About this Design
This striking crochet scarf blends airy fingering-weight drape with bold geometric flair, featuring two-colour square motifs that echo the clean lines and playful complexity of an abstract circuit board. Each motif creates a pop of contrast—sharp intersections, tiny pathways and rhythmic grids—coming together in a design that feels modern, tech-inspired and effortlessly wearable. The lightweight yarn lets the fabric drape beautifully while still showcasing every crisp detail of the pattern. The use of back post stitches gives the finished fabric an extra squishy depth.

Whether worn long and loose or wrapped snugly for warmth, this scarf makes a statement without shouting. Its mosaic of interconnected squares feels artistic and clever; the kind of accessory that sparks compliments from makers and non-makers alike. Perfect for anyone who loves graphic design, contemporary crochet, or a scarf that delivers both style and practicality. This is a project that looks intricate but invites you to enjoy the meditative rhythm of motif-making.

This design uses a “join-as-you-go” assembly method, and I have included detailed schematics to show how to join your motifs. It is also a super-easy design that is perfect for using up scrap fingering weight/4-ply yarn or showcasing beautiful long colour gradient yarns.

The Pattern
This pattern includes 12 pages of written and charted instructions as well as links to video tutorials (produced by other people) for most of the techniques used in the design. Technical editing in 2026 by Susan Marcille Stitches (susanmarcille@gmail.com).

Gauge
A single blocked motif crocheted with a 3.0mm (UK size 11) hook measures 2.0 ins/5 cms when measured across the full width of the motif.

Yarn

• 3 yds/2.7 ms for the centre colour of each motif.
• 3 yds/2.7 ms for the border colour of each motif.
