Merletto Scarf Crochet Pattern a Lacy Summer Scarf

Sharing is caring!

The Merletto Scarf is a light and open skinny scarf pattern. This little scarf adds a pop of color to your summer wardrobe without weighing you down.

The open lace stitch is easy to crochet. It’s a version of the v-stitch.

I chose to add fringe to the edges of the scarf, but that is optional so you can leave it off, if you prefer.

I had two balls of yarn so I opted to make a scarf. However, this pattern can be sewn up into a light weight cowl, if you prefer that style.

In the scarf pattern below I include instructions for both options.

Yarn

The yarn for this crochet pattern was generously supplied by WeCrochet.* I was looking for a cotton yarn that was soft, supple and smooth. I’m happy to say their Comfy Worsted yarn is all of those things and more!

The color selection is wonderful. My little lady loves a magenta, so I chose this bright pink-Zinnia with her in mind.

I have to be careful crocheting with cotton, so I definitely want to use yarns that glide easily and don’t add extra tension to my hands.

The Comfy Worsted was really easy to crochet with. I love the saturated color and sheen too!

This is a #4 medium worsted weight yarn. It’s also a blend of pima cotton and acrylic. I really like cotton blends, as they tend to be stronger.

The easy lace for this scarf uses the double crochet and chains. There are photos for the rows in the pattern below.

The June Tote is a cotton market bag that uses this stitch in the round.

And the Via Bag is the June Tote’s big sister. This bag is huge and features one strap, instead of the two on the June Tote.

Notes

  1. Please read through all notes and pattern before you begin.
  2. Work up a gauge swatch using the provided gauge information. If your gauge matches great, continue on. If not, change your hook size and swatch again. If your stitches are smaller, go up a hook size, if they’re larger, go down a hook size. 
  3. Ch 3 counts as a stitch, I highly recommend using a ch 3 alternative, here’s my favorite.
  4. Ch 4 counts as a dc + ch 1.
  5. Stitch multiple is 3.

Construction

This scarf is crocheted on the short end. This means the number of stitches you start with will be how wide your scarf measures.

So as you crochet more rows, your scarf will increase in length. This makes it easy to adjust.

Fit/Adjustment

The stitch multiple for this scarf is 3. To adjust you can add/subtract in 3s to my starting chain.
