Jacqueline Scarf
The Jacqueline Scarf was designed for the Scarf Of The Month Club hosted by Oombawka Design and The Stitchin’ Mommy and I’m so excited to have been included!
I made my sample in Red Heart Italian Story Luce worsted weight yarn. This yarn is a nylon, acrylic, mohair and polyester blend yarn with small sequins throughout that give it just a touch of sparkle. The yarn is available in 8 pretty colors – I used Sabbia for my scarf. I love how soft, rich and elegant this yarn is and the amount of drape it has too. Of course, you could choose from a wide variety of yarns for this scarf and frankly you could use any weight, by changing up the hook and the starting chain to adjust sizing.

For the Jacqueline Scarf I wanted a simple lace stitch sequence so the yarn could really shine. I also wanted a simple repeat so that the scarf could be easily sized both in length and width. I made mine extra long to allow for various wearing options but naturally, you could adjust it to your liking. I did start my scarf with a Foundation Single Crochet (FDC) rather than a chain and row of single crochet because I find for large, flat pieces like this, the extra stretch of the FDC helps it to lay flat rather than pucker on one side. If you prefer the traditional chain and single crochet method, just follow Option 2 for the first row of the pattern.
I added some simple fringe because I think it gives it a really nice finish, but you could leave it plain or add some other trim if you prefer.
Size: Approximately 12″ wide x 80″ long – easily adjusted.
Materials:
- Made with worsted weight yarn (#4), I used Red Heart Italian Story Luce in the color Sabbia, 2 balls (218 yards each).

I have written two options to get this scarf started, the first starts with a row of Foundation Single Crochet (FSC) which is my preferred method as it tends to have a bit more give and less puckering; the second is the traditional chain with single crochets. Either method will work, just keep I mind if you use the chain method you must chain loosely, perhaps even go up a hook size for that first row.
The fringe is optional of course, but I like the look!

Row 2: Ch4 (counts as dc + ch1), dc in same st, skip 1, sc 1, skip 1, *[Shell, skip 1, sc, skip 1] 2 times*; repeat between * until 5 sts remain, Shell, skip 1, sc 1, skip 1, [dc, ch1, dc] in last st. (42 shells, 43 sc, 2 VSt)

Row 17: Repeat Row 3.
Row 18: Ch1, turn, 1 sc in each st and each c2 space to end. Fasten off. (173)
Fringe:
Step 1: Cut strands of yarn double the length that you want your fringe to be (I made mine 16”) and I used 4 strands for each fringe and I have 5 fringes on each side, so for me that worked out to be 40 strands, 16” long each.
Step 2: Put The number of strands you want together, matching the ends, fold in half.
Step 3: Insert the folded half in a space on the scarf and pull the cut ends through the folded loop to secure in place. Tug to make even and neat.
Step 4: You may trim the fringe if necessary, to get a uniform length.
