Women's crochet openwork scarf can be called the simplest knitted product. It is a rectangle and can be decorated on short edges with fringe, tassels or pompons.
A wide and very long scarf is called a stole. His task is not only to warm his owner, but also to complement her image.
Yarn selection
The correct selection of materials is very important for creating a truly high-quality product. Recommended thread thickness is in the range of 400-600 m / 100 grams. The composition of the yarn does not have to include warm fibers. Cotton, viscose, polyamide and other interesting materials will help to create a beautiful crocheted openwork scarf. Many patterns and descriptions include yarn recommendations.
However, one should not go too far with the decorativeness of the future product. Busting with lurex, beads and textured yarn will lead to the fact that the scarf will not fit into any image.
To avoid errors in the process, it is worth linking a control sample. It will allow you to more accurately calculate the required number of rapports and loops for the scarf. In addition, a sample made from a specific yarn according to the selected pattern will show the actual appearance of the pattern and the density of the knitting.
Crochet a mohair or angora openwork scarf (the diagram and description can relate even to very openwork patterns) is good because it will remain warm, despite numerous holes. The long fibers characteristic of such a yarn perfectly retain heat, and a scarf made of very thin fluffy thread looks very impressive. Wide scarves can be worn on the head instead of a scarf or hat.
Simple crocheted openwork scarf: diagram and description
The photo shows a classic scarf. Its parameters (width and length) are average, and a very simple pattern was used for manufacturing.
The following is a pattern that is suitable for this type of work. True, a scarf can be knitted from almost any openwork pattern.
The order of work consists of the following steps:
- Production of a sample, its measurement and calculation of product dimensions.
- Start of work according to the scheme (knit the required number of rapports).
- When the length of the scarf reaches the planned size, work is stopped.
At the final stage, the scarf can be tied around the edge and decorated with fringe.
When working with a direct canvas, you need to ensure that the edges remain smooth. The disadvantage of the hook is the imperceptible reduction or addition of loops at the edges. Such a crocheted openwork scarf for beginners will provide the development of the skill of handling openwork paintings.
Ribbon lace scarf
Different types of ribbon lace are often used to create scarves.
The same principles are relevant here as when knitting simple scarves. True, making a sample becomes not a recommendation, but a necessity. Depending on the size of the rapports, the thickness of the thread and the density of knitting, the width of the scarf may include only one or more ribbons.
The diagram shows instructions for knitting ribbon lace and an example of a finished knitted fragment.
Upon completion of knitting of the main fabric, it should be tied with several rows of single crochet columns or a pattern with pico from air loops.
Motif scarf
This technique is often used to knit scarves. Separately executed and collected in one canvas motifs allow you to get an extremely beautiful and complex crocheted openwork scarf. The scheme and description of the fragments are presented in the article.
Optimal for a scarf can be considered square and triangular fragments, but round motifs of a small size are also suitable.
