Free Crochet Pattern!

Fishnet Ruffle Scarf



A sexy take on a romantic favorite, this ruffle scarf is great for beginners because it requires knowledge of few stitches, but still produces an interesting yet classy scarf. 

What you need to know

  • chain stitch (Ch), slip stitch(sl st), and single crochet OR foundation single crochet 

What you need to have

  • approximately 300 yards of yarn. Worsted weight 4 ply yarn is recomended, but it is obviously up to you.
  • an H (5.00 mm) crochet hook. Or whatever size hook you prefer


Pattern!

Row 1: Make a foundation single crochet that is as long as you would like the scarf to be. Here's a good video to learn to make the foundation single crochet or refresh your memory! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZrabIcA8C8 Measure it keeping in mind that finished length or the scarf will be the foundation STRETCHED plus 8-10 inches. I recommend about 4.5 feet, and that will take about 300 yards of yarn. Chaining the desired length and then single crocheting the first row is possible, but it is so much more work and doesn't look as good (imo)
Row 2: Ch 6, sl st in first st, *Ch 4, sl st in next st* in every stitch of the row, turn
Row 3: Ch 6, sl st in first loop, *Ch 4, sl st next chain loop* in every loop, turn
Row 4: Repeat Row 3
Row 5: Ch 7, sl st in first loop *Ch 5, sl st in next chain loop* in every loop, turn
Rows 6 and 7: Repeat Row 5
Row 8: Ch 8, sl st in first loop *Ch 6, sl st in next chain loop* in every loop, turn
Rows 9, 10, and 11: Repeat Row 8
Row 12: *Ch 7, sl st in next loop* in every loop. Fasten off, weave in ends.
