Lattice Work Scarf
Materials Required:
13 skeins Bear Brand Germantown, 4-fold.
4 skeins Bear Brand Rococo Wool.
1 amber or bone crochet hook, No. 5.
1 Lattice Pin, No. 1 (16 inches long).
(Note—These directions are based on 16 skeins to the box Germantown. If the “10 skeins to the box” wool is used, the number of skeins required will be proportionately less.)
Using the Germantown and crochet hook, chain 62 and turn. Make 1 double crochet stitch (1 d. c.) in the fourth chain from the needle and 1 d. c. in each of the other chains. 60 d. c. in all, counting the three chains skipped as 1 d. c. Turn. The work should measure 14 inches in length and be ¾ of an inch high.
Second row: ch. 2, wool over and take up a loop through the front thread of the second stitch of previous row, wool over and through all three loops on needle, thus forming one short, double crochet stitch. Continue making 1 s. d. c. in each stitch to the end, always counting the chain made when beginning row as one stitch. Turn. 60 stitches.
Third row: chain 3, 1 d. c. in second and each succeeding stitch of previous row, taken through the double thread. 60 stitches.
Repeat second and third rows until there are five rows, in all, or the work measures 3 inches in depth; ending with a double crochet row.
The border is next to be made. Turn and * draw a loop through the back thread of first stitch and through the loop on needle, thus forming 1 slip stitch (1 s. s.). Repeat from * in each stitch of row. Turn. Make 1 single crochet stitch in each stitch of double crochet row taking up the back thread. Through the last stitch draw the Rococo wool and fasten off Germantown.
Lattice Work: draw up the loop of Rococo and slip it on the Lattice pin. This pin is held under the right arm firmly. Hold the wrong side of work toward you and with crochet hook pull a loop of wool through the double threads of second stitch and slip it on the pin. Continue drawing one loop through each stitch to the end—60 loops on pin. Join on the Germantown and fasten off Rococo. Slip loops off the pin. * Draw the fourth, fifth and sixth loops, in turn, through the first three loops and make 1 s. c. in each loop as it is drawn through; then 1 s. c. in each of the first three loops, thus forming the lattice. Repeat from * all along row. Turn.
Repeat the four border rows over and over until there are five rows of lattice work. Then repeat the first, second and again the first row. When making the second rows the stitches are to be taken up on the back threads of the fourth rows.
The center is made as the second and third rows of scarf were made: the first row of d. c. being taken on back thread of border and all subsequent d. c. rows taken through the double thread. Make center 50 inches long, then repeat border. Make 5 rows to match beginning and then begin border down the side of scarf. Make a row of s. c. putting 3 s. c. in the end of each d. c. row and 2 s. c. in each s. d. c. row, or enough to make work flat. Across the end of each lattice row chain 3. Be sure this row contains a multiple of six stitches. Turn and slip stitch on the back thread of s. c. stitches and across the 3 chained stitches. Continue as border was made on ends until two rows of lattice work have been made, then repeat first, second and again the first border rows and fasten off. Finish second side in same manner. Across the ends put a knotted-in fringe in every fourth stitch. Put six strands of Germantown in each tassel and cut strands 12 inches long.
