocheting the Lengthwise Ribbed Scarf

Note: Scarf is worked lengthwise. Ch 2 at the beginning of a row does not count as a stitch. Be sure to chain loosely on your foundation chain so the starting edge stretches naturally with the ribbed body.

1. Foundation Chain: With Contrast A, ch 202 loosely.
2. Row 1 (RS – First Stripe A): Work 1 hdc in 3rd ch from hook. Work 1 hdc in each ch to end of chain. Turn. (200 hdc)
3. Row 2 (Core Rib Pattern Row): Ch 2. *Work 1 hdc in the horizontal bar created below the stitch in the previous row (bar is located below the loops on the WS of the work). Repeat from * across to the end of the row. Turn. (200 hdc)
4. Complete First Contrast A Band: Repeat Row 2 for 4 more rows in pattern with Contrast A. Break Contrast A and join Contrast B at the end of the last stitch.
5. Center Contrast B Band: With Contrast B, work 6 rows in pattern (repeating Row 2). Break Contrast B and join Contrast A at the end of the 6th row.
6. Second Contrast A Band: With Contrast A, work 6 rows in pattern (repeating Row 2). Fasten off and weave in yarn tails along the matching color stripes.

Part 2: Adding the 4-Strand Color-Matched Fringe

1. Cut Fringe Strands: Cut remaining Contrast A and Contrast B yarn into lengths measuring 20″ [51 cm] long.
2. Knot Matching Bundles: Hold 4 strands of the matching color together (Contrast A strands for the two outer Taupe Gray bands; Contrast B strands for the center Natural band). Fold the 4-strand bundle in half to form a loop, insert your crochet hook into the short end of the scarf, draw the loop through, pull the 8 cut tails snug through the loop, and repeat evenly across both short ends of the scarf.
3. Trim: Lay the ends flat on a table and trim the fringe evenly to roughly 8.5″–9″ long.
