The Piece of Cake Triangle Scarf Crochet Pattern is just that… a piece of cake! It’s a super easy, beginner friendly triangle scarf. And it’s the perfect size for your favorite yarn cake! I used three colors I had in my stash, but I’ve also made this using exactly one yarn cake (including fringe!). It’s warm and cozy with a boho feel from the fringe. I think tassels would be a super cute option, too!

I just finished this pattern using Red Heart Ombre in purple shades. It turned out beautiful!! Thank you for the great pattern. Didn’t think I’d like the fringe, but it looks really good!!
That’s so awesome!!! Thank you 🙂
I can not figure out how to sew it together
I just can’t figure out how to sew it together after finished. It just does not look right
Hi Helen, I’m sorry you’re having trouble with this. Unfortunately, I gave this scarf as a gift so I don’t have it to show another picture of. Open the scarf on a table, bring both ends together. Overlap both the ends about 4 inches. Sew them together. I hope this helps!
Im not getting the sewing together either!?
Hi! Bring the to top corners together and overlap them about 3 – 4 inches. Then sew it together.
I like the two-tone fringe. Did you use yarn from the same skein as the scarf?
Yes 🙂
It looks like she maybe closed the back with a button, did she use some kind of closure so her scarf drapes like that?
Hi 🙂 I sewed the ends together so it’s like an infinity scarf.
Thank you it’s gawjus x
Thanks!! 🙂
How many skeins did you use? I have 3 and I was thinking of maybe making 2, one for me and one for my daughter. But I wanted to know if I have to have more. Thank you. LOVE THIS SCRAF!!
I used 1 skein 🙂
Cindy, thank you for helping me figure this out.
I don’t understand why a scarf or shawl needs any sewing
Then don’t sew it. This scarf isn’t quite large enough to stay on the shoulders by itself because it uses only 1 skein.
Is there a video for the beginning I’m just not getting it ?
No, there isn’t a video. Sorry!
Really confused when do you change colour ? Really want to make it but until I understand this I can’t thanks in advance for your help
Hi! I used a self striping yarn so there weren’t color changes or you can change colors every 8 rows
This is beautiful! I’m making it for my aunt! I’m actually using Hobby Lobby’s Yarn Bee Sugar Wheel in the color Gelato is my motto.
Thank you!!
I asked this already but don’t see it and didn’t get an answer. Sorry if it is a duplicate.
I just finished rows 5-7 but my stitch count is off. You say I should have 44 dc at the end of row 7 and I only have 42. Row 5 I have 30, row 6 I have 36, row 7 I have 42, so I am increasing 6 each row. Am I doing something wrong or is there a misprint in the pattern?
Hi! You should have 32 at the end of row 5 🙂
Thank you, I will go back and see what I did wrong.
My count is at 28 dc by the end of row 5, my other rows are where they need to be at? Not sure where I missed 4 dc stitches.. any ideas?
Row 4 had 14 dc stitches at the end..
Hi! No, I’m not sure. I would undo it and try it again 🙂
My stitch count is all messed up too, idk how Breann gets 32 after row 5, I’ve been trying to rack my brain but nothing comes out to 32.
Hi! Ch 3, dc in same stitch, then dc in the next ch space, then in the next dc, then in the ch sp… repeat across to the corner. Then 2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc in the corner space. Dc in each stitch and ch space across the other side, 2 dc in last stitch
If you watch video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5l_E_XZyWi8&t=69s
she says for row 5 ends with 2 dc but pattern says 1 dc.
Maybe that is where the count is off?
Hi! For row 5, dc in each stitch and ch space across and then dc in the last stitch again 🙂 There are 2 dc in the last stitch
Thank you for the pattern. Sad it says Day 5 of the countdown but this is the first day I have gotten in my email.
This is a beautiful scarf, the pattern is written and illustrated very well and the video is incredible easy to follow.The fringe completes the piece beautifully.
It looks very complicated but is very simple and the video goes thru every step patiently.
I have a great cake yarn in almost these colors so I’m looking forward to making this for a Christmas gift and it will be beautiful.Thank you for a great pattern and instructions,video.
My question is,do you think I need to block before adding fringe?tx
Hi! Thank you so much! I didn’t block mine 🙂
I’m also a bit confused on the row 5-7. For Row 4 I’ve got it ok, at 14 dc,
but Row 5 I keep getting 30 dc Row 6 is 36, Row 7 I get 42, not the 44 as I should have.
I’ve redone it 3 times and come up with same each time.
I’ve got the beg ch 3, then dc in same stitch, then dc in each stitch to chain 2 space, then (2dc, ch2, 2dc), then continue dc in each stitch to the last stitch and 2dc at end of row(which was the ch3 from previous row)
Would be Grateful for Any help
I figured out my count error! I was not counting the extra ch1 space, as a stitch, in the beginning and ending of row 4. Posted this in hopes of helping anyone else that may have made the same error. BTW I’m a leftie, so maybe that’s why, LOL
Ok awesome 🙂
Thanks for the pattern. Can you make it bigger by just continue with the repeats?
Yes 🙂
