This simple waffle stitch scarf pattern is a great go-to when you need a quick gift, or when those temperatures drop!

It’s full of texture and the waffle stitch always feels so soft & squishy, plus it is a good way to learn the front post double crochet stitch and discover that it really is nothing to be scared of.

The pattern’s two-row repeat makes it very easy to memorize, and the simple stitching is appropriate for beginners ready to experience the wonder of crocheting waffles, and for more experienced crocheters who enjoy a relaxing, rhythmic project.

We use a double keyhole on this project too which means the overall length of the scarf is just 56” - this makes for a quicker project using less yarn too - so you could use that spare yarn to make a waffle hat as well - win/win!
