1. Materials Needed

Yarn:

  • Type: Superwash Merino DK weight yarn (or #3 weight yarn).
  • Quantity: Two 100g skeins (approximately 250 m or 273 yards per skein).
  • Recommended Brand: Acru Yarn superwash wool.

Hook:

  • Recommended Size: 4.5mm crochet hook for the project.
  • Optional: Use a 5.5mm hook for your starting chain to prevent it from being too tight.

Additional Tools:

  • Yarn Winder (optional but helpful).
  • Scissors.
  • Yarn needle for weaving in ends.

2. Start with the Foundation Chain

  1. Make a Slip Knot:
    • Form a small “letter E” with your yarn.
    • Insert the hook through the back, pick up the working strand, and pull it through. Tighten gently to form the knot.
  2. Hold the Yarn:
    • Hold the short end of your yarn between your thumb and finger.
    • Drape the working yarn over your first and third fingers, and under your middle finger for tension.
  3. Create a Foundation Chain:
    • Chain 35 stitches using the larger 5.5mm hook.
    • Once finished, switch to the 4.5mm hook for the remainder of the project.

3. Row 1: Single Crochet Foundation Row

  1. Start Single Crocheting:
    • Work a single crochet (SC) in the second chain from the hook and in every chain across the row.
    • Insert the hook into the top bump of the chain, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over again, and pull through both loops on the hook.
  2. Tips for Beginners:
    • Avoid making stitches too tight or loose; aim for consistent, even tension.
    • If you make a mistake, simply pull the yarn back gently to adjust and begin again.

4. Row 2: Double Crochet Row

  1. Chain 3 and Turn:
    • At the end of Row 1, chain 3 and turn your work. This chain three counts as the first double crochet (DC) of the row.
  2. Work a Double Crochet:
    • Skip the first stitch (already counted by the chain 3) and double crochet in the second stitch from the hook.
    • Double crochet across the row, working into each stitch.

5. Row 3: Solid Double Crochet

  1. Alternate Rows:
    • Chain 3 at the start of the row (counts as the first DC).
    • Continue double crocheting across each stitch.

6. Row 4: Introduce the Openwork Pattern

  1. Chain 3 and Turn:
    • At the beginning of Row 4, chain 3 and turn your work.
  2. Work Double Crochets and Chain Gaps:
    • Double crochet into the second, third, and fourth stitches to create a group of 4 double crochets (including the chain 3 as the first stitch).
    • Chain 2 and skip 2 stitches.
    • Work 4 DC into the next 4 stitches.
    • Repeat this pattern across the row: (Chain 2, Skip 2, 4 DC).
  3. Ending the Row:
    • At the end of the row, work your final 4 DC (including 1 into the third chain of the previous row).

7. Row 5: Solid Double Crochet

  1. Chain 3 and Turn:
    • Chain 3 to begin the row.
  2. Double Crochet Across:
    • Work one double crochet into each stitch.
    • When reaching a chain gap, crochet 2 double crochets into the gap to maintain the same stitch count.

8. Row 6: Double Crochet

  1. Repeat a row of solid double crochets as in Row 5.

9. Row 7: Offset Openwork Pattern

  1. Offset the Holes:
    • Chain 3 to start.
    • Work 7 double crochets to begin the row, ensuring the holes are staggered relative to Row 4.
    • Start the openwork pattern with Chain 2, Skip 2, 4 DC.
    • Continue across the row, ensuring symmetry by ending with 7 double crochets.

10. Repeat the Pattern

From Row 4 onward, repeat the sequence of rows (Rows 4–9) to create the desired length for your scarf.

  • Alternate between solid rows and rows with openwork patterns (holes).
  • Finish your scarf with a row of double crochet to mirror the beginning.

11. Add the Final Row

  1. Single Crochet Row:
    • For the final row, instead of chaining 3, chain 1, turn, and work a row of single crochets.
    • This will mirror the solid single crochet row at the beginning of the scarf.
  2. Purpose:
    • This row creates a finished edge and provides a foundation for adding fringe later.

12. Add Fringe to the Scarf

  1. Decide Fringe Length:
    • Determine your desired fringe length. Wendy recommends using a notebook, hardbook, or cardboard to wrap yarn around.
    • For a flowy look, wrap yarn around the object multiple times (e.g., 140 wraps) to determine how many strands to use.
  2. Cut the Yarn:
    • Slide off the wrapped yarn and cut one end to create evenly cut strands.
  3. Attach Fringe:
    • Use your crochet hook to pull a folded strand of yarn through the edge stitches of the scarf.
    • Pull the loose ends through the loop, tighten, and repeat across both ends of the scarf.
    • Add 2 strands in each space or adjust to your desired thickness.
  4. Trim the Fringe:
    • Place the edge of the scarf along a flat surface.
    • Use scissors to trim the fringe evenly for a polished look.

13. Final Result

Once the fringe is trimmed, your Glassy Wing Scarf is complete! The design alternates between solid rows and delicate, openwork patterns that give the scarf a light and airy appearance.

Tips and Conclusion

  • For Beginners: Take your time, and don’t worry if your tension feels uneven at first. Practice will help improve your skill.
  • For Customization: Adjust the length, color, or design by changing the number of chains, rows, or yarn type.
