Women’s crochet scarf using Dentelle pattern

This is an easy scarf pattern by Shara Lambeth (click here for pattern). It makes up light and drapey using a fine 8 ply yarn and 3.5 mm hook. This type of pattern is great when you’re not sure if you have enough yarn for a long scarf because you just decide the width and then keep crocheting until the yarn runs out.

For this scarf, I used Lincraft’s Marmaris yarn (100g (550m), 80% acrylic 10% mohair 10% angora effect,  fine 8 ply maybe 6 ply?, colour grape). Recommended needle size 3.75mm. This was a nice yarn to work with, and created a soft drapey finish that I’m very pleased with.

Using a 3.5mm hook, and starting with 39 chain, the scarf used 1 ball of yarn, and had a finished size of 7 inches wide and 65 inches long.

This pattern is suitable for any size yarn or hook. Simply start with any number of chain divisable by 7 plus 4, which gives the desired width, and then work the pattern to the desired length.

The scarf is really soft and drapes beautifully. It is also soft enough to tie in a loose knot or just fold and wrap.

I like crocheting scarfs on the train because they’re small and the patterns are easily remembered so you don’t need a pattern open on your lap. Because I used a 3.5mm hook for this scarf, it provided many train hours of entertainment.
