This lacy crochet scarf is made with linen yarn from Darn Good Yarn. It’s my first time working with linen yarn and I’m really amazed at how it instantly makes your project more elegant and dressy. The sport weight yarn helps get a great drape and flow in your triangular shawl. The linen is also surprisingly soft against your skin.

Abbreviations & Instructions

Notes

Repeat instructions between ** the indicated number of times or until the end of the round.

The final number of stitches is indicated at the end of the row between < >.

The turning ch 1, ch 2 does not count as stitches throughout the pattern except if mentioned otherwise.

I use a turning ch 2 for dc stitches as I find it gives me a neater edge.

Stitches above a ch 1 space are worked in the ch 1 space.
