The Mattina Scarf is a beautiful lightweight scarf that you can wear through the winter and spring months. It is crocheted using the textured triangle stitch.
Inspiration
I don’t know about you, but I love springtime! The flowers start to bloom, the weather becomes a little warmer and the kids can finally go out and play! Sometimes my boys can get a little stir crazy being inside all the time. It’s nice to go outside and breath in some fresh air!
Even though Spring is right around the corner, it’s still a little nippy in the morning when I drive my son to school. All the scarves that I own are bulky and are meant for chilly, freezing weather. So I wanted to crochet a scarf that I could wear as we head into Spring.

The Yarn
The Mattina Scarf is perfect for the transitioning weather. It is crocheted using Lion Brand’s Feels Like Butta yarn. This yarn is so soft! It it truly amazing. This yarn is like no yarn I have ever felt before! Not only is this yarn perfect for crocheting accessories, but it would be amazing for a baby blanket as well. It comes in a number of pastels but also darker and richer colors for accessories.
The color I chose for my scarf is Ice. Something about the color reminded me of Spring. You can make this scarf as long or as short as you would like. I added fringe but it is totally optional.

Continue repeating rows 2 thru 5 for the remainder of the scarf. I used roughly 2 1/2 skeins.

Hi Mary,
I’m going over the Mattina Scarf pattern, and am getting hung up on the last stitch in line 3:
Then, complete a sc under the ch.3 of previous row. (24)
I don’t understand why I am adding a stitch at the end of the row, ‘complete a sc under the ch. 3 of the previous row’. My sample is getting wider and wider, and the ends of the rows looks almost like I’m crocheting down the side of my work. I’m not sure what I am missing. I watched 2 videos of this stitch and didn’t see that step, which is adding to my confusion.
Thank you for any clarification you can give me.
Hi Laurie!
You should have 24 sc at the end of row 3. After the last ch-2 space, you should have 22 sc. You then sc in the top of the last triangle stitch and then under the ch.3 of the previous row to end with 24 stitches. You should have 11 triangles in row 3. I hope that helps!
I wonder if you can steer me with the number of stitches to make this larger? Is there a certain number to aim for with pattern repeat? Thanks!
You can make this scarf bigger by adding stitches in a multiple of 2! Then just continue with the pattern as written 🙂
Excellent blog post. I certainly appreciate this website.
Continue the good work!
By your own instruction, a triangle uses three stitches, so how could 11 triangles fit in a row? Are you only using two stitches—going into the second stitch twice? The instructional video you link to shows the use of three stitches per triangle. Please explain, thanks.
The start of each triangle begins in the last st of the previous triangle, so technically each triangle only uses two stitches. In the last st of the row, there is no triangle and only a hdc. Hope this helps.
Hi! Just wanted to ask how long your scarf was before you added the fringe? I bought a large skein of the Feels Like Butta yarn (590 yards) and wasn’t sure of a “target” length to make the scarf… any suggestions are gladly appreciated! 🙂
Hi! The bonus bundle will be more than enough for a scarf. The length of the scarf in the pictures is 92in, which is pretty long. That length does not include fringe. Hope that helps!
Hi Mary, I’m currently making this scarf but the rows are coming out diagonal instead of straight across like yours. I like the look of the diagonal rows, but I’m just wondering how it happened. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Hmm I’m not sure why your rows are diagonal. I think a pic would help.
