More Ways To Wrap Your Scarf

by

I recently ran across a great (new to me) way to wrap a scarf.  This does not have to be a crocheted scarf, but since we’re all about crochet here, you can use any of these to wrap all those crochet scarves you want to make.  If you’re making a scarf for a fashionista, you might want to print off some of these ideas and add them with your scarf.  I know that I was certainly not aware that there were so many ways to wrap or use a scarf!  Did you?

Pictured here are just a few of the thirty eight ways the TipJunkie shows to wrap a scarf.  Some are crocheted, some knitted, some woven.  Doesn’t matter what your scarf is made of, you can wrap them all the same way if the length is there.

So, here is your homework.  Take out a scarf you have already made (hoping you’ve made one or two for yourself) and practice some of these nifty ways to drape a scarf to see which one(s) suits you best.  I don’t have much of a neck, but I still like to wear scarves when it’s cold outside – less a fashion statement than a frigid necessity.

  3. JD, don’t know if you know this about me but in addition to designing crochet scarves and other things, I’m a certified image consultant and used to teach workshops on personal image before I became disabled years ago. This is a handout I would have loved to have had back then!

    Scarves are such a fabulous accessory and we all love them! But I know I am often guilty of just tossing one around my neck in some careless manner and wishing I could do something really cool with it! Thank you, thank you for sharing this wonderful chart (in addition to your prior share on the scarf tying in a previous blog)! I am going to keep this handy in my dressing area for reference!

Lightweight Lacy Crochet Tee Pattern That’s Perfect for Layering

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.
