Inspiration Behind the Frost Blossom Collection

The Frost Blossom Collection was born from our love of winter textures and soft, shifting colors. We wanted to create crochet pieces that were both elegant and approachable, using simple stitches to achieve eye-catching designs.

Designing this collection has been a journey of creativity, patience, and excitement. We are so proud to share this pattern and hope it becomes one of your favorite cold-weather accessories.

What Is the Lemon Peel Stitch?

The lemon peel stitch is a classic crochet pattern made by alternating single crochet and double crochet stitches. This easy stitch combination creates a gently textured fabric that resembles tiny pebbles or citrus peel, giving the scarf a sophisticated appearance with excellent drape and warmth.

Because the pattern alternates single crochet and double crochet stitches in every row, it is easy to remember after just a few repeats. The result is a reversible fabric that looks beautiful from both sides, making it ideal for scarves, blankets, shawls, and home décor projects.

Pattern Notes

Written in US Terms.

This pattern uses the Lemon Peel Stitch.

Chain 1 at the beginning of the row is the turning chain and does not count as a stitch.

This pattern is written to carry the yarn up the side of the pattern.

Important: This pattern carries the unused yarn up the side of the work. Because of this, some rows end with “No Turn.” This allows you to begin the next row from the opposite side where the alternate yarn color is waiting. The stitch pattern remains the same throughout, alternating single crochet and double crochet stitches.

Helpful Tips for Beginners

✔Alternating Stitches

You’ll always be alternating single crochet and double crochet stitches throughout this pattern.

Here’s the simple rule of thumb:

• If the stitch below is a double crochet, work a single crochet into it.
• If the stitch below is a single crochet, work a double crochet into it.

This alternating pattern gives you the signature lemon peel-like texture.

✔ Use a Stitch Marker

Because this stitch uses alternating heights, the last stitch can blend in. Place a stitch marker in the first stitch of the row. This prevents accidental increases or decreases that throw off your count.

✔ Counting Made Easy

If you start with an odd number of chains, you’ll end up with an even number of stitches, which ensures the alternating pattern lands correctly on the next row.

✔ Make sure to watch the video tutorials to see how to crochet the lemon peel stitch and how to change yarn color. They are located after the written directions.

Crochet Stitches Used

Chain Stitch (CH ST)

Begin the chain stitch by making a slip knot on the crochet hook. Leave about a 5-inch tail on the yarn. This will be weaved in later.

Next snug up the yarn loop that is on the crochet hook; while it should be firm, it should also be loose enough to slide on the hook with ease.

Keeping the loop on the hook, wrap the yarn over the crochet hook from back to front. Draw the yarn through the loop. (The first chain stitch is complete).

Double Crochet (DC)

Yarn over, insert the hook in a stitch and pull up a loop. Next, yarn over and pull through two loops on the hook. Lastly, yarn over again and pull through the last two loops on the hook.

Single Crochet (SC)

Insert the hook in a stitch, pull up a loop. Yarn over and pull through the two loops on the hook.

Begin Crochet Pattern

Crochet a Foundation Row Starting with yarn color A

Begin the chain stitch by making a slip knot on the crochet hook.

Chain any odd number of stitches. For the sample shown, chain 209.

Row 1

SC in 2nd CH from the hook. DC in next CH. [SC in the next ST, DC in the next ST].  Repeat across between [ ]. End with a DC in the last ST.  Turn (You’ll have an even number of stitches.)

Do not cut your yarn. Add a stitch marker.

Row 2

Change to yarn color B. Pull the new yarn color through the loop on the hook and snug up yarn color A. Continue with the pattern using yarn color B.

CH 1 (Turning Chain Doesn’t Count as a Stitch). SC in the first DC ST, DC in the SC ST. [SC in the next ST, DC in the next ST]. Repeat across between [ ]. End with a DC in the last St. 

Add a stitch marker.

Row 3

Change back to yarn color A

Now you’ll see the unused color strand (Color A) waiting at the other end.
To reuse it:

• Insert your hook into the first stitch.
• Gently pull up Color A and yarn over with it to start the row.

The unused yarn will be carried neatly up the side.

CH 1 (Doesn’t Count as a ST). DC in the first SC ST, SC in the DC ST. [DC in the next ST, SC in the next ST]. Repeat across between [ ]. End with a SC in the last St.  Turn

Row 4

Change back to yarn color B

CH 1 (Doesn’t Count as a ST). DC in the first SC ST, SC in the DC ST. [DC in the next ST, SC in the next ST]. Repeat across between [ ]. End with a SC in the last St.  No Turn

Row 5

Change back to yarn color A

CH 1 (Doesn’t Count as a ST). SC in the first DC ST, DC in the SC ST. [SC in the next ST, DC in the next ST]. Repeat across between [ ]. End with a DC in the last St.  Turn

Row 6

Change back to yarn color B

CH 1 (Doesn’t Count as a ST). SC in the first DC ST, DC in the SC ST. [SC in the next ST, DC in the next ST]. Repeat across between [ ]. End with a DC in the last St.  No Turn

Rows 7 through 17

Continue repeating Rows 3–6 until the scarf measures approximately 6 inches wide (about 17 total rows).

Once you reach your desired length, leave about a 20-inch-long yarn tail.

Use this to join the ends together.

Joining

Before seaming, ensure the rectangle is not twisted. Lay the rectangle flat. Align the ends of the rectangle. Thread the yarn needle with the yarn tail.

Using the yarn where you ended your last stitch, insert the yarn needle in the stitch directly across. Wrap the yarn over the edges and insert the hook in the next stitch on the other side. Continue wrapping the yarn over the edges and inserting the yarn needle in the next stitch across.

You can use any method to join the ends. A slip stitch or a single crochet through both ends. You could use the yarn needle and work a whip stitch through both ends.

Today, I chose a whip stitch to join the ends.

• Whipstitch. Insert the needle from back to front, wrapping the yarn around the edges in a spiral motion.
• Mattress Stitch. Work through the middle of the stitches on the edges of both pieces, creating an almost invisible seam.

Keep the Tension Even. As you sew, ensure the yarn is snug but not so tight that it puckers or distorts the fabric.

Finishing

Once you’ve sewn all the ends together, weave in any remaining yarn tails with the yarn needle. Snip off the excess yarn.
