What Is the Winter Jasmine Crochet Pattern?

The Winter Jasmine pattern is inspired by the real winter jasmine flower, a small, cheerful bloom that appears in cold months when everything else has gone quiet. The crochet version captures that same spirit — delicate petals worked in clusters, connected by airy chain spaces that give the finished fabric a lacy, open feel without requiring advanced lace techniques.

What makes this pattern so appealing for beginners is that it’s built from just a handful of basic stitches: chains, single crochets, double crochets, and slip stitches. The “wow” factor comes from how these stitches are arranged rather than from any complicated technique. Once you’ve worked the first two rows, the pattern becomes almost automatic, and you’ll find yourself flying through it while watching your favorite show or sitting in front of a winter fire.

This design works beautifully in a range of weights, from fingering weight for a truly delicate, gossamer look all the way up to bulky weight for a cozy winter throw. The tutorial below is written for worsted weight yarn, which gives you a clear view of the stitch structure and makes learning the pattern straightforward.

What You’ll Need

Before diving into the tutorial, gather everything you need. Having the right materials on hand from the start makes the whole experience more enjoyable.

Yarn: Approximately 200–400 yards of worsted weight yarn (weight 4), depending on your project size. This pattern looks gorgeous in soft, muted tones — think ivory, dusty blue, sage green, pale blush, or classic winter white. Variegated yarns with tonal shifts also work beautifully.

Hook: US size J/6mm crochet hook. You can go up or down half a size depending on your personal tension — the fabric should feel drapey and open rather than stiff.

Notions: Scissors, yarn needle for weaving in ends, stitch markers (optional but helpful for counting), and a blocking mat if you want to open up the lacework after finishing.

Gauge: Gauge is flexible with this pattern since it adapts well to different sizes. For a general reference, 14 stitches and 8 rows in double crochet should equal approximately 4 inches with worsted weight and a J hook.

Understanding the Stitch Key

If you’re fairly new to reading crochet patterns, here’s a quick breakdown of every abbreviation used throughout this tutorial.

ch — chain
sl st — slip stitch
sc — single crochet
dc — double crochet
hdc — half double crochet
sk — skip
sp — space
rep — repeat
st(s) — stitch(es)
RS — right side
WS — wrong side

The asterisks ( and ) mark the section of a row that gets repeated. Parentheses hold groups of stitches that are worked into the same stitch or space.

The Winter Jasmine Motif: Step-by-Step

The heart of this design is a small, five-petal flower motif that gets joined together as you work, so there’s minimal sewing at the end. Let’s start with a single motif before moving into the full pattern.

Making the Foundation Ring

Start with a magic ring, or if you prefer, chain 4 and join with a slip stitch to form a ring.

Round 1: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), work 11 more double crochets into the ring — so 12 double crochets total. Join with a slip stitch to the top of your beginning chain 3. Pull the tail of your magic ring tight.

Round 2: Chain 1. Work one single crochet into the same stitch. Chain 5, skip 1 stitch, single crochet into the next stitch. Repeat from to five more times, ending with chain 5, join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet. You now have six chain-5 loops forming a crown around your center.

Round 3 — the petals: Slip stitch into the first chain-5 space. Into that same space, work: chain 1, single crochet, half double crochet, 3 double crochets, half double crochet, single crochet — that’s your first petal. Repeat this petal combination into each of the remaining five chain-5 spaces. You’ll have six petals total. Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet of the round and fasten off.

That’s your Winter Jasmine motif. Take a moment to admire it before moving on — it really is one of those satisfying moments where a flat circle of yarn suddenly becomes a recognizable flower.

The Full Winter Jasmine Scarf Pattern (Free)

This scarf version is the perfect starting project. It’s long enough to feel like a real finished object but doesn’t require as much yarn or time commitment as a shawl or blanket. The final dimensions are approximately 7 inches wide by 60 inches long using worsted weight yarn.

Foundation

Chain 32. Make sure your chain isn’t twisted and sits flat.

Row 1 (RS): Double crochet into the 4th chain from the hook and into every chain across. You’ll have 30 double crochets. Chain 3, turn.

Row 2: Double crochet into the 2nd stitch and every stitch across. Chain 3, turn. (The chain 3 always counts as a double crochet in this pattern.)

Setting Up the Winter Jasmine Pattern

Row 3: Double crochet in the first 3 stitches. Chain 2, skip 2 stitches, single crochet in the next stitch, chain 2, skip 2 stitches, double crochet in the next 3 stitches. Repeat from to across the row. Chain 3, turn.

Row 4: Double crochet in the first 3 stitches. Chain 2, skip the chain-2 space, work [single crochet, chain 3, single crochet] into the single crochet from the previous row, chain 2, double crochet in the next 3 stitches. Repeat from * across. Chain 3, turn.

Row 5: Double crochet in the first 3 stitches. Chain 2, work 5 double crochets into the chain-3 space from the previous row (this forms a small shell), chain 2, double crochet in the next 3 stitches. Repeat from * across. Chain 3, turn.

Row 6: Double crochet in the first 3 stitches. Chain 2, single crochet into the 3rd double crochet of the 5-dc shell, chain 2, double crochet in the next 3 stitches. Repeat from * across. Chain 3, turn.

Row 7: Repeat Row 4.

Row 8: Repeat Row 5.

Continue repeating Rows 6 through 8 until your scarf reaches the desired length, ending on a Row 5 repeat. Work 2 rows of straight double crochet across to finish. Fasten off and weave in ends.

The Winter Jasmine Shawlette Pattern (Free)

If you want something a bit more dramatic, this triangular shawlette is worked from the top down and grows gradually with simple increases on each end. It uses the same flower motif structure in a different arrangement.

Foundation

Chain 4. Join with a slip stitch to form a ring.

Row 1: Chain 3 (counts as dc), work 4 double crochets into the ring. You’ll have 5 double crochets total. Chain 3, turn.

Row 2: Work 2 double crochets in the first stitch (this is an increase), double crochet in each stitch across to the last stitch, work 2 double crochets in the last stitch (another increase). Chain 3, turn.

Row 3: Repeat Row 2. Continue increasing one stitch on each end of every right-side row until your shawlette is approximately 14 inches deep along the center back.

Introducing the Winter Jasmine Lace Panel

Once you’ve established your triangle with about 60 stitches across, begin the lace section.

Lace Row 1: Double crochet in the first 4 stitches. Chain 3, skip 3 stitches, single crochet into the next stitch, chain 3, skip 3 stitches, double crochet in the next stitch. Repeat from * across to last 4 stitches, double crochet in each remaining stitch. Chain 3, turn.

Lace Row 2: Double crochet in first 4 stitches. Chain 1, work [dc, ch1, dc, ch1, dc, ch1, dc, ch1, dc] into the single crochet from the previous row — this creates your jasmine fan, chain 1, double crochet in the next double crochet. Repeat from * across, double crochet in final 4 stitches. Chain 3, turn.

Lace Row 3: Double crochet in first 4 stitches. Chain 3, single crochet into the 3rd double crochet of the fan, chain 3, double crochet into the next double crochet. Repeat across, double crochet in final 4 stitches. Chain 3, turn.

Repeat Lace Rows 2 and 3 until you’ve worked at least 4 full pattern repeats, or until the shawlette is the depth you want. Finish with a simple single crochet border all around the edge, working 3 single crochets into each corner to keep the points neat.

Beginner Tips for Getting the Best Results

Even if you’ve been crocheting for a while, a few specific tips will make the Winter Jasmine pattern go more smoothly and ensure your finished piece looks its absolute best.

Count your stitches after every row. The lace pattern depends on having the correct multiple of stitches. Losing or gaining a stitch somewhere in the middle will throw off the pattern alignment. Use stitch markers to divide your work into sections and count each section separately if the row feels long.

Don’t skip blocking. Blocking is where lace crocheted pieces truly come to life. After you’ve finished and woven in all your ends, wet your piece thoroughly, squeeze out the excess water gently in a towel, and pin it out on a blocking board or foam tiles to its full dimensions. Let it dry completely before removing the pins. The lacy chain spaces will open up beautifully, and the whole piece will look more professional and finished.

Tension matters more than speed. When working the chain spaces, try to maintain even tension throughout. Chains that are too tight will cause the fabric to pucker; chains that are too loose will make the lace look untidy. Practice on a small swatch first if you’re unsure of your tension.

Joining yarn in a new color is easy to hide in this pattern. Because the design has so many natural break points — chain spaces, between motifs, at the beginning of a row — you can introduce a new color at any of these points and the join will almost disappear into the design. This makes gradient yarns, or intentional color changes, very effective with this pattern.

Use a smooth yarn for your first attempt. Textured yarns, thick-and-thin yarns, or anything fuzzy (like mohair or alpaca blends) can obscure the stitch definition, making it harder to see what you’re doing as you learn the pattern. Save those gorgeous fluffy yarns for when the pattern is second nature to you.

Yarn Suggestions for the Winter Jasmine Pattern

The beauty of a versatile pattern like this is that it pairs well with a huge range of yarn types, and choosing the right yarn genuinely changes the character of the finished piece.

For a crisp, heirloom look, try a smooth cotton or cotton-blend yarn in white or ecru. The stitch definition will be razor sharp, and the finished piece will feel substantial and cool — lovely for table runners, placemats, or summer wraps.

For a soft, romantic look, a merino wool or merino blend in blush, dusty rose, or lavender creates something that feels like it belongs in a cozy farmhouse bedroom. This combination also blocks beautifully.

For a rustic, nature-inspired aesthetic, try a plant-fiber yarn in sage green or terracotta. These earthy tones complement the flower motif in a way that feels very connected to the seasonal inspiration behind the design.

For a luxurious, special-occasion piece, a silk blend or bamboo yarn in deep jewel tones — forest green, midnight navy, or burgundy — elevates the Winter Jasmine pattern into something genuinely gift-worthy.

Project Ideas Beyond the Scarf and Shawlette

Once you’re comfortable with the core stitch pattern, the possibilities really open up. Here are some ways crafters have used the Winter Jasmine design to wonderful effect.

A table runner in crisp white cotton makes a stunning centerpiece for a winter dinner table. Work the pattern to the length of your table and add a simple shell border along each short end for a polished, finished look.

Baby blankets in the jasmine motif pattern are some of the most-loved handmade gifts you can give. Use a soft, machine-washable yarn like superwash merino or a quality acrylic blend in soft pastels. The openwork design keeps the blanket light rather than heavy while still feeling cozy.

Wall art made from individual Winter Jasmine motifs joined together in a grid creates a beautiful textile piece to frame or hang. Use a thicker yarn and larger hook for motifs that have more visual impact at a distance, or work in a gradient palette for a slow color fade across the whole piece.

A set of coasters made from single motifs worked in cotton yarn is a quick, satisfying project that uses very little yarn and makes an impressive gift. Work five or six and tie them together with a ribbon for a ready-made housewarming present.

Hair accessories using the small motif with a hair clip or barrette backing are a lovely way to use up yarn scraps while making something wearable. Work the motif in a sparkle yarn or add a few beads to the center for a bit of extra glamour.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sell items made from this pattern?
Yes! Items you make using this free pattern are yours to sell at markets, in online shops, or as custom orders. A credit or link back to this post is always appreciated but not required.

How do I resize the pattern for a different project?
The pattern repeat is based on a multiple of 6 stitches plus 3. So any starting chain that fits this formula will work. For a wider project, simply add more repeats. For something narrower, reduce them. A small test swatch will help you confirm your row count before committing to a large project.

I’m a complete beginner — is this really achievable for me?
If you can chain, single crochet, and double crochet, you have everything you need to work this pattern. The lace effect comes from the arrangement of basic stitches, not from any advanced technique. Take it slowly, count carefully, and you’ll be amazed at what you can create.

What if my tension is very different from the suggested gauge?
Go up a hook size if your fabric feels stiff or tight, or down a hook size if it feels very loose and floppy. With a lace pattern like this,
