Inspiration
If you’re familiar with my designs, then you know I have a lot of Picot Patterns! The picot single crochet stitch (PSC) is one of my all time favorite stitches, so I try and use it for as many designs as I can!
A few months ago, I released my Picot Bandana pattern. As I was making it, I realized that if I just kept working more rows and making it bigger, then it would be a triangle scarf! I know I wanted to make the triangle scarf version with stripes so I changed the row repeat from 4 rows (that the bandana uses) to 6 rows! It’s actually the same row repeat as my Picot Blanket pattern! This allows for even color changes between the stripes!
Yarn
The Picot Triangle Scarf uses medium (4) weight yarn. I used Lion Brand Yarn Color Theory which is one of my absolute favorites! It’s a soft, 100% acrylic yarn that’s durable and available in variety of gorgeous colors. I used the colors Bee Pollen (yellow), Canyon (red), Ivory (white), and Peacock (green).
I used less than 1 skein of each color and made a total of 8 stripes (2 of each color) for my scarf. Feel free to use as few or many colors as you’d like though! There are so many color/stripe combinations you can try like alternating between 2 contacting colors, rainbow, ombre, ect.
Sizing
The instructions below will create a triangle scarf that is approximately 46″ x 22″. You can customize the size to be any size though by working as many stripes as you’d like! I worked a total of 8 stripes (49 rows) but feel free to work more or less to get a larger or smaller scarf!
To finish the scarf off, I added a pointed border around the sides of my scarf. You can leave your scarf without a border, use a different border stitch, or even add fringe or tassels!
There are so many fun customizations you can make to this triangle scarf to make it perfect for you or the recipient you’re making it for!

SPECIAL STITCHES
Check out the video tutorial HERE if extra assistance is needed for the special stitches.
SC BLO – Single Crochet Back Loop Only
When looking at the top of a stitch you will see 2 loops. The one closest to you is the front loop and the one furthest away from you is the back loop. For a SC BLO, work a single crochet as normal but only work in the back loop of the stitch.
PSC – Picot Single Crochet
Insert your hook into the designated stitch. Pull up a loop, yarn over, and pull through the 1st loop on your hook. Yarn over and pull through the 1st loop again. Yarn over and pull through the 1st loop once more. Yarn over and pull through both loops on your hook. Push the CH 3 you just created behind so that it bumps out on the right side of your work and work the next ST.
