I recently made this for a customer, it turned out so elegant and lovely I decided to share it on my blog.
You will need:
approximately 330 yards of Dk or worsted weight yarn ( I used AllHemp6 in Aubergine)
size 9 mm and 4.5 mm crochet hooks
Darn needle
Gauge: Not really to important as this is lacey.
I suggest if you need to join in this scarf because you need more than one ball of wool, do the join on the stitch at the beginning or ending of a row so the end can be woven into the Sc edge.
with larger hook
Row 1: Chain 20, sc in second chain from hook, *skip 2 chain, 5 dc in next chain, skip 2 chain, sc in next chain, repeat from * 2 more times. 3 shells.
Row 2: Chain 3, 2 dc in first sc, *skip 2 dc, sc in next dc, skip 2 dc, 5 dc in next sc, repeat from * 1 more time, then skip 2 dc, sc in next dc, skip 2 dc, 3 dc in last sc. 2 full shells, and 2 1/2 shells.
Row 3: Chain 1, sc in first dc, *skip 2 dc, 5 dc in next sc, skip 2 dc, sc in next dc, repeat from * 2 times more.
Repeat row's 2 & 3 to desired length. The length of the Scarf I made was about 60" long.
Fasten off. Do not weave in ends.
Sc Edging: With smaller hook:
Row 1: Join with a sc to any stitch, (except a corner), you will now work 2 sc in each stitch, 3-4 sc in each corner, some of the stitches that are smaller may only require 1 sc, you will want the edge to lay fairly flat, it shouldn't ruffle. If you find the edge ruffling, try working 1sc in one stitch and then 2 sc in next and repeat that pattern.
You may use this pattern for personal use only, not for items to be sold.
Great design! It looks really tough to make! I wish I can knit. The last time I knitted with was AGES ago was a never-ending ('cos I didn't know how to end) plain "cloth".. :) It was supposed to be a scarf. :)

You are all so very welcome. Thank you for checking out my blog. I am hoping to be able to post one free pattern a month. Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous!! but i think i see an error in the pattern? it says on row 1:
ReplyDelete""*skip 2 chain, 5 dc, skip 2 dc,"" shouldn't that be ""skip 2 sc"" at the end there??
Thank you wildblue, it is fixed. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this beautiful pattern! I'm going to file it away for a rainy day. It looks like it will be an absolute delight to crochet. You have a lovely blog. I am a new follower! If you have a minute, here is mine: http://henandchick.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful scarf. I am new to crocheting and have 1oz (218 yds) of qiviuk. Do you think that's enough to make this scarf?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
You could make it thinner or you try it shorter? If you make it and it is shorter than undo it and chalk it up as practice. :)
ReplyDeleteI recently made this scarf in a rose color worsted weight yarn. It is beautiful and worked up quickly and easily. I plan to play with different yarn types and colors. My aunt was visiting and also fell in love with the scarf. I just shared this link with her. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanx for the great pattern -- I'm a beginner, but I think I can do this!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this lovely pattern. I didn't know what to get my boyfriend's grandmother for her birthday, but she will love this :)
ReplyDeleteI made a baby blanket out of this amazing yellow yarn last spring and was wondering what to do with the rest... NOW I know! Treat myself to this beautiful scarf. Thanks so much! can't wait to get started.
ReplyDeleteHi, my name is Maria, im trying to make this scarf, I love the pattern, but im not sure if I should use a N-9.00mm hook or a M hook....help!!!
ReplyDeleteMarcos, Be fearless!! Give it a go. It won't be as loose of a lace but the it will probably be darn close. The pattern calls for a 10mm hook and dk weight yarn, but you could use a 9 mm hook and a lace weight yarn. You may want to make the scarf wider though by adding more shells. Have fun!!
ReplyDeleteChriss
This is beautiful!! It's exactly what I was looking for!!! Thanks so much for sharing!! I found your through Ravelry!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely scarf. I was looking for the perfect scarf to use with some lovely yarn I just purchased to make a scarf for my daughter. This is it! Thanks! I found you through ravelry. Please check out my blog:

I don't know if you still check this post for comments or not, but I figured I would try anyway - I'm a newbie at crochet and I understand your pattern all for a couple things - when you say "3 Shells" does that mean I must then make 3 shell stitches? If so - single, double...I'm lost. lol. Though it doesn't take much :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
This turned out so lovely :) I am going to use this pattern as a basis for other creations! Many Blessing Happy Creations <3
ReplyDeleteQuestion: I'm reading the instructions and want to make sure I understand every step before beginning. When it says like chain 3 does that mean that it's time to create three chain links? I've only ever done one chain link at the start of a row, so I'm curious. This will be my first fancy scarf and I am excited.
ReplyDeleteHi Gabriella,
ReplyDeleteYes, you will need to make 3 chain stitches in a row, the same chain stitch you use at the beginning of the pattern to create the base. I hope this makes sense. It might take a while to get used to using a larger hook making stitches but just relax and have fun. Its a very repetitive stitch pattern.

I don't see where the error was corrected. I would love to make this scarf, Lacey crochet scarf but would like to know if a mistake was printed, it not on the pattern.
ReplyDeletePlease rest assured the typo was corrected and to my knowledge no more error's have been brought to my attention.
DeleteChriss
as far as I can tell, a 9mm hook is a size N and a 4.5 mm hook is a G or G7. you can use this handy conversion chart here: http://www.karpstyles.com/crochet/hook-chart.html
ReplyDeleteR these in us or uk stitch abbreivations?
ReplyDeleteThese are Canadian/US abbreviations. Sorry for not posting that! :)
DeleteWow! what a beautiful scarf... I can't wait to try making it. Thank you so much for sharing
ReplyDeleteThis is the most beautiful scarf pattern.
ReplyDeleteThank you Samara!! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try this pattern then I can make my own beautiful scarves to wear and give as gifts Thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteHi :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely scarf pattern. I want to make it. Was wondering if the terminologies used are UK terminologies.
Hello,
ReplyDeletethe pattern is written in North American Terms. :)
Chriss
Thanks for the awesome pattern! I just wrote it down and plan on using it for several people on my Christmas list this year. :)
ReplyDeleteI like to make my own patterns or modify others too, but I never would have thought of making the shells so close together like that to make it bubbly. Love it! I have a verigated yarn of redish-orange, cranberry, and plum and it's turning out amazing! Will be a gift for my sister.
ReplyDeleteI am really excited to make this scarf... one question. I'm on row 3 and I am assuming you mean to end on a sc in the top of the ch3? I've crocheted enough to know this makes sense... just wanted to be sure. Thanks for making this pattern available :)
ReplyDeleteSallie,
DeleteYes, that is right. Hope it turns our beautiful!!
Chriss
Hi, im 14 and ths will be my first decorative scarf, thanks! But i was wondering (it's a stupid question but oh well) are you working from the ends up or the sides? And what type of needle should i use for yarn that is 142 grams wide and 388 yards long? Thanks again! Its a Christmas gift for my grandmother (who taught me how to crochet in the first place) and i dont want it to look aweful..... Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteTally R.
Hi Tally,
DeleteYou are making short rows, back and forth so I guess working up the ends. I would use the 10mm as indicated, it makes it nice and lacey. Hope this helps and best of luck with your project!
Chriss
I just finished this scarf for my daughter and it turned out fabulous. Thanks so much for the pattern :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing this pattern! I have already picked out the yarn I plan to use. Can't wait to get started!
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI'm starting a crochet diary blog having re-taken up crochet again. This pattern was the first thing I made and is the first thing I'm going to write about.
I wondered if its ok to reference you as the source? (I'm new to blogging and just wanted to make sure that I get my permissions/copyright stuff correct.
Thanks!

Absolutely! Thank you so much. :)
DeleteI was searching for a new crochet pattern for a UNIQUE scarf-- I found yours.... so THANKS!
ReplyDeleteI copied it & hope to start crocheting tomorrow. LOVELY pattern with row of alternating shells.
I have several finer wool/mohair yarns to crochet scarves. Sarah Helene in Minneapolis, MN
Thank you for sharing this pattern! I found it on Pinterest, I have used it twice. This is really pretty and fun to work. Thank you again!
ReplyDeletenot to sound stupid but what is dk short for
ReplyDeleteDK stands for Double Knitting and refers to a weight of yarn. DK Yarn is lighter in weight than worsted. :)
