Designing crochet lacy scarf patterns is how I satisfy my crojo in spring and summer. Once the summer sets in I am always thinking of crochet projects that are wearable on sunny days and a lacy scarf seems like the perfect fit.

 
You can hardly see me without my scarf and I think it is the perfect accessory to dress up any plain outfit. looking for a mother’s day gift? Why not whip one of these real quick?

It is a fast-growing crochet pattern with all the big gaps and the repetitive pattern would put you at ease instantly.  I altered the regular shell stitch to create this airy and light fabric.

I tried them in acrylic and a blend of cotton, the cotton one came out gorgeous with more stitch definition as you can see in the purple scarf. The red one I whipped up with some leftover baby acrylic yarn and still looks beautiful and light.

Stitch Explanation

 
Triple crochet (tr): It is a taller than a double crochet and worked as follows:
Wrap the yarn around the hook 2 times, insert your hook into the next st and pull up a loop, *(yarn over and pull through 2 loops) 3 times.——A triple crochet made.

Shells: I have used 2 types of shells in this pattern. Though they are very similar, mixing them up adds more dimension to the pattern.

 Lacy shell: (tr, ch 1, tr, ch 1, tr) all worked into the same st.
  
Solid Shell: ( tr, ch 1, 3 tr ) all worked into the same st.

   
                                                                        Pattern

 
The scarf is worked lengthwise and you start with a very long chain. I found that the shells looked better worked this way :). Please see stitch explanation above for lacy and solid shell.

  
With G hook Chain 180 + 3 for turning chain. If you chain tightly, use the next size hook for your foundation chain.

  
Row 1: 1 hdc in 3rd chain from hook, * skip 2 ch, 1 lacy shell in next st, skip 2 ch, 1 hdc in next ch, * repeat from * to * till end. ———–30 shells

Note: In the next round the beginning Ch 5 counts as the first (tr + ch 1 ) of a shell and the idea is to work a shell in the dip between each of the two shells of the previous round alternating with a hdc in the peak of each shell. See pic above.

   
Row 2 : ch 5 , 1 tr in first st, sk 2 st, 1 hdc in next st ( the middle tr at the peak of a shell), sk 2 st, *(1 lacy shell into the dip between next two shells, sk 2 st, 1 hdc in to next st on the peak of a shell, sk 2 st ) *, repeat from * to * ending with a (tr, ch 1, tr) in the last st.

   
Row 3 : Ch 2, 1 hdc in first st, sk 2 st, 1 solid shell in next st at the dip between 2 shells, sk 2 st, 1 hdc in next st at the peak of a shell*, repeat from *-* working last hdc into the top of beginning chain 4.

   
Row 4: Repeat Row 2

   
Row 5: Ch 2, 1 hdc in first st, sk 2 st, 1 lacy shell in next st at the dip between 2 shells, sk 2 st, 1 hdc in next st at the peak of a shell*, repeat from *-* working last hdc into the top of beginning chain 4.

   
Row 6: ch 5 , 1 tr in first st, sk 2 st, 1 hdc in next st ( the middle tr at the peak of of a shell), sk 2 st, *(1 solid shell in to the dip between next two shells, sk 2 st, 1 hdc in to next st on the peak of a shell, sk 2 st ) *, repeat from * to * ending with a (tr, ch 1, tr) in the last st.
