Queen Annes Lace

This picture shows how it should look like, I used a 3mm hook with 6strand DMC

Just for KC and any others who fancy giving this a go.

Yet the pictures in some places are a little blurry but I hope the written instructions will get you past that.

Use a hook suitable to yarn thickness and off we go - oh forgot to say instructions in American Double Crochet


Chain 6 and join to make a circle



Chain 3, then 13 DC into the space in the middle of the circle






DO NOT join your work it needs to be kept open.

Chain 1 then turn your work





Work a SC into next 2 DC. *Chain 4 then 2SC in next 2DC* - repeat until there are 6 loops sitting on top.










Chain 6



TURN work and place hook into tthe nearest 4ch loop





and slip stitch



Chain 3



TURN work



Work 13 DC's again like the first circle





Place hook into the nearest 4ch loop on the first motif and join with a slip stitch





Chain 1 and turn work





Work a SC into next 2 DC. *Chain 4 then 2SC in next 2DC* - repeat until there are 6 loops sitting on top.





Place hook into nearest 4chain in opposite motif





Chain 6



TURN work



Place hook into nearest 4 chain motif



and off you go again from

chain 3 dcx13



You continue to the length that you desire and you can leave it like that.

If you would like to border like the set that I did earlier, once you have reached the length you do 3 posts of DC in each 4ch on the outside of your work, then Chain 4 2dc in the next 2 sts.

This will fill the scarf out and make it chunkier.

As per usual please post if you don't understand this.
