Crochet A Scarf Or Two

Scarves are all the fashion rage right now! I see them everywhere. Lovely chiffon, gorgeous silks, brocades, florals, hand painted, you name it, it’s at the mall on mannequins and on people passing by.

Leena has crocheted the delicate edging that takes this particular scarf from the mundane to something truly special. I love the touch of the simple but effective edging. It adds so much to the scarf – and no one else will have one just like yours. You can get Leena’s instructions for making this edging right here.

A different treatment can be seen here. There is no pattern given, but a good picture and description will have you able to make your own in no time.

I guess the idea is that you could use almost any crochet edging pattern – of which there are literally thousands available in books and online – and stitch onto a scarf to make your unique accessory.

In addition to the crocheted edging, beads and things like sequins could be added in small quantities to create a large impact. The finished project will come from your imagination and fingers – and will be unique but oh, so stylish these days!

Some crochet garments look beautiful on the hanger but feel awkward to wear. This Lacy Crochet Tee from Lana Grossa is not one of those pieces. It’s light, breathable, and very much designed to be worn — the kind of handmade top that slips easily into your everyday wardrobe without feeling “too precious.”

What immediately stands out is the openness of the stitch pattern. It has that airy, lacy feel that works so well for warmer weather or for layering over a tank or dress. This isn’t a heavy, structured garment; it’s soft and fluid, with just enough texture to make it interesting while still letting the yarn shine.

From a making point of view, this tee is a really enjoyable project if you like crochet that feels calm and rhythmic. The lace pattern keeps your hands engaged without constant counting or frustration, which makes it perfect for evening crochet or quiet weekend sessions. It’s also very satisfying watching the fabric grow — those lacy stitches really show progress quickly.

Skill-wise, this one is best suited to confident beginners moving into intermediate crochet. You don’t need advanced shaping skills, but being comfortable with stitch patterns and keeping even tension will make the process much more enjoyable. If you’ve been wanting to dip your toe into wearable crochet without tackling a full sweater, this is a great place to start.

What I really appreciate about this pattern is how versatile it is. Change the colour and fibre and it can feel casual and beachy or clean and modern. It’s the kind of tee you’ll reach for again and again, especially when you want something handmade that still feels light and effortless.

If you enjoy crochet garments that are wearable, practical, and quietly stylish, this lacy tee is a lovely pattern to have in your collection.
