Introducing the stunning Neeta Chevron Scarf crochet pattern. I absolutely adore Tunisian Mosaic crochet! I love to try all of the different mosaic patterns I have in my directory and there’s never been a time that I haven’t liked the result and the finished project. So, of course, I had to make another, which is how the Neeta scarf came about.
I know, a black and white chevron crochet is bold! And adding purple borders? It’s a statement. But with a simple outfit, the design and color really pop and catch attention.
The great news is that although this project is easy to make, it looks really impressive. The Neeta Scarf Tunisian crochet pattern is a beautiful accessory that can be made quickly and easily, even if you’re a beginner. And if you’re new to the overlay Tunisian mosaic crochet technique, you’ll learn a new skill that will add an exciting twist to your crochet repertoire.

The yarn
Before we get started on the chevron scarf crochet pattern, let’s talk about the materials you’ll need. You’ll need worsted weight yarn in at least two colors. I used CraftSmart Value Yarn in white, black and purple colors.
This yarn is considered economy yarn, which isn’t a bad thing! It’s Aran weight medium 4, and 100% acrylic. It’s available in a multitude of colors!
When I’m designing, I sometimes need to undo some stitches (aka frogging). If the yarn is too delicate, it might get damaged or tangled. That’s why I choose yarn that is strong and won’t come apart easily. This way, I can make changes without ruining the yarn, which I found to be the case with CraftSmart Value Yarn.
Tunisian crochet hooks
You’ll also need a Tunisian crochet hook, size L/11 (8 mm) and a tapestry needle. The pattern is designed to be adjustable, so you don’t need to create a gauge square beforehand. Easy so far, right?
I used a hook from my interchangeable Denise hook set to make the Neeta scarf.
In Tunisian crochet, we usually use a hook that is at least 2 sizes larger than the hook recommended for the yarn. You can read a review of all the hooks I use here.

Pro Tips and Tricks
Crochet can be tricky, especially when you’re learning a new technique. So, I wanted to include some tips and tricks to help you along the way:
- Take your time and don’t rush. Crochet is meant to be relaxing, so enjoy the process!
- Make sure to keep your tension consistent throughout the project. This will ensure that your stitches are even and the chevron scarf crochet pattern looks clean.
- If you’re having trouble with the Tunisian crochet hook, try using the next larger size. This will make it easier to pick up the stitches and keep them on the hook.
- Don’t be afraid to experiment with different color combinations. The Neeta Scarf pattern looks great in black and white, but you could also try it with other colors to create a unique look.
Sizing
This pattern is written for a 8.5“ x 80” (22 cms x 203 cms) scarf, but it’s easily adjustable!
The black and white mosaic section is a repeat of 6 rows and 8 stitches –
To adjust length: add / remove rows in multiples of 6.
To adjust width: add / remove stitches in multiples of 8.

Now it’s time to dive into the pattern! The Neeta Scarf Tunisian crochet pattern is worked lengthwise, meaning you’ll be creating a long scarf. The pattern uses the overlay Tunisian mosaic crochet technique, which creates a stunning black and white chevron design. I chose to add purple borders at each end of my chevron scarf to add a pop of color. I think they finish off the scarf perfectly. This is a beginner-friendly pattern. The paid version includes a handy chart (with X’s indicating the front post extended stitches) for easy reference and is available for purchase in my Ravelry, Etsy and LoveCrochet shops.

Blocking
I recommend blocking your scarf with your preferred method of blocking before use.
I have found that steam blocking works best for acrylic yarn so I stretched out my scarf and pinned it to a blocking board and then, I steam blocked it.
