I recently had the opportunity to buy yarn from an indie yarn dyer, but I was only able to get my hands on a single skein! Partially it was because of my budget, but I also got to the release late and the only type of yarn left was worsted weight. I went ahead with my purchase (I am a self proclaimed yarn addict after all!), and was super excited to recieve it. The yarn is beautiful!!
Unfortunately, one skein, or 218 yards, is not a lot to work with. I could have incorporated it into another project, but I wanted the color variations to be seen on their own. I started thinking about what I could make with this, and a lacy scarf came to mind! I could get the length I needed and still showcase the yarn. Once a lacy scarf was chosen the next step was to determine what kind of pattern to use. Initially I thought of the arcade pattern, since it’s one of my favorites, but then I zoned in on a variation of that – the Honeycomb Trellis pattern. The rest, as they say, is history.
I hope you enjoy this pattern. Find the accompanying video tutorial below:
Final measurements: 46 inches long and 7 inches wide, blocked
What you’ll need:
Worsted weight yarn, about 218 yards
5.5 mm crochet hook, I used Furls Odyssey Hooks for this tutorial
Tape measure
Tapestry needle
Gauge: Honeycomb Trellis Stitch – 4″ x 4″ = 17.5 sts by 8 rows, blocked
Abbreviations:
Ch: Chain
St: Stitch
Sc: Single crochet
Hdc: Half double crochet
Sk: Skip
Pattern:
Chain 32 sts. This will create a shawl that is approximately 46 inches long and 7 inches tall. The foundation chain is worked in sets of 5 + 2. If you want to make a cowl, I recommend going up in chain length – consider 37 sts or 42 sts. If you’d like a longer, skinnier scarf, decrease your chain length to 27.
Row 1: Skip the loop closest to the hook, and Sc in the next ch. I prefer to Sc in the back loops of the chain. Sc in all the sts until the end. You should have 31 Sc. Ch 1 and turn your work. The ch 1 does not count an anything.
Row 2: Sc in each sc from the previous row. Ch 1 and turn your work.
Repeat row 2 until you have a total of 5 rows. Ch 1 and turn your work.
Row 6: Sc in the first two sts, then **Ch 3, Sk 2 and place 1 Sc in the next 3 sts**. Repeat **** until the end of the row. After the last chain, you will have 2 sts left. Place 1 Sc into each st. Ch 1 and turn your work. The ch 1 does not count as anything.
Row 7: Place 1 Sc into the first st. ^^Sk the next St, and place 5 Sc into the chain space. Sk 1 St and place 1 Sc into the next st^^. Repeat until the end. After the last set of 5 Sc, sk 1 st and place 1 Sc in the last st of the row. Ch 3 and turn your work. The Ch 3 counts as a Hdc and Ch 1.
Row 8: After your Ch 3, find the 5 Sc from the previous row. “”Skip the first sc, and in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th sc, place 1 Sc. Ch 3.”” Repeat “””” until the end of the row. After placing the last three Sc, Ch 1 and place a Hdc in the last stitch. Ch 1 and turn your work. The ch1 does not count as anything.
Row 9: Place 3 sc in the ch space from the previous row created by the last ch 1 and Hdc. {Sk the next st and place 1 Sc in the 2nd of the three Sc. Sk the next st, then place 5 Sc in the ch space.} Repeat {} until the end of the row. You will end with 3 Sc in the last ch space. Ch 1 and turn your work. This ch 1 does not count as anything.
Repeat Rows 6-9 until you reach the desired height of the scarf you want, remembering to leave enough yarn for the 5 rows of Sc at the end. I had a total of 92 rows of the Honeycomb pattern and 5 rows of Sc for a total of 97 rows.
To finish the panel, repeat Row 2, ch 1, then place 1 Sc in each Sc from the previous row and 2 Sc in each ch space. You will end up with 31 sts at the end.
Repeat Row 2 for a total of 5 times. Tie off and weave in any ends.
Weave in any ends and block your work. I blocked mine using a wet block technique with my blocking mats from Wecrochet.com.
