Easy Lacy Shells Scarf Pattern
This easy scarf is a variation of my lacy lapghan pattern, which I had added to this site in 1998. This scarf is pretty in a variegated or ombre yarn, as shown in the photos below. This is a good project for beginners who have learned how to do the double crochet stitch. I have included extra photos (and links to even more photos) to help with parts of the pattern that a beginning crocheter might have questions about.
Printing This Page: I've had requests for help for printing the patterns from this site. After clicking on File at the top of your Internet browser, you can choose Print Preview to see ahead of time what part of the page is going to print for you. With many newer printers, this gives you a printing page with no ads included. But if your printer only shows the ad at the top of the page when you try to print, try clicking somewhere on a blank area of the center portion of the page (the pattern portion), then click on File at the top of your Internet browser and choose Print. Having clicked on the pattern part of the page first tells your printer what part of the page you want to print. If there is a selection showing such as "Print Selected Frame Only" in the printer box that pops up, choose that option.
Finished size shown in the example above: about 2 3/4" wide x 44" long Gauge: a group of 3 dc stitches = 3/4" wide; 2 pattern repeat rows (rows 3 and 4) = 1"

If desired, add fringe to the ends. The following link gives instructions and a photo showing how to add fringe to a scarf: http://crochet.about.com/od/clothingforwomen/ss/swskscarf_4.htm My wider version of this scarf is at http://crochet.about.com/library/weekly/aa031106.htm
