I love to crochet lacy scarves, but I don’t like to always work the same pattern.
Therefore I was looking for some patterns for such lacy crochet scarves and didn’t find what I was searching for.
Then an idea stroke: What is a lacy crochet scarf but two edgings back-to-back?
On the first photo you see one of my scarves made from a handkerchief edging from a magazine I bought. I used acrylic yarn. The second one is from a towel edging from another book. And for the third I first crocheted a middle strip which I surrounded afterwards by a self designed edging.
Addendum: By the way, I found this idea so clever, that I entered this post to the This Thursday is all about… challenge 3 Clearly Clever ;-))
Therefore Tracey’s comment ;-)

Now you know, why I love to make my lacy scarves from edgings, they always look so delicate.
What a great inspiration! I love to crochet and am always looking for new ways of doing things. Your crocheted lace edgings are beautiful! How clever of you to combine them to make a scarf! Clearly a good idea!!
Thank you Barbara.
I’m looking forward to seeing some of your future edging scarves at your blog ;-)
