Interlocking Chevron Lace Scarf Free Pattern

Interlocking Chevron Lace Scarf

 

This pattern contains knit togethers, yarn overs, the right twist stitch, and the backwards loop cast on method. It is a 20 row repeat that is fairly simple once done a few times.

Finished Measurements

Width: Approximately 9 inches

Length: Knit until desired length

To make scarf wider or narrower you can use larger or smaller yarn or needles, or add or subtract multiples of 20 stitches and changing the number of times you repeat the lace pattern. To make scarf longer or shorter, simply knit until you are happy with the length.

Materials

-For my scarf I used Peaches and Cream worsted, 4-ply, 100% cotton yarn, in the color Ivy League. My scarf used about 400 g, or 700 yards, but this will change depending on the length of your scarf.

-You will also need two needles, either straight, or double pointed. Or, you can use a long circular needle, which is how mine was made. My needles were 4.5 mm.

Gauge

5 stitches/7 rows = 1 inch, approximately. Gauge is by no means crucial, and will vary with yarn and needle size.
