Pattern – Simply Lace Scarf

February 12, 2016 By Kirsten 27 Comments

With spring just around the corner, I’ve been wanting a lightweight, lacy accessory that would be pretty, and be simple to make. Also, crochet thread is something I’ve just begun dabbling in, so the simpler the better! This scarf delivers on both accounts with a simple, but pleasing stitch pattern that is repeated as many times as you want, to make this lace scarf as wide or narrow as you’d like.

    Love this pattern! Easy enough for a beginner (that's me!) and the finished product is adorable. Perfect length. I did just eleven rows, making it a cute, summer semi-skinny scarf. Off to make another… Thank you!

    Hi!
    I love the look of this scarf and I have a beautiful yarn I want to use, however I have a DK yarn just wondering if you think it will work the same if I adjust the number of beginning chains??
    Thank you for your time!!

      Hi Christa, It should work, however, the scarf may look a little different than my preview picture. If you head over to Ravelry you can see some projects that use different yarn for this scarf than what I list here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/simply-lace-scarf/people
      Hope that helps! 🙂

      Hi Debora,
      In this pattern a shell is 4 dc worked in one stitch, or between the 2nd and 3rd dc stitches of the previous row’s shell. I hope that helps!

    Would you please clarify if it is a 3.25 steel crochet hook that is required or an aluminum hook to make this scarf with the Red Heart #3 Fashion crochet thread? Thankyou.

      It is a 3.25mm (D) hook. Mine is aluminum. Hope that helps! 🙂

    Thanks for your reply. I have a D-3 US 3.25 mm aluminum crochet hook. I am assuming that is what I need, as it is larger than a steel hook which would be a 0(3.25 mm) hook. What would the Gauge be for this scarf? I checked my ball of Aunt Lydia’s fashion 3 crochet thread and wondering if 2 balls were enough for the scarf you made? Each is 150 yards or 137 m per ball.

      The awesome thing about this is that gauge isn’t super important. I have measurements listed, but if the scarf isn’t exact it’ll still look nice.
      I think I used just a smidge over 2 balls of thread, but it’s been a while since I made this.
      Good luck with yours! 🙂

    I crochet so tight for some reason. I’ve tried to loosen up but still can’t seem to get it right. I started this scarf but it isn’t near long enough. It’s only measuring 58″. I’ve completed 3 rows so far. I did make 299 chains to begin. Can you give me an idea on how many more chains I would need to make it as long as the one in the picture? This is probably an impossible question to answer without seeing it. Your best guess would really help. Thanks!

      Hi Vicki,
      You could try starting with a chain of 331, to see if that would give you an extra foot in length. The pattern is worked in multiples of 16 + 3, with an additional 8 stitches for half a pattern repeat at the end of the scarf. So when figuring out increases just add 16 to the beginning chain number (If you need it longer, try 331+16=347). I hope that helps clarify!

    hi,
    maybe I did something wrong but I did follow directions and ended up on Row 1 with a shell stitch at the end of row…I did multiples of 16 plus 3 . Very frustrating, any suggestions of how to start row two now, being that previous row ended in a shell
    thanks
    Joyce

      Hi Joyce, it’s multiples of 16+3, with an additional 8 stitches beyond that (as mentioned in the notes just above the pattern). The extra 8 stitches creates the end that you are missing. If you don’t want to redo the row, just turn, and slip stitch over to the center of the shell, then ch 3 for the first stitch of the shell and work 3 more dc beside it before continuing the pattern. Your stitches should all match up, so it’s dc in dc stitches, shells in shells, and chains over chains. I’m sorry the part about the 8 additional stitches didn’t jump out at you initially. Hopefully this helps!

    Hi Kirsten! Do you have any other scarf patterns that can be used with crochet thread opposed to yarn. I would like to make a couple more for spring and summer and prefer the thread. Is there any other crochet thread that works for scarves besides #3? I live in a rural area and the nearest craft store is 30 miles from me. We have a Walmart and that’s it. Thanks!!!

      It is possible to make scarves with #10 or #5 thread, but I don’t have any patterns out that call for those thread weights yet. Hopefully I’ll be able to get one or two done this summer! I’ve got some ideas. 😊
