Queen Anne's Lace Scarf

Are you ready to see my most prized just-finished creation?  I am in LOVE............


Well, first......I showed a sneak peek....



Then I shared my trials and tribulations getting it blocked.....


And without further ado, I present....my Queen Anne's Lace scarf  (which I just found out is technically an Advanced stitch.....and I'm 1.5 months into to self-taught crochet!!!!!! Woo Hoo!!!!!!!








I made 60 motifs and am 5'8....it is VERY long.  lol  Pattern called for 50 to 60 motifs...I clearly need to practice with different scarf folding techniques, but I just LOVE this scarf.  So soft!!  So beautiful!!

Here is the FREE pattern:  (Scroll down past the pictures that no longer show for the pattern.)




And if you have trouble reading patterns like I do, PLEASE visit this angel of a blogger, who explained it with PHOTOS - woo hoo!!




And, if you want both ends of the scarf to match, try this new tutorial:



Have I mentioned how much I love crocheting???  And apparently over 1800 other crocheters on Ravelry love this pattern too.  For crochet heaven photos, check out Ravelry!!


I may be linking up to THESE parties!

    wow, this is so awesome! I would never have guessed that you haven't been doing this long. I have a terrible time with patterns, I find it is a little easier if I read them out loud.

    I am very impressed by this scarf, even more so since it's still a new craft for you. With the colors in the yarn it looks like a climbing flowering vine to me. Just lovely!

    You did a beautiful job! I'm an inveterate crocheter, and the Queen Anne's Lace
    Scarf pattern is one of my favorites....my "go to" present for Christmas, birthdays, "Thank You", whatever. Also, love the yarn.....what did you use?
