Neapolitan Harmony – A Sweet Little Scarf
I like ice cream!
And while I’m a little on the boring side (I do love a good old-fashioned vanilla), you could definitely tempt me with a bit of Neapolitan instead.
I think the day the brief popped up from Hobbii calling for designs inspired by harmony, I may have been hungry. I started browsing yarns and landed on Pearly Haze by Hobbii—which, with my colour choices, looked suspiciously like ice cream. What’s more harmonious than Neapolitan ice cream? Those flavours go so well together. So I figured—why not combine that with crochet?
Inspired by the soft stripes of vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate, I set about creating this scarf as a wearable, textural piece that’s light, fun, and a bit of a treat.
It’s a simple construction—just a long rectangle—with some cables and colour changes added in. Think of it as relaxing crochet with just enough going on to keep things interesting. I finished it off with a lacy-style edging along one long side for a little extra flair.
The scarf is designed to button at the neck. You could absolutely use a store-bought button, but I decided to keep the ice cream theme going and made a button from the yarn itself. (Because why not?)
You can of course choose your own colour combo (I’d love to see a pistachio version!), but the classic Neapolitan shades really hit the sweet spot for me—pun fully intended.
The pattern includes full written instructions in both US and UK terminology, a symbol graph, and plenty of pictures to guide you along the way.
If you give it a go, I’d love to see your version! Tag me or use the hashtag #NeapolitanHarmonyScarf so I don’t miss it.
