Last year I designed the Bean Stitch Twisted Headband and fell in love with the crochet bean stitch.

I love puff stitches, so to have zigzagging puff stitches that are easy, beautiful and textured, quickly made this stitch combo jump to the top of my favorite stitch list.

After working up the headbands, I knew I wanted to make a bean stitch scarf, and now, before another winter settles in, seemed like the perfect time.

The only problem is I want more bean stitch scarves in a variety of colors (not sure that actually qualifies as a “problem”). It’s my new favorite scarf and I want to make one in bulky yarn too.

Bean Stitch Scarf Yarn

There’s yet to be an acrylic worsted weight yarn that I consistently like more than Premier Anti-Pilling Everyday Yarn. It is so easy to work with, has great drape, and holds up well.

For a scarf with a denser crochet stitch, like the bean stitch, it is important to have yarn that can still maintain its flowiness and Premier Everyday does just that.

As I was working on putting this pattern together, I could no longer find the exact color I used, Tan Marl, on Premier’s website. It looks like it may have been discontinued. Thankfully Premier Everyday comes in a variety of solid colors and prints.

It is a bummer because the stitch looks really good with the marled yarn and I have some Navy Marl skeins in my stash that I am hesitant to use since I don’t know if they just discontinued all their marled yarns.

When you order from their website, don’t forget to sign up for their reward program. You’ll receive a 15% off coupon for signing up and then can continue earning rewards that allow you to save money on more yarn!

If you decide to go with a different yarn, just make sure it is soft with good drape so your fabric doesn’t end up too stiff and dense.

Crochet Bean Stitch

Have you worked the bean stitch pattern before? If you haven’t, be sure to check out the Bean Stitch crochet tutorial for the step-by-step photo tutorial.

The Bean stitch is made up of puff stitches that are worked in such a way that they push each puff stitch of the row below off to the side. That’s how you get that beautiful zigzag pattern of puffs.

It’s great for creating a dense crochet fabric that’ll keep you nice and warm.

Unlike the Bean Stitch headband, the scarf does not start and end with rows of single crochet so you will only be working the bean stitch for the entire scarf.
