CoRKSCReW FRinge
used as edging or embellishment, corkscrew fringe is a fun,
whimsical addition to a crocheted item . it looks much more
complicated than it actually is . you basically “overload” a chain
with stitches, usually working three stitches back into each chain .

Illustrations by Ann Swanson


as the stitches crowd into the chain they are forced into a spiral
and the corkscrew is created .

Based on the length of the original chain and choice of stitch,


the corkscrew can be a slender tendril or a fat ringlet . a single
crochet will produce a slender corkscrew, double crochet a
more substantial one .

To make a slender corkscrew, attach the yarn and chain about twenty to twenty-five stitches . Work one
stitch in the first chain and two stitches in each subsequent chain . Fasten off or, if you are creating a row
of fringe, continue on to the next corkscrew working stitches in between as desired (Figure 1) . For a thick
corkscrew, chain twenty stitches . Work one double crochet in the third chain from the hook . Work three
double crochet in each of the next twelve chains . Work one half double crochet in the next chain, one single
crochet in the next chain, slip-stitch in each of the next three chains . Fasten off or continue to the next cork-
screw (Figure 2) . For a corkscrew that curls close to the garment, work three stitches in each chain back to
the beginning instead of tapering to fewer, shorter stitches .

personalize your edge trim by playing with chain length, stitch choice, and corkscrew placement .

THIS SCARF IS NAMED AFTER A LOVED


ONE’S FAVORITE SONG. With one lovely,
lacy stitch pattern and just about any yarn,
you can create an array of comforts large or
small. By working a basic rectangle as wide or
narrow and as long or short as you desire, you
can make anything from this quick scarf to
a rich throw. The lace stitch is a variation of
the strawberry pattern, an easy-to-remember
four-row repeat, with a scalloped side edging
made as you go, to minimize finishing.

Finished Size: 7" wide and 58" long.


Yarn: Moda Dea Bamboo Wool (55% rayon from
bamboo, 45% wool; 145 yd [133 m]/2.8 oz [80 g];
): #3116 ivory, 2 skeins. yarn distributed by coats

Hook: Size I/9 (5.5 mm). Adjust hook size if necessary
to obtain correct gauge.
Gauge: 15 sts = 4" in sc; 1 rep = 31⁄2" and 4 rows = 21⁄2"

FROM THE SECOND I LAID EYES ON THIS YARN, IT


SCREAMED "WAVES!" A brief dip into the Harmony
Guide to Basic Crochet Stitches and a few dangling
rings later, this simple scarf was born. Worked in only
seven long rows, it's warm enough for chilly spring
nights, soft enough to wear against bare skin, and has
sheen to add some flair to casual beachwear.

Finished Size: 4" wide and 53½" long, including rings (each ring
measures 11⁄4" in diameter).
Yarn: Austermann Bambou Soft (65% wool, 35% bamboo; 110 yd
[100 m]/1¾ oz [50 g]; ): #07 teal, 2 balls. yarn distributed by
Skacel.
Hook: Size I/9 (6 mm) h/8 (5 mm). Adjust hook size if necessary
to obtain the correct gauge.
Notions: yarn needle.
Gauge: 12 dc and 8 rows = 4" in patt st.
Skill Level: easy.

Mermaid Scarf
design by Sandi Wiseheart
originally published in Interweave Crochet, Spring 2007

YEARS AGO, A FRIEND OF MINE HOSTED "MERMAID PARTIES," gala women-only events where guests
arrived in satiny ball gowns, glittering sequin sheaths, and sparkling jewelry fit for under-the-sea royalty. I
started my scarf with a stitch pattern originally intended as a flat edging, but the result was too flat. In a wild
moment, I began to crochet half motifs right down the middle of the scarf, forming wavy, lacy layers—it was
then that I heard the mermaids singing.

Finished Size: 3½" wide and 76" long.


Yarn: classic elite premiere (50% pima cotton, 50%
tencel: 108 yd [99 m]/1¾ oz [50g] ): #5289 camellia,
4 skeins.
Hook: Size h/8 (5 mm). Adjust hook size if necessary to
obtain correct gauge.
Notions: About 40 removable stitch markers (m) or
safety pins: yarn needle.
Gauge: 1 motif = 4" wide. Work first and second motifs
of foundation layer to test gauge; measure second motif
only.
Skill Level: Intermediate.

Stitch Guide:
Cluster (cl): *yo, insert hook in hook in sp indicated, yo
and draw up a lp, yo and draw through 2 lps on hook; rep
from * once more, inserting hook in same sp as previous,
yo and draw yarn through all 3 lps on hook.

noteS
the pattern is constructed from half-circle motif “ruffles,” each
worked around a crocheted ring. the motifs are joined as you go
by working one into another in two layers. Markers placed around
ch-3 made at the end of row 1 in all foundation-layer motifs

Crocus Scarf
design by Laura Rintala
originally published in Interweave Crochet, Spring 2007

IN COLORADO, SPRING CAN BE SEVENTY DEGREES


ONE DAY AND SNOWING THE NEXT. Silk, while not
looking as wintry as wool, is luscious next to the skin
and warming when the weather changes suddenly. The
Colinette Silk Tao in fresco reminds me of the first flowers
that open on the foothills in the spring. Starting with a
simple fan-lace pattern from Jan Eaton’s Encyclopedia
of Crochet Techniques (Running Press, 2006), I made an
openwork scarf that looks like spring and still chases the
lingering chill.

Finished Size: 2¾" wide and 59" long, including edging.


Yarn: colinette tao (100% silk; 128 yd [117 m]/1¾ oz [50 g];
): #147 fresco (purple multi), 2 skeins. yarn distributed by
Unique Kolours.
Hook: D/3 (3.25 mm). Adjust hook size if necessary to obtain the
correct gauge.
Notions: yarn needle.
Gauge: 22 dc = 4". Gauge is not critical for this project.
Skill Level: easy.

shades of plaid scarves
Julie Armstrong Holetz
julie ’ s inspiration

I have an experimental, research-based personality. When I get an idea in my


head I have to test it, record it, and photograph it. One day I had the idea of
crocheting a plaid design and felting it. There are several ways to go plaid with
crochet: surface stitching, complicated color changes, and woven mesh. I settled concen tration rating 1 2 3 4
on a mesh pattern with a woven chain. I photographed my swatch before and
after felting. I hated the felted version, so I ditched it. Then, a friend saw the
before photo and said it would make a great scarf. She was right! Voilà, a design
was born.

Using 3 strands at a time, thread one end
of the fringe into ch-1 sp of the same color.
Gather the tail end of the weaving chain and
tie all ends together with an overhand knot to
secure fringe. Follow woven chains for place-
ment of fringe on each side of the scarf. Trim

with self-striping yarn, I inadvertently
crocheted a log-cabin motif. Using two
different sizes of motifs (one half the size

perfectly (and easily) when sewn together.

this cozy scarf are mesmerizing.

Working in Rounds, Version I:
Step 1: Chain the required number of stitches and join with a slip
stitch to form a ring (Figure 1).
Step 2: The pattern will then start reading “rounds” instead of
“rows.” You will work the pattern stitch into each chain stitch as
you would a row, and when you come back to the starting place, a
round has been completed. Join with a slip stitch to the first stitch.
The pattern instructions may tell you to work the new stitches into Figure 1 Figure 2
the ring; this means you work the stitches over the chains instead
of into them (Figure 2).
