This delicate scarf is worked back and forth from one tip to the other with decreases and increases at the ends to create its defining crescent shape. The lacy border is worked along the entire length once the main body of the scarf is completed. You won’t regret making this gorgeous pattern that pairs perfectly with your favorite floral dress.

Do you have any conversion info if I want to use Caron Simply Soft yarn (#4)? How about a stitch diagram? Thanks!!!
Hello! We’ve reached out to the designer for advice and she or I will reply as soon as possible. Thanks! – Nicola
Hello! Update: Unfortunately, no stitch diagram. If using a heavier weight yarn, use the appropriate hook size for yarn weight and follow pattern instructions. Reduce the Center Section down to 1 repeat. Scarf will end up larger (both length and depth) than indicated in the pattern.
Hope that helps! – Nicola

The beginning of this does not make sense. No direction on turning or not turning. I don’t get this.
Hello Sarah! We’ve reached out to the designer for clarification and she or I will reply as soon as possible. Thanks! – Nicola
Hello Sarah! Update: Turn at the end of each row. Happy crocheting! – Nicola
Is there a diagram to go with this pattern?
