Our friend Kelly Jahraus is a dyed-in-the-wool crochet evangelist. She certainly hooked us with this scarf! We love that it has the look of a delicate lace stitch but is—we kid you not—all simple single crochet. The secret is the humongous hook, which takes a little getting used to, but then it flies!

We’re thrilled with the versatility of this pretty, quick-to-crochet piece. The smaller scarf version is light and airy enough to wear as an indoor accessory, tied long or wrapped short. The larger wrap makes an elegant shawl, with enough length to pour over one shoulder. Or bunch it up around your neck as a lavish scarf. It’s also gorgeous flung casually over
the back of a chair—so even when you’re not wearing it, you can enjoy it.

Hook Size: Size P (11.5mm) crochet hook, or size to obtain gauge. Note: We like bamboo. (Ravelry does not list the size P/11.5mm hook as an option--but it’s what we used to get gauge for this pattern.)
