Check out this easy lattice scarf pattern - it's so quick and simple you'll be
wanting to make another in no time.
It's easiest to work in a regular acrylic, but of course I had
to try something different and opted for 6 ounces of a sport weight
chenille instead and a 4mm hook.
Don't worry about gauge with this scarf as it's such an open lacy
pattern.
This is how I did it...Chain 30.
- Slip stitch into 10th chain from hook, *chain 5, skip next
4 stitches, slip stitch in next chain, repeat from * ending with
slip stitch in last chain. Turn.
- *Chain 5, slip stitch in 3rd chain of each 5 chain space, repeat
from * 5 times, chain 3, treble in last stitch. Turn.
- *Chain 5, slip stitch in 3rd chain of each 5 chain space, repeat
from * 5 times ending with slip stitch in last stitch. Turn.
- Rows 2 and 3 form the pattern repeat. Repeat these rows until
your scarf is the length you want, then ending with a row 3
continue as follows...
- Working across one end of your scarf (4 single crochet,
1 X 15 chain twisted tassel,
4 single crochet in each 5 chain space) 5 times.
- Then working down the length of the scarf work 4 single crochet
along each treble or 3 chain space skipping over the joins.
- When you get to the next corner work across the other end of the
scarf as row 5.
- The last edge is worked as row 6, slip stitch to first single crochet
and finish off.
Only one end to finish off in your lattice scarf pattern - how's
that for convenience?
Try different yarns for different looks - cotton, silk,
variegated acrylic, you could even try working it in a lighter
weight wool and felting it. If you're using this last option - don't forget about the shrinkage - it'll be about 30% with such an open pattern depending on how felted you want it.
Any weight of yarn or size of hook will work with this pattern, just remember the finer the yarn the narrower and lighter the scarf. The bulkier the yarn, the wider and heavier the scarf.
Give it a try - you just might like it.
