Start this rectangular scarf in one corner and crochet it on the bias to the opposite corner. The special “filet lace”-style edging is crocheted as you go.

Includes printer-friendly photo step-outs and a stitch diagram. Optional photo tutorial for lefties too!

I originally designed Aeroette to be a practice pattern for a crochet class on the popular Aero Wrap. Like Aero, the scarf length and width are easy to adapt to the amount of yarn you have on hand.

Crocheting a rectangular scarf on the bias in Tunisian filet is rare for Tunisian crochet. Aeroette features the Tunisian foundation slip stitch increase method for this.

Skill Level: Intermediate. A great introduction to lacy biasing would be Tunisian Shakti Scarfythings, which is rated Easy.

After using this pattern, you will know (if you didn’t already):

• How to start a Tunisian crochet project in one corner, build a rectangular scarf on the diagonal by increasing along the edges, and then decrease along both edges to complete it.
• How to increase with the Tunisian Foundation Slip Stitch so that both shaped edges match.
• How to understand this type of Tunisian crochet design in light of traditional filet crochet.
• How to edge Tunisian crochet with lacy filet spaces as you go.
• How to square up Tunisian filet edges with lean picots.

To substitute a thicker or thinner yarn, use a crochet hook size that is 2 to 3 sizes larger than usual for the yarn. The stitch diagram and basic pattern instructions will work for the yarn type, yarn amount, and hook size you decide to use.
