I made my Winter Haven Scarf sample with Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice. I used a #4 medium weight worsted, but you could really use almost any yarn you like, just be sure to adjust the hook size to the recommended one for your yarn plus one size larger.

For the Winter Haven Scarf I chose a combination of stitches to provide lots of texture for solid colors, but I think it lends itself nicely to multi color versions too! This stitch pattern is an easy version of a crossed stitch variation combined with slip stitches. Watch the design and texture pop!
I don’t like very long or wide scarves so I designed this one to be approximately 6″ x 49″ , however, it’s super easy to adjust sizing. Simply work your beginning chain to whatever length you like – just be sure to start with increments of 2 chains and make as many row repeats as you like to achieve the width you want!
I designed this scarf to be worn in a variety of configurations. You can leave the buttons off and wear it hanging or wrapped, you can wrap it several times and button it on the ends for a shorter cowl look, or you can button it along the long edge of the scarf using the holes made by the stitches, as your buttonholes! And for another fun variation, add some fringe!

Scarf:
You will have 170 sts in each row, unless otherwise noted.
Row 1: Ch 171, working along back bump of chain, sl st in 2nd ch from hook and each ch to end.
Note: If you want to change the length of the scarf, add/decrease the beginning chain in increments of 2.
Row 2: Ch1, turn, working in BLO, sl st in each st to end.
Row 3 (Right Side Row): Ch1, turn, working in BLO, hdc in first st, [skip next st, hdc in next st, working in front of st just made, hdc in skipped st], repeat between [ ] until there is 1 st left, hdc in last st.
Rows 4: Ch1, turn, working in both loops, hdc in first st, [skip next st, hdc in next st, working in front of st just made, hdc in skipped st], repeat between [ ] until there is 1 st left, hdc in last st.
Rows 5 & 6: Ch1, turn, working in BLO, sl st in each st to end.
Rows 7 to 22: Repeat Rows 3 to 6. Do not fasten off.
Note: If you want to change the width of the scarf, add/decrease the number of repeats of Rows 3 to 6.
First Edge:
For the edge rows, work the first and last st in BOTH loops and the remaining sts in BLO. You will have the same number of sts in each row, I had 22.
Row 1: Turn to work along the short side of scarf, ch1, sc evenly across to end – I ended up with 22 sc, you may have more or less, just make sure it lays flat with no puckering.
Rows 2 to 4: Ch1, turn, working in BLO, sl st in each st to end.
Row 5: Ch2 (does not count as a st), working in BLO, dc in first st, dc in each st until there is 1 left, dc in last st.
Rows 6 and 7: Ch1, turn, working in BLO, sl st in each st to end. Fasten off after last repeat.
Second Edge:
Sew buttons in place on right side, evenly spaced. Use the spaces in Row 5 of the First Edge to button scarf on end. You can also wear the scarf in many other configurations and use the holes created by the stitches to button it in place!
Fringe:
I did not add fringe to this particular scarf, but I think it would be a nice touch. If you’d like to add some fringe to yours, feel free to check out my free video tutorial!
