Charlesworth Scarf in Berroco Remix Chunky – Crochet Pattern Summary

The Charlesworth Scarf is a striking, large-format crochet scarf designed by Mel Kennelly and worked in Berroco Remix Chunky yarn. Published as a downloadable PDF pattern, it is rated Intermediate in skill level, making it an excellent project for crocheters who are comfortable with foundational techniques and ready to explore more structured, motif-based construction. The finished scarf measures an impressive approximately 23 inches wide by 69 inches long (58.5 cm x 175.5 cm), creating a generous, wrap-worthy accessory with bold visual impact.

Design Overview

The Charlesworth Scarf is built from individual crochet motifs, each measuring 5¾ inches (14.5 cm) square after blocking. Motif-based construction is a classic crochet technique in which individual squares or medallions are worked separately and then joined together to form a larger fabric. This approach offers several advantages: it allows for portability, manageable sections of work, and a beautifully geometric finished texture. The joining of motifs also creates natural lines and structure within the scarf, giving it a sophisticated, patchwork-inspired aesthetic.

The two-color design uses Berroco Remix Chunky in #9993 Pepper (C1) and #9901 Birch (C2) — a rich, dark tone paired with a soft, light neutral. This high-contrast pairing emphasizes the geometry of the motifs and gives the scarf a bold, modern look that works equally well as a fashion accessory or a cozy everyday wrap.

Techniques Used

• Motif-based crochet construction – Individual square motifs are crocheted and assembled to form the full scarf panel
• Two-color colorwork – Alternating between Pepper (C1) and Birch (C2) across motifs to create contrast and visual rhythm
• Blocking – Essential to this pattern; gauge is measured after blocking, meaning wet or steam blocking is required to achieve the correct motif size and a polished finish
• Motif joining – Connecting individual squares into a cohesive fabric, a technique that requires attention to alignment and tension
• Finishing – Weaving in ends with a tapestry needle across multiple motifs

Stitches Used

While the full stitch list is detailed within the downloadable PDF, motif-based crochet scarves of this construction type typically incorporate a combination of foundational and decorative crochet stitches. As an Intermediate-level pattern, crocheters should be comfortable with:

• Chain stitch (ch) – Used to begin motifs and create structure within rounds
• Slip stitch (sl st) – Used for joining rounds and connecting motifs
• Single crochet (sc) – A tight, dense stitch often used in motif borders and joining
• Double crochet (dc) – A taller stitch commonly used to build the body of square motifs
• Treble or other decorative stitches – Potentially used within motif rounds to create texture and visual detail

Crocheters new to motif construction are encouraged to work a gauge swatch and block it before beginning the full project, as the pattern explicitly notes that gauge is measured after blocking.
