The perfect fall scarf

Fall’s in-between-y weather calls for a scarf that’s cozy but not so stifling that you have to take it off the minute you get indoors. This lacy lightweight scarf can be made with just about any yarn you like (and it’s a great way to use up your stash), but I used super soft organic merino wool.

Lightweight lace scarf

Materials

​1 skein Sublime organic merino wool DK
Size J/10 crochet hook
Scissors
Tapestry needle

Instructions

Chain 20. Single crochet into the 8th chain from the hook. Chain 5. Skip 3 stitches and single crochet into the 4th stitch over. Repeat ch 5 and SC into 4th stitch until you reach the end. Chain 5, turn.

Row 2: SC into the middle of the loop you just made. Chain 5 and SC into the next loop. Repeat until the end of the row, ch 5 and turn. Repeat the pattern across every row until piece measures 60 inches. Cut yarn and weave in ends.

I’ve made this scarf with a lot of different yarns. I really liked the softness and extra bulk of Lion Brand’s organic cotton yarn, which is discontinued now, but there are a lot of similar cotton yarns out there.  Hobby Lobby’s Cotton XXL yarn is almost identical and comes in great colors.

This pattern is really adaptable to whatever yarn you want to use and whatever length and width you want the scarf to be. You could even add fringe!

It’s been really fun seeing all the different versions on Ravelry. You gotta love a pattern that works up this quickly and easily!
