An Inspired Lace Scarf

[woolandflax]

Here is the scarf!!! Finally the pattern is complete. :bow
After thinking about it, I would rate this pattern as a intermediate level pattern. The actual stitches themselves are not hard. The counting though is a little more challenging to a beginner. I'm not saying you can't make it and it turn out beautiful, just that you will need to focus and concentrate on what you are doing more so than on a simple dc scarf. But the result is well worth it.

For some reason photobucket is not letting me rotate the pic so sorry it's upside down!

I'm sorry Rebecca and all that I haven't posted a pic of my scarf pattern yet but I ran out of yarn!!!:cry and I can't find any more!!:th If anyone has any Red Heart Cotton Twist in the medium blue, not the light blue, I would be willing to pay for it or trade so I can finish this scarf!! I only need one skein.

~Rebecca

[kariholtz]

Oh Rebecca I wish I had know last week... my WM had their CT on clearance and had some medium blue I got the lilac color but if we go back and there is anymore blue I 'll snag one up for you!

[woolandflax]

We went to WM last night, I told hubby I needed to go to the yarn and explained why and we went and right off I noticed that all the clearenced yarn was gone! my heart fell. But hubby being the dear he is said don't give up and we walked all over looking and I finally gave up and he led me past the fabric and lo and behold a beautiful sight!!! It was all there!!! So I have your skien of med blue cotton twist! - thanks to hubby!
Just email me kariholtz (at) gmail (dot) com or send me a message to me ez inbox with your address and I will mail it this weekend. (Will be UPS as it's easier for us to get to).

I made 1 square yesterday and it's lovely I used bernat pink baby yarn, since I live in Texas don't need it to be thick at all allthough we are having a cold snap :w-cold

Oh the only typo in the pattern I found was on Rd 3 Sl st to next dc, Ch3 It should be 2 dc instead of 3 of course I haven't done the edging yet . Thanks so much for the pattern
Rebecca it's going to be beautiful:)h

This was the one in the post she was looking for a pattern like it:yes I'm on my second motif and it's really gonna be pretty.It's very feminine though.

[mc_crochets]

[Mom w/a Motif]

Did anyone ever finish one of these scarves? I am wondering if anyone took a picture of one yet.:camera I just started it and already I'm stumped. I guess I'll just keep trying to figure it out....:th :help Thanks:)

[Mom w/a Motif]

Well I finished one motif; I don't know if it's right... but it's pretty lacy! Can't wait to see how everyone else's turn out!:))

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

Here you go I'm gonna take the fringe off the sides and add more to the ends,but it's really cute.

[Mom w/a Motif]

It is beautiful!!! I am on the edging part of mine; I didn't realize it was a pineapple design until I saw your picture. (I did do it right; it didn't "look" like anything until it is sewn together...)

I had a hard time on the edging (1st row, sc part, getting exactly 510 sc.) I finally did the math, and figured out that you need 23 sc on the edge of each motif. With the 2sc on the corners, this will equal 510. When you do the sides with the corners, you will end up with the 23rd sc in the corner space, then you sc again in same space, then start over counting 23 for next side.... Hope this might help anyone else having same problem. I had to crochet the edging three times before I did the math. :bang Should have done that first...:rolleyes

Your scarf is gorgeous, Chelle. You do beautiful work. Thank you for the beautiful pattern, Rebecca!

Oh, woops! Edited cuz I thought lv2crochet and luv2crochet were the same; that's why I called you Chelle, Alisha- sorry! Got you two confused.

[natalie058]

um - don't mean to stick my nose in but I have to -

I believe the pattern for this scarf was actually written by Rebecca, (woolandflax).

edited cuz i can't spell

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

Oh man Rebecca that's beautiful :)h The color really brings the pattern out. I totally agree you just have to concentrate on it ,it's not hard though.

[truelove730]

You did a great job with that! Very nice. I can't wait to try it myself!

[bythehook]

Upside down, inside out, sideways or anyways, that is a beautiful scarf!
:clap :cheer2 :clap :cheer2 :clap :cheer2 :clap :cheer2 :clap

[Tiffany]

Stunning! :)h

:yay It uses Cotton Twist! LOL I have nine balls of it that I bought for another project and never made.

[woolandflax]

Thanks guys!! I'm so glad you all like it. Tiff, it actually only takes about 2 1/2 balls of the cotton twist. So you'd have enough to make 3!! It is really drapey and soft. In this cotton though, it does need to be blocked. I didn't have time before I took the pic and had a hard time getting the fans in the border to lay down.

~Rebecca

[RachelG]

Gorgeous!!!! I'd be thrilled to link to it, if you'd add the picture to the actual pattern page. If you'd rather I didn't, I understand, though. :)

[woolandflax]

I'm gonna do that tonite Rachel when I make some adjustments to the pattern. I'm gonna be submitting it for the calender probably tonite or tomorrow. Thanks!!

~Rebecca

Oh, so pretty! I'd wear that, and I don't even really care for scarves. :lol

[woolandflax]

Thanks so much you all!! I just love seeing the pics of your scarves, they are beautiful!! hmm...how long did it take me? well if i hadn't run out of yarn 7/8 of the way thru, i would have finished in about 3-4 evenings.

[SquirrelWolfs]

This is wonderful!!!! Thank you :clap

[EugeneClarence]

I saw this wonderful bag created from a Japanese scarf pattern at craftser.org. http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=39389.0

I immediately thought of this great scarf pattern and the ginko scarf http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?t=7724 (http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?t=7724)

I don't need any more scarves at the moment but now I have a use for these patterns.

Thanks.

[NPrairie]

WOW! What a clever idea that is! I have always admired Rebecca's Inspired Lace Scarf now even more so!!!! Just think, a matching bag & scarf set!!! What a great Christmas gift that will be! Thanx for sharing that link to the bag and thanx to Rebecca for the scarf pattern! :manyheart

[misty60820]

This is a very beautiful scarf!! I will be starting this one very soon :-)

[2goofy]

Oh my, that is beautiful! Thank you for the pattern!! :c9

[dhaunae]

Saw this and just couldn't resist trying it, especially since someone said they made it in Simply Soft and it turned out nicely ... and I had one lonely leftover SS skein just begging for a project ... so for the next week or so this is my when-I'm-sick-of-working-on-my-daughter's-afghan project (she begged for an afghan, BEGGED, but not granny squares, mom, ick! No, ripple is too old-fashioned. Ewww, not strips, that looks dumb. Finally I quit asking for approval and just started crocheting using a tried-and-true pattern I've used for baby afghans in the past. Very pretty, but I've done it so many times it's b-o-r-i-n-g). Anyway -- I have to say that when I finished the first motif for the scarf I looked at it, and turned it and looked at it again, and scratched my head and wondered what I'd done wrong; I just couldn't picture it. 3 motifs later I laid them all out on the sofa and wow, suddenly I can see it! Can't wait til this is done; if it turns out half as beautifully as the ones in this thread I'll be making several for Christmas presents. I'm in awe of anyone who can create a pattern for something this lovely.

[csabers]

Lani - I laughed when I read your post. When I made mine I thought exactly the same thing. I almost frogged the first square because "that couldn't be right?" I, too was pleased to discover that it was really going to work out!

Good luck and don't forget to post a pic!

[woolandflax]

(Blushing) Aw, thanks ya'll. I'm glad you like my pattern. I'd love to see more pics of all the scarves ya'll are making from it!
