Spring announces itself in so many ways, including the little tendrils sent up and out by so many plants. This scarf makes an elegant fashion statement with randomly curling and curving tendrils, and drapes softly over your spring shell or sweater. If you\u2019ve ever wanted to try some \u201cfree form\u201d crochet, the method used here to create the tendrils will give you a little taste of that experience, while still providing the predictability of a tested pattern. The stretchy mesh of the main scarf provides graceful drape, no matter how the scarf is wrapped or tied.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Notes …
<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Length<\/strong><\/td>\n\n

Scarf length can be varied by working more or fewer rows before the decrease rows. The mesh does stretch in both directions, however, so keep that weight and pull in mind if you make it longer\u2026 the longer it gets, the more it stretches lengthwise when hung around your neck from the center. When unstretched, the mesh forms a solid, but very soft and flexible, fabric.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Stitches Used<\/strong><\/td>\n\n

Special Stitches<\/td>\nTendrils<\/strong><\/p>\n

Instead of using a simple chain for turning at the end of each row, a \u201ctendril\u201d is created. For these to be successful in final appearance, RANDOMNESS is a key factor! To make a tendril, chain any number between 11 and 17, varying the length of the tendrils from row to row. Then work back along the chain, using any combination of single crochet and slip stitches (inserting hook in front loop only, back loop only, back \u201cbump\u201d of chain, or under any 2 of the three strands of a chain). It\u2019s best to work 2 to 4 stitches in one manner and then change for the next 3 or 4. A tendril will twist and bend because of the differences in the stitches, and it\u2019s important to allow this to happen\u2026Like all your worst nightmares about working a twisty chain– here, they\u2019re not only allowed, but encouraged! The final stitch in each tendril should be a slip stitch into the first chain made. Then you\u2019re ready to start the next row of the scarf\u2019s main body.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
