The Lazy Hobbyhopper: Filet crochet triangle scarf

This is an asymmetric triangle scarf/shawl made using the filet crochet technique which seems to be my new favorite. This pattern is very easy and you don't have to refer to the pattern very often. The finished scarf has a wingspan of about 156 cm and a height of 50 cm when worked using fingering weight yarn and a crochet hook size G/4 mm.

Row 81: Ch 4 (counts as dc + ch 1), skip next st, **dc in next st, ch 1, skip next st** Repeat from ** to ** across finishing with 2 dc in last st. Turn.

Row 82: Ch 4 (counts as dc + ch 1), dc in next st, **ch 1, dc in next dc** Repeat from ** to ** across. Turn.

Row 84: Ch 3, dc in same st, dc in each st and dc in each ch-1 space across. Turn. (85 sts)

Stitch Pattern (SP) - dc in 6 sts, (ch 1, skip next st, dc in next st) twice, ch 1, skip next st

Row 85: Repeat SP 7 times, dc in rest of the sts except the last, 2 dc in last st. Turn. (Begin the row with ch 3 which will count as the 1st dc)

Row 86: Repeat row 84. Turn. (87 sts)

Row 87: Ch 4 (counts as dc + ch 1), skip next st, (dc in next st, ch 1, skip next st) twice, repeat SP 7 times, dc in rest of the sts except the last, 2 dc in last st. Turn.

Row 88: Repeat row 84. Turn. (89 sts)

Rows 89 to 92: Repeat rows 85 to 88 one more time repeating SP as many times as required. If any row is supposed to end with ch-1 spaces, check to see if there are enough sts to work three ch-1 spaces. If there aren't enough sts then continue working dc until the end finishing the row with 2 sts in the last st.

Rows 93 to 96: Repeat rows 81 to 84

Repeat rows 85 to 88 three times followed by rows 81 to 84.

Then repeat rows 85 to 88 four times followed by rows 81 to 83. Cut off yarn and weave in the loose ends.

Block the scarf for best result.
