You might be familiar with the Artfully Simple Infinity Scarf - it's one of the most popular patterns ever on Moogly! But there's one request that pops up from time to time... a scarf with the same great look and style, but two ends (aka, not an infinity)! Well, at long last I present the Artfully Simple Angled Scarf!
Disclaimer: This post includes affiliate links.
The Artfully Simple Angled Scarf uses the same stitch pattern as the Artfully Simple Infinity Scarf, but worked in rows instead of rounds. To keep the stitches lined up, there are simple increases at one end, and decreases at the other. This creates these great angled ends! And all with just one skein!
But really, it's about as simple as the original! And the Artfully Simple Angled Scarf features just as many wearing options - including as a wrap!
I've made this one in gorgeous Knit Picks Stroll Tonal, in Wine Tasting. I love the way the hand-painted colors blend and work together, and the large mesh keeps pooling at bay! By making it in fingering weight, it's light enough for year round wear - so light I can pull the whole thing through my wedding ring! Try a thicker yarn for a winter weight ASAS!

HOW SIMPLE IS IT? THIS SIMPLE!
This pattern can begin with any multiple of 7, plus 4. So you could start with just 11 chains, or 18, or even 704. I've included a starting chain count, but I want to encourage you to make this one your own, in just the length you want! Like it's predecessor, it's incredibly easy - and there's NO COUNTING NEEDED! Here's how:
- Make the slip knot at the beginning a little loose - avoid tightening it up too much.
- Then just chain until you've got the length you want, and work the stitch pattern for Row 1, until there's not enough chains left for another repeat, finishing with the decrease as directed.
- There will likely be 1-6 chains left over. Undo the slip knot (use a tapestry needle to pull it apart if needed), and un-weave the extra chains until you're at the last finished stitch.
- Pull the end through that last loop to create a new knot at the new "beginning" of your chain! Voila! Go to Row 2!
This technique can actually be used with almost any pattern that calls for a super long chain. As long as you have *enough* chains, you're golden! Give it a try! Now on to the pattern...
Row 1: Ch 284 (or as instructed above), dc in 4th ch from hook (skipped chs count as 1st dc), ch 5, skip 5 chs, *dc in the next 2 chs, ch 5, skip 5 chs; repeat from * until 2 chs remain, dc2tog over last 2 chs, turn.
Row 2: Ch 2 (does not count as a st), dc2tog in 1st st and ch-5 sp, ch 5, skip the next st, *dc in next st, dc in next ch-5 sp, ch 5, skip the next st; repeat from * until 1 st remains, 2 dc in last st, turn.
Row 3: Ch 2, 2 dc in 1st st, ch 5, skip the next st, *dc in the next ch-5 sp, dc in the next st, ch 5, skip the next st; repeat from * to last ch-5 sp, dc2tog in last ch-5 sp and last st, turn.
Rows 4 - end: Repeat Rows 2-3 until you run out of yarn or are happy with the width. I stopped at 32 rows, when I didn't have enough left for another full row.
At that's it! Wrap it, tie it, wear it over your shoulder for a super light wrap - this is going to be my new favorite crocheted item for traveling! I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do!

Thank you for this lovely pattern. I can't wait to get started on it. I am grateful to you for sharing it with us free of charge.
Tamara Kelly
😀 Thank you so much Josee!
Jan
Thank you! I have been looking for a lite weight scarf to go with a dress I have!
Tamara Kelly
😀 I'm so glad you like it! Thank you!
dianne
Love it! Quick, easy, light. I am always looking for things to crochet that I can wear in our hot 100+ degree desert summers. This would last at least through a church morning before I ripped it off lol.
Tamara Kelly
😀 Thanks Dianne!
Angie
Yet another Moogly pattern I won't be able to resist for long....
Tamara Kelly
😀
sara
How kind of you to share this pattern with us! Thank you so much!
I just ordered two skiens, each a different colors. I cannot WAIT to start!
Again, thank you!
Tamara Kelly
😀 Thank you so much Sara!
Huskielady
I wish I could buy this wool in the UK 🙁
Tamara Kelly
I'm sorry, but this pattern should work well with whatever you do have available! 🙂
Megan
This is the pattern I have been waiting for! I have some bamboo yarn in my stash and a new Furl's hook arriving Monday. Thanks, Tamara
Shelley
Hi Tamara,
As always, love your patterns and videos! You are my go to girl for anything new and exciting. By chance, do you have time to do a quick video on The Artfully Simple Angled Scarf? Thank you!
Shelley
Oops! My bad! just noticed you already did a video. Sorry!!
Tamara Kelly
I did for the Artfully Simple Infinity Scarf, but not the new Angled version. It's similar, but in rows instead of rounds. You aren't the first to ask for a video for this one though, so I'm putting it on my calendar as the next video I'll do! 🙂
Mary baribeau
Dear Tamara,
Thank you for another great pattern. I look forward to reading your blog and your new patterns. For this wrap can you substitute a blend of Mohair? I have never worked with this type of this type of yarn. I also have purchased some Cashmere yarn. I decided that after 37 years of crocheting, it was time to branch out and try a new yarn. I have been working with cotton yarn. I am going to be doing a project for myself using #10 cotton thread. I am having a 40 year class reunion with a luau theme. I would like to have a wrap to take with me because I get cold very easily. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Tamara Kelly
Hi Mary! You can use any type of yarn you like with this pattern! 🙂 I would recommend that you be careful and attentive while crocheting with mohair though, as pulling out mistakes can be rather difficult with that particular fiber! This is an easy pattern though, so a good choice for it. 🙂
MARY BARIBEAU
Hi Tamara,
Thank you for the information about working with Mohair yarn. I appreciate your help.
diana
thank you for the pattern for this scarf!! would a heavy crochet thread work for this?
Tamara Kelly
Thank you Diana! Any weight yarn or thread would work with this pattern - it's very versatile!
lINDA
Hi Tamara.....
I love this pattern and have the yarn on hand for it but think I am going to have to wait for your video to master it. My
practice piece is close but not quite right and I am not certain why. It is a simple pattern and it frustrates me that something isn't right but I tend to be more of a visual learner so I am sure when I see your video I will conquer it! Thank you for all your hard work.
Tamara Kelly
Thank you Linda! It'll be the very next one I make! 🙂
Angela
Can't wait! I too am doing something wrong although I can't figure out what!! Thank you so much for posting!
Erin
I just finished making this. I am using Loops and Threads Woolike in a solid red. I am curious how you hid your ends? My guess would be to just go down through the dc posts? Also, do you think it would benefit from blocking? I love the drape this has and how light and soft. I made this as a gift for my mom, but will have to make one for me now too.
Tamara Kelly
Weaving in the ends is the only tricky part! Yes, down through the dc sts as best you can. This is one of the rare occasions when a little knot isn't a bad idea either. I tried blocking mine but it was so darn stretchy I think the most you can do is just dampen it and then sort of spread it out on a drying rack. 🙂 But if you like the way it looks without blocking, I'd just skip it for this one! 🙂
shelly
I think I am going to like this one....totally making this... ty for the pattern!!
Tamara Kelly
😀 You're very welcome!
rogue1
Is this size after blocking?
Tamara Kelly
This pattern doesn't really require blocking, and it's very very stretchy, making an exact measurement difficult, but I would imagine a hard block would make it even bigger - and take more floor space than I have available!
Peg
Dear Tamara,
I thought I had this pattern down, but after another many rows (long ones), I realize something is wrong AGAIN! I am anxiously awaiting your video of this pattern. I think the beginnings and endings of the rows are the problems. Ex: what stitch are you talking about and where and how! Unfortunately for you, some of us are not as advanced as you might hope. Please be as elementary in your video as possible. I am sure many of us newbies would like to master the pattern. Thanks, Tamara.
Peg
Tamara Kelly
I will definitely focus on the ends! 🙂 Coming next week, if all goes well!
Peg
Thanks, Tamara. I have now decided to wait for the video. I am also happy in reading the comments, that I am not the only one having some difficulty. You are so kind to share these wonderful patterns and to make videos for those of us who need them. Thanks for your lovely work...truly a gift for the rest of us.
Peg
Tamara Kelly
🙂 Thank you Peg! I'm hoping to film tonight to have it up next week!
Peg
Thanks, Tamara. I have now decided to wait for the video. I am also happy in reading the comments, that I am not the only one having some difficulty. You are so kind to share these wonderful patterns and to make videos for those of us who need them. Thanks for your lovely work...truly a gift for the rest of us.

Christine
Love, love, love this pattern! However, I am several rows into it and realized that my scarf is not long enough. Is there any way to lengthen it without starting over? I am using Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable which is almost impossible to undo.
Tamara Kelly
Thank you Christine! I suppose you could join to the first row (the chain) on the increasing side and chain more, and then work back and forth, treating the increase end as a normal set of 2 dcs, and slip stitching to the already finished rows. It would take some playing around with, but it is doable!
Christine
Thank you! I will try that.
adie
I made this in 2 short sessions using a lovely variegated/hand painted cotton/bamboo yarn called Alumco by araucania yarns- it's gorgeous! The yarn drapes well and has a tiny bit of sheen and is gorgeous in this design. I'm quite happy. I believe the yarn I used is a "sport" weight- so I eyeballed and made it similar in length to another scarf I had and followed your instructions. Thanks for the video- useful and necessary to get the idea of making it on the bias, sort of. I really like those tapered ends- makes it lay nicely and adds even more interest and texture. 🙂 I believe I'll make more in other colors- great gift idea!
Tamara Kelly
😀 Thank you Adie! It sounds lovely!
Marie
hello. I just made a scarf for myself. It is lovely. When speaking with my step daughter about it she wants one with bangles on the yarn. She is about a 2x in blouses. Do I have to make it longer and how much yarn would I need for it?
Tamara Kelly
I'm a 3X and it fits me fine, so you shouldn't have to adjust it. 🙂
Sharon
I absolutely LOVE this pattern but a suggestion to those that may not have started this yet - measure your length once you finish your chains. I just finished this with the knit picks tonal yarn in pond and size H hook with 284 chains but my scarf is only 50 inches long instead of 76 inches. I love how it looks but wanted to be able to wear it all the fabulous ways shown in the pictures so I will need to frog it and will need to use more than one skein. Lesson learned that I should have measured it instead of eye balling. Thank you for a great pattern! It is such a great look that I am willing to frog it and start all over.
Tamara Kelly
Thank you Sharon!
Jamie
Did you block the scarf ?
Tamara Kelly
I tried, but it's so stretchy it was hard to do! Getting it damp and spreading it out to dry was about as far as I went with that. 🙂
Amanda
@Tamara Kelly- Thanks for this awesome pattern. Now to get a better understanding on how to make it because I'm fairly new at crocheting. I've made a couple of Angel Stitch scarves, & a slouch hat. Now, in this tutorial it says chain 284, but in your video it says chain 25, & I know it was just for the video tutorial, so I get the pattern, but don't know how many chains to start with. I want to make an adult size, as pictured in this tutorial, so if you could email me and explain in detail as best as you can, I would truly appreciate it!
Tamara Kelly
Hi Amanda, and thank you! The video was just a small sample size of the pattern, so for a full adult size scarf you'll want to start with the 284 chains. 🙂
Amanda
Thanks! I got started on it and is very easy! Can't wait to show the finished product! 😉
Tamara Kelly
😀 I'm so glad to hear it!
Brenda
Thank you for sharing. I love it!
Maryam
Hi! Loved it and have started but I wanted to be sure that it turned out Rectangle, right?
Tamara Kelly
No, it's a parallelogram - the ends are angled, hence the name.
Marrie
Hi idiot! You can simply do stitches instead of wasting time on dc2tog or 2dc In 1 st. Simple as this : 2 dc in next 2 stitches and then ch. 5, skip 5, 2 dc in next 2, then ch. 5 and skip five and so on n on... You are wasting your tym and making us wasting our time! I apologize fo' being rude but I am enraged of understanding this! Stupid, make it easy... If you think u r right or have any argument, dare to reply. Sorry but thats the real way I AM! 🙁
Amanda
WoW, no need to come on here and call people names. If you have a different way of doing something, then go do it & move on. I'm a newbie and since i'm not familiar with all the short cut lingo, I watched the video tutorial, (located on this page) and picked it right up. This lady was nice enough to share her pattern AND do a small video tutorial so show us how to do it, and she did an AWESOME job in doing so. If you're so confused then go do it the way you want...no need to come on someone's thread and start name calling and challenging, just go do it your way.
MARrie
Thanks for kind compliment but yes... It was way to tell you ppl about short cut. Verily, i'll not do that again but it was to help so go away! -_-
Anamanda
@marie, i wasn't complimenting you, i was complimenting the person who shared with us her pattern. What i was saying to you is that it was very rude of you to cone on here and call someone an idiot just because you didn't understand their pattern. All you have to do is ask for help. Like i said, if you had a different way to do it, then just share it, or don't, but there was no need for you to come on here and call someone an idiot! If you are "confused" then maybe just go find another way to do it!
Amanda
@MARrie, i was in NO way complimenting you. If you have another way of doing it, then share or don't but YOU do NOT have to come on here and call people idiots b/c you didn't understand the pattern in writing. She did a wonderful job in the tutorial even if i didn't understand short cut lingo. Maybe instead of calling someone an idiot you can enlighten us with a more mature approach....otherwise, just move On!
Tamara Kelly
You are welcome to do it however you like - I prefer my method, you clearly prefer yours. I do not appreciate being called an idiot, however. If you are enraged because you cannot understand it, there is a video tutorial.
Marrie
I truly apologize for what I said to this creative n kind teacher from whom I learned too much! I was enraged on wasting my tym on understanding this and ended up by thinking of my own stitch! My school teacher was mad at me as i wasted my thpym on this and didn't kearnt the test for school that she asked me to. It was not a single mistake of yours but I was confused that u only posted this for us instead I said lyk that 🙁 I am sorry but my doctor also says that my temper is high and I dont think about anything while I am enraged. I regret for that N I mean it. Sorry once again. Reply if you accept my sorry!!
Tamara Kelly
Thank you Marrie, I appreciate that.
Marrie
Welcome! And Thanks soo much 🙂
Susan
I am having trouble getting this pattern to print out correctly. I can only get the supplies and first row, then I get blank pages. Any tips on printing? Thank you.
Tamara Kelly
Hi Susan! Have you tried the green Print Friendly button at the bottom of the post? If it's acting up on you, the easiest solution might be to cut and paste the portions you want into a word doc.
Susan
Thanks, Tamara! I did the copy and paste thing. Wouldn't work with the printer friendly button but I hadn't thought of trying cut & paste;O))
Tamara Kelly
I'm glad you were able to find a way! I don't own the Print Friendly thing, it links to an external program, so I can't really do anything when it randomly frizzes out, unfortunately.
Albertine
Hi Tamara,
Is there a specific reason you didn't start the rows with the Chainless Starting Double Crochet? I know you like them 😉
It does go faster with the chain 2...
Tamara Kelly
The Chainless starting double crochet is an optional start, for those who know and are familiar with how to use it. This pattern I wanted to keep as simple as possible though. 🙂
Janet
Look great can't wait to get started. Love your patterns.have made several Artfully Simple scarves.
Thank you for the patterns.
Tamara Kelly
Thank you! 😀
MizD
The pattern does not follow the diagram. Row two should be dbl in ch5 so then 1st st. To follow the angle.
MizD
I see it now, duh
k
I'm in love with this site! Thank you for sharing your creativity with us all! I'm currently working on two of these, one in a (sorta) worsted weight, the other in a fine yarn. They are both turning out fabulously! Thanks again! K
Tamara Kelly
😀 Thank you so much k!
Elizabeth
Hi, I loved this pattern, and I had no problem with it. But I'm feeling kind of dumb about weaving in the ends. There's not much to weave into. Did you just go straight through the chains? How did you do it? Thanks!
Tamara Kelly
Very carefully! 😉 Yes, you sort of weave in and out of the chains, putting the end in a pair of dc sts. When it's being worn you generally don't look closely at the individual stitches, so you can really put those dc sts to use for the ends. 🙂
Janet
Hi Tamara,
First, thank you for sharing the ASAS pattern. You are very talented. Every time I wear mine, I get positive comments. They can't believe someone could actually make it. I was looking for a label wrap for the ASAS. Is there one? If not, when you have time, would you please make one? Thank you! Janet, Phila., PA
Tamara Kelly
Thank you so much Janet, I'm so glad to hear it! There isn't one yet, but I definitely have it on my to-do list to do before the holidays! 🙂
Janet
Thanks Tamara! ?
Jeanette
Thank you for sharing another lovely pattern. You are so talented. I have been a fan of your blog since the Artfully Simple Infinity Scarf and the videos are so helpful. I have made 2 using Yarn Bee Soft Secret Yarn from Hobby Lobby and they turned out beautiful. The yarn is soft and stretchy. They both ended up being shorter than I had hoped as i tend to crochet quite tight. I can't wait to get started on this new scarf. Thanks again.
Tamara Kelly
Thank you so much Jeanette! I really appreciate it!
Amanda
I was wondering if you could use 2 fine yarn since that yarn is really thin & if so what size hook should be used? Thanks~
Gabrielle
I LOVE this pattern, and several other patterns of yours. I am on my 3rd Artfully Simple Angled Scarf! I love it! With thin, or thick yarn its absolutely beautiful!
Tamara Kelly
Thank you! 🙂
Francoise
Hi Tamara, just wondering if this will work using say 32 chains, and working the scarf from the short side. In other words, conintinue until the scarf is the right length. Rather than working up a short length across the wide width.
Tamara Kelly
I don't see why not! 😀
Kathryn J. Fay
Good morning I used my bleeding board over the weekend and makes Rolags over the weekend and now I am go to spin the Rolags can I was this yarn that I make for this pattern do I have to ply it . Thank you Kathryn Fay
Tamara Kelly
I think it would look amazing in un-plyed yarn! 😀
Kathryn J. Fay
Oh I am sorry I meant Blending Bored
Kathryn J. fAy
Hi Tamara I am going to make this I will be blending in a black tuqoesblue and sliver Colbert blue and very little whiter hank you
Tamara Kelly
Sounds beautiful! Thank you!
Mary P
Thank you so much for sharing this pattern! I have made a couple of these for gifts using fingering weight yarn. The recipients were delighted! I'm almost finished with one for me made with fingering weight baby alpaca yarn! Soooo soft! Thanks again!
Tamara Kelly
Thank you so much Mary!! 😀
LeeAnn
Tamara-
I LOVE this scarf! S pretty. After reading through the comments, I haven't seen this addressed yet. I would like to make this in some gorgeous worsted weight that I have (it's been waiting for a special project!). My question is what is the stitch multiple, or is there one? I wonder about how the size would change with a different yarn. Any feedback you could give me about this would be very helpful!
Tamara Kelly
Thank you so much LeeAnn! The stitch multiple is listed in the pattern above, below the bullet points. Making it in worsted would make it bigger, but you can use this technique to customize the size without counting first or having to worry about the math: https://www.mooglyblog.com/long-starting-chains-made-easy/
Carol Georgiou
Thank you so much Tamara for providing this pattern for free. It's just gorgeous. I've made the Artfully Simple cowl and just love it too. I'm fairly new to crochet but thanks to you and your well written instructions I'm learning very fast. I really admire your skill and look forward to my facebook feeds from your site. I particularly like that you put in the different yarns types like 'ply' etc. Living in Australia we can't get the huge range of yarns that you have in the USA without spending zillions on postage. You are such an inspiration!
Tamara Kelly
Thank you so much Carol! 😀 I am so honored! ♥
Diana
You have a great eye for structure, aesthetics, and space. Thanks for your generosity in sharing your patterns!
Tamara Kelly
Thank you so very much Diana!
Cherie
Just one simple question. Is the chain you make the length of the project and everything else the width? Could it be the other way around if need be.
Tamara Kelly
Yes, it's the length. 🙂 You could do it the other way, though the fabric would hang a little differently.
Kathy
Your No-Counting Trick is spectacular. Thanks! I once tossed aside a pattern I liked because it started as "Chain 476." I knew I'd never make it without losing count.
Tamara Kelly
😀 I'm so glad you find it helpful Kathy!
Sandy Hunegs
Thank you for the free pattern. I bought many skeins of Shawl-in-a-ball yarn on clearance and I’m trying to use them up. One skein gave me a 15” x 72” scarf with 29 rows. I like that I can easily adjust the pattern to be shorter and wider if I like. Thanks again!
Tamara Kelly
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you Sandy!
V
Thanks so much for the chart, it makes everything simple for me! I made one ages ago, with a Sammy hank go subtly coloured DK bamboo. Now about to use a long Gradient lace weight wool. So versatile. Such generous sharing
Tamara Kelly
♥ Thank you so much!
Dianne
I’m totally confused, in your chart I do not see where you have the chain 2 when beginning Row 3. Am I missing something?
Tamara Kelly
Sorry about that Dianne! In retrospect I should have included it. However, I would recommend using a CSDC/dc2tog instead if you can, to upgrade the pattern's finished look. 🙂
