Lacy Stitch for a Scarf


Here is another quick and easy lace stitch.

Even though autumn is still some time away, I plan to make myself a lacy scarf using this pattern. I have a very beautiful olive green wool yarn that my sister-in-law bought me some time ago. I think that yarn and this pattern will make a lovely scarf.




Shell in this pattern: (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) all in same space.



Multiple of 12, plus 6 for symmetry, plus 4. 



Row 1: shell in 6th ch from hook, *ch 3, skip 5 ch, sc in next ch, ch 3, skip 5 ch, shell in next ch* across, skip 3 ch, dc in last ch.



Row 2: ch 6, turn; *sc in next shell, ch 3, shell in next sc, ch 3* across, end with sc in last shell, ch 3, dc in last dc.



Row 3: ch 3, turn; *shell in next sc, ch 3, sc in next shell, ch 3,* across, end with shell in next sc, dc into 3rd ch of turning ch-6.



Repeat Rows 2-3.

  13. What does it mean when you say single crochet in next shell. Where in the shell??

  14. I dont know what you mean when you say " plus 6 for symetry , plus 4" after the multiples of 12.... This does not explain where to place the 6 or the 4

    1. The symmetry part is to ensure you start and end with a shell of each side. If instead you only use multiple of 12, plus 4, you will start with a shell on one side, but end with a sc on the other side. Sometimes there might be a project that you want it that way, for example, if you are making a summer top. You don't want to have two shells next to each other when you make your side seams. In that case, you would only use multiple of 12, plus 4.
      I hope this makes sense.
