Written Instructions


Basic Strip

Step 1: Make two strips of hairpin lace with 375 loops on each side of strip.

Tip! Use locking stitch markers or scrap cuts of yarn to break loops into smaller groups. This will make it easier to manage in later steps.

Step 2: To finish the strip, fasten off and slide loops from the loom.

Join Strips

Step 1: Place two hairpin strips side-by-side taking care not to twist. Release one stitch marker (or scrap yarn) at a time. Place 5 loops from inside of one strip on hk. Then place 5 loops on hk from inside of the other strip. Pull the last five loops through the first five loops.

Repeat: Rep step one until you reach the end of the strips. When you do, secure the “live loop” with a stitch marker so the braid doesn’t come out. We’ll come back to it later.

Crochet the sides

Row 1: Group the first 3 outer loops on either side of the scarf. Twist them (as you would in broomstick lace) and fasten on. 3 sc in a group of 3 loops. *Group the next 3 loops and make 2 sc. Rep from * to the last group of 3 loops. Make 3 sc in the last group. Turn.

Row 2: Ch 1. 1 sc in first st. *Sk 1 st, ws in next st. Rep from * to last st. 1 sc in last st.

Repeat: Rep row 2 until the woven stitch section measures approximately 2″.  Fasten off and repeat on the other side.

Finishing

Step 1: Make six identical tassels that measure approximately 4″ long. Use a tassel maker or see how to make a tassel by hand with our tutorial here.

Step 2: Secure a tassel to each corner of the scarf. Secure a tassel in the live braid loop held by the stitch marker. Secure the last tassel in the middle of the scarf on the opposite side.
