Crocheted Flower Shawl

junghanswolle Crocheted Flower Shawl

I find this crocheted scarf really cute, it simply consists of lengths of chains and strewn little flowers ;-)
Once I crocheted this pattern, but without the lengths of chains and even though it looks tricky I didn’t found it very difficult.
You just have to follow the diagram carefully ;-))

But I found the scarf very cute and so I tried to remember how it worked and wrote my own pattern.
It is much more flexible because it tells you how to modify the length of chains between the little flowers.

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 ;-)
