Crochet Bricks & Lattice Scarf



Crochet Bricks & Lattice Scarf

This is a one skein crochet scarf. I purchased the yarn for a few bucks on clearance. It's really bizarre and makes stripes that are thin to thick and fuzzy. Who doesn't love fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi?

The original FREE pattern "Bricks & Lattice" was from Elizabeth Ham, July 2012 also available on Ravelry.

Sprig Stitch = 2SC/CH2/2SC in SP

Gauge: Will be determined by the hook chosen.

Notes: The top (HDC) and the sides (Sprig stitch) will seem like they make a 90 degree angle where they meet.

    

INSTRUCTIONS:

F: Make ring

Rnd 1: CH 1, 10 HDC, SL (10)

Rnd 2: CH 1, INC around, SL (20)

Rnd 3: CH 1, *HDC, INC around*, SL (30)

Rnd 4: CH1, *HDC, HDC, INC around*, SL (40)

Rnd 5: CH 1, HDC, INC, *HDC, HDC, HDC, INC around*, SL (50)

Rnd 6: *INC, HDC, HDC, HDC, HDC around*, SL (60)

Rnd 7-8: HDC around (60) This is the top which will turn upwards like a bowl. It is meant to go 2” past the typical top of your head. Flattened out the diameter is 8”.



















Rnd 9: Start Sprig Stitch. *2 SC/CH 2/2 SC around*, SL to next SP (15 Sprigs)

Rnd 10 – 18: Continue Sprig Stitch in spaces. Don’t Slip stitch at row’s end. Pull them down from the points as made to see true length. Try hat on to add/delete rows as you desire. Sides are 4” long as designed.


Make Bow:

F: CH 51, T

Rows 1-12: SC in first, BLSC across, SC in last, T (50)

Finished size 2 ¾” tall x 16 ¾” long. Don’t cut yarn. Using starting chain tail whip short ends together, so wrong side is out. Don’t overlap fabric. Fold in half so seam is on bottom. Using yarn ball, wind yarn around both pieces tight, scrunching fabric. Do this evenly and as many times as necessary to make it look like a bow. Knot on underside. Cut an 18” tail, use to sew to hat. I put hat on wig stand, then pinned bow 1” above starting ring.

Crochet My Way Beanie Hat

  

Crochet My Way Beanie Hat

This is a crochet beanie hat that fits snuggly around the head and falls to the middle of the ears. The beauty of this beanie is that the stripes hide the awkward diagonal bump line of slip stitching at the end of each round. This hat also has no banding at the bottom.

Category: Hat

Hook Size: Clover 7 (4.5 mm)

Yarn: Ice – Antipilling Acrylic – Green Brown Shades (self striping)

Slip stitching at each round makes a diagonal “bump” line. This is very noticeable in a solid color yarn.
