This braided scarf crochet pattern uses the Jacob’s Ladder technique to create the look of “braids” or cables running vertically along the length of the scarf. It is a simple technique that creates lots of design interest.

The front loop single crochet stitch between the chains creates a nice contrasting line to the braids. All of this detail looks especially nice with a solid color yarn that can really make the texture stand out.
