This scarf is made with a very easy lacy mesh pattern that could be adapted to make a choker, cuff bracelet, or headband. It’s a very simple pattern: chain 4, then slip stitch into the next chain 4 space.

To start, chain a multiple of 4 (plus 1 extra) the width that you want your scarf to be. Then slip stitch into the fifth chain from the hook, chain four, and slip stitch into the fourth chain from the slip stitch. Do this across your row, then start the pattern of chain 4, slip stitch into the next chain 4 space. I love simple patterns, and this one makes an open mesh so it’s great for summery projects.

My scarf is about 20 chain stitches wide, or 5 repeats of chain 4, slip stitch. I used exactly one skein of Vickie Howell Collection “Love” from Southwest Trading Company. It’s a bamboo/silk blend that I love, so soft, and has a nice sheen. If it was a little thinner, I’d make jewelry out of it, because the slight shine would look great with beads - but its thickness is sport or DK, which would make kind of bulky-looking jewelry. It would be great for crocheted flowers though.
