Materials Needed

• Yarn: Fingering weight, 100% cotton
• Crochet Hook: 3.5 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 22 stitches x 10 rows = 4 inches in lace pattern

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain of 252 stitches. Ensure your chain is not too tight, as this will affect the overall drape of your scarf.
2. Row 1: In the 5th chain from the hook (this counts as your first V-stitch), make a double crochet (dc). Then, *chain 1, skip the next 2 chains, and in the next chain, make (dc, chain 1, dc)*. Repeat from the asterisk (*) across the entire row. Once finished, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Begin by chaining 4 (this counts as a dc and a chain 1). Skip the first V-stitch from Row 1. Now, in the next chain-1 space, make (dc, chain 1, dc). Repeat this pattern across the row, ensuring to end with a dc in the 3rd chain of your turning chain from Row 1. Turn your work.
4. Continue the Pattern: Repeat Row 2 until your scarf measures 60 inches or your desired length. Make sure to keep your tension consistent to maintain the lace pattern.
5. Finishing: Once you have reached your desired length, fasten off your yarn. Weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle to give your scarf a clean finish.

Now you have your very own Island Breeze Lace Scarf! Enjoy wearing it or gifting it to someone special. Happy crocheting!
