Here Comes The Sun Scarf by Melu Crochet

A Fun & Easy Crochet Triangle Scarf – Perfect for Color-Changing Yarn!

I had so much fun taking part in the Hobbii challenge, and as soon as I got my hands on this gorgeous Colorina yarn, I knew I wanted to create something that really showed off its beautiful colour changes! That’s how this triangle scarf came to life – with mini pom-poms to add a fun and pretty edging and a design that lets the sun shine right through. 🌞

What You’ll Need:

Yarn: 100g DK (light, category 3) I used Hobbii Colorina – Spring Street (11)
Hook: 5.5mm
Extras: Yarn needle

How It Works:

This scarf is made from side to side, growing in size until you reach the peak of the triangle, then decreasing back down. I used one skein for increasing and the second skein for decreasing—so no yarn goes to waste!

Final Size: 229cm (90 inches) long x 30cm (12 inches) wide (including the mini pom-poms).

Why You’ll Love This Pattern:

✔ Perfect for color-changing yarn – the pom-poms match your stripes naturally!
✔ No waste! – Just split your skein in half and use one part for each section.
✔ No-sew pom-poms! – They’re worked as you go, so no worries about them falling off.
✔ Works with any yarn! – Just adjust your hook size to match.

This pattern is quick, fun, and beginner-friendly, with an easy-to-follow crochet chart and stitch guide included.

If you’ve got a special skein of yarn waiting for the perfect project, this might just be it!

My Here Comes the Sun Scarf is now available to download in both UK and US Terminology in my Etsy shop, LoveCrafts shop, in my Payhip and on Ravelry.

It is also available in English (US Terms), German, Danish, French, Dutch, Norwegian and Swedish from my Hobbii shop

The Hobbii Challenge

Here is my #HereComesTheSun project, for a challenge by @hobbii_yarn ‘to draw inspiration from the color that reminds us the most of Easter ✨ YELLOW ✨ ‘
I’ve taken so much inspiration from this yarn, the colour sequence works so well with a side to side construction! I have used a filet to add small holes that the sun shines through and modified the usual bobble pom poms to be smaller. I’m really enjoying it! ☀️😁🙌.

Ok to be honest when I first heard of this challenge I was a bit unsure of what I would do, my first thoughts were ‘oh no yellow!’ But when I thought about it a bit more and looked at all my projects I realised that I use lots of different shades of yellow and I really like mustard! 💛

As you can probably tell I am very ‘in’ to colour changing yarn, and when I saw this gorgeous Colorina it was the answer to my problem. I really like colour changing yarn as it help helps you create something coordinated and well blended without the worry of picking out colours and making sure they go together and never forget- only two ends 🤣👏🙌
I’m really inspired by this yarn and am excited to get experimenting!

Also I have been singing “Here comes the Sun” ever since I have been asked to do this! (Sorry family 🎶👩🏻‍🎤🤣)

Materials

5.5mm hook- I used FURLS Streamline Teak Crochet Hook

2 x 50g Hobbii Colorina yarn – I used Spring Street (11)

Yarn Needle

Size

This triangular pattern is worked from side to side, increasing until you have the desired height at the apex of the triangle, and then decreasing. The scarf in the photo was made using 2 skeins of Hobbii Colorina with a 5.5mm hook. Use the first 50g for the increase, and then use the second 50g for the decrease – this will make sure there is no waste and you don’t run out. At the apex there are 42 tr stitches, giving a measurement for the scarf of 229cm (90 inch) x 30cm (12 inch) (including mini pom poms).

This is a quick and easy pattern, the pom pom edging is worked as you go along so it is a great pattern for using colour change yarn, as the pompoms will match the colour of your stripes. Unlike tassels or sewn on pom-poms, you don’t need to worry about them coming off.

Double stranded!

Any yarn weight can be used, hook size should be adjusted accordingly for the recommended size for your yarn- but remember this will affect the finished size. To ensure you make the most of a special skein, weigh it, half the weight then use the first half of the skein for the increase, second half of the skein for the decrease.

The following three scarves use the same pattern as my Here Comes the Sun scarf, but they use two balls of Colorina yarn held together. They weigh the same as the original, due to the yarn being thicker (because it is double stranded) however, you have fewer repeats and therefore it takes about a quarter of the time to make! 🙌

I know I go on about ENDS but I love a project that doesn’t create many- this one is particularly good- only 2!!! (Well 4 if you count the double strands, but you sew them at the same time so I’m not counting them 😁)

This version is crocheted in the fabulous Universe XL Halloween Zombie Planet (03) I just used 1 100g skein for this one but the pattern allows you to use the whole of a skein by weighing it, then using half for the increase, then the other half for the decrease – no waste 🙌😁
