Cantina Scarf

Cantina Scarf is the yarn-partying sister of [Emdash][1] and [Antoinette][2]. Like Antoinette, this one’s a holiday-inspired design; in silvery colors and beaded picots, the flounces remind me of silver bells.

This is a fast and portable filet crochet project in the Easy skill category. The pattern includes optional intermediate-level skill-building refinements: Special Turn, Centered stitches, and Standing stitches. It naturally lends itself to color changes and scrap amounts of yarn. The beaded option is low-fuss because you only need string on enough beads for one flounce at a time.

After using this pattern you will know (if you didn’t already):

• How to start a new filet stitch row with a neat, even edge.
• How to crochet filet stitches so they stack up in centered columns.
• How to crochet polished-looking super-tall stitches for dramatic effect.
• How to create quick and lovely layered lace flounces.
