How to Crochet a Scarf in Ribbon Lace

 Hi there,
This scarf is done in what is called Ribbon Lace. You crochet by turning your work around, work that side then turn around again, doing half motifs. It is not for beginners, but never hold back on trying something new!

HOW TO CROCHET A SCARF IN RIBBON LACE

Red Heart Boutique, Unforgettable, color is Parrot

Hook size 5mm, 8 US 

This is a more advanced project

Picot – 3ch, sc in the 1^st ch,

Sc = single crochet,  Dc = double crochet,  Sp = space,  Tr = treble,  St = stitch, 

Ch = chain,  * * =repeat work in between the stars,  Tog = together,  yo – yarn over, ss = slip stitch

3 Treble Together = *Wrap yarn around hook x2, insert hook into st (read pattern for either same st or into the next st), yarn over, bring a loop thru, yarn over, thru 2 loops, thru 2, leave rest on hook*, repeat till 3 trebles done, yarn over and thru all remaining loops.

1.  Make a magic circle with 22dc (ch3 for 1^st dc), ss into top of beg ch3

2.  ch5 (standing for 1dc and 2ch),  1dc, ch2 in each stitch all the way around = 22 dc, ss into the 3^rd ch.

3.  ss into 1^st ch sp, ch 3, 2Tr tog in the same space, 3ch,

 *3Tr tog in the same space, 3 ch in each space around* end with 3ch, ss into the top of the 3tr (you should have 22 Tr clusters)

4.  ch15, sc in 1^st ch sp,

 4sc in each of the next 6 ch spaces,

2sc in the next ch sp, 1 picot, 2sc all in the same sp, repeat this till you have 13 picots, your last 2 ch spaces just do 4sc in each, ss in first ch (FIRST MOTIF)

5.  start with a slip knot (new yarn)  and do a sc in the sc you made in the 1^st ch sp, ch 2 (sc counts as the 3^rd one)

Skip 3sc and sc in the next st, turn your work around (to the wrong side of your work) and do 14dc in the large ch sp (the ch3 we did on previous row counts as the 1^st dc) so you should have 15dc in the ch sp

Ch3, sc in the 4^th sc, ch 2,Turn your work around,

 dc in the first dc (in the 15ch sp), ch2,* dc in the next dc, ch2* do this all the way around and you should have 15dc (including the one shown in video)

sc into the 4^th sc, ch3, skip 3sc and sc into the 4^th sc

ch3, turn your work around,

6.  3Tr tog in the 1^st ch sp, ch 3, *3Tr tog, ch 3 in the next sp)* (14 clusters at the end) end with ch3

Sc in the 4^th sc, turn work around,

Ch1, sc in the ch sp, picot, sc 2 in the same sp,

2sc in the next sp, picot, 2sc in the same sp, repeat this till you have 8 picots,

4sc in the next sp, repeat this in the next 7 spaces (motif done)

THIS YOU REPEAT OVER AND OVER

7.  Sc in the sc (above first tr) and sc in the next sc

ch13, turn work around, sc in the 1^st sc,

ch3, sc above the next Tr, Turn work around,

8.  11dc in the circle(13ch) the ch3 from previous round is the 1^st dc (12 all together)

Sc above 1^st Tr,  ch3, sc above the next Tr, Turn work around,

Ch2, dc in the 1^st dc (the dc you made in the 13ch circle), *ch2, dc in the next dc*, keep doing this and you should have 12dc, end with the dc,

Sc above the next Tr,  ch3, sc above the next Tr, turn work around,

9. ch3, *3Tr Tog in the next space, 3ch* keep doing this till you end up with 11 Tr (end with Tr not ch3)

Sc above the next Tr, ch3, sc above the next Tr, turn work around,

Ch1, sc into the very 1^st space (made by the ch3 of previous round) picot with ch3 in same space, 2sc in the same sp,

*2sc into the next sp, picot, 2sc in the same sp* (rep this until you have 5 picots in the 5 spaces) and then you do *4sc in the next space* repeat the 4sc till you have 7 of the 4sc spaces.

10. This is 7-9 repeated (you just keep doing this until scarf is length you want)
