Why you’ll love crocheting this lacy scarf
Design Inspiration
We’ve been invited to a summer wedding and I couldn’t make up my mind whether to accessorise with a lacy scarf or shawl. I’m still undecided!
I’ve had this 4ply yarn in my stash for ages. It has a metallic thread running through the fibres – perfect for adding a bit of glitz.
I wanted to make the lacy scarf wide enough so that it could be styled in different ways.
It’s wide enough to sit comfortably on the shoulders.

But looks just as good looped around the neck (as in the images style on my mannequin below).


How the pattern is worked
- The crochet lace pattern is made using a three row pattern repeat.
- The first row is double crochet (US single crochet).
- The second row is double treble crochet (US treble crochet).
- The final row repeats the first row.
- The total row count for this lacy scarf is 138.
- There is no shaping so no increasing or decreasing is needed.

Yarn Choices
Lion Brand Summer Nights is a superfine/fingering yarn that is perfect for summer projects.
Multi-coloured and twisted with a thin strand of metallic thread, it’s ideal for crocheting shawls, scarves, or summer tops that need a bit of bling.
You can machine wash (30 degrees) and tumble dry garments and accessories made with Summer Nights.
I think it gives a summer wardrobe a fabulous lift!
The colourway I used, Passion Fruit, is no longer available. However, you can purchase other colourways.
Yarn alternatives:
- King Cole Party Glitz 4ply
- Hobbi Universe
- Any 4ply yarn (but you won’t have the sparkle!)
Using 4ply yarn makes the scarf lovely and lightweight and the thin strand of metallic yarn running through gives added glamour.
