Hello again, friends! I hope your new year has been treating you well! I’ve been hard at work on several new patterns – some of which I can’t share about just yet, but I promise they will be worth the wait!
Today I’m so excited to share with you my newest pattern in collaboration with Lion Brand Yarn:
The Latticework Scarf
It’s a tubular scarf knit entirely in the round, which means it’s reversible and doubly warm. I used a variegated yarn with a coordinating solid, which I love the look of. I think it gives a little more structure and balance to just a variegated yarn alone.
Both of the yarns used are from Lion Brand. The solid color is Wool-Ease in Navy, and the variegated color is LB Collection Anya Hand-Dyed Superwash Merino Yarn in Trick or Treat. Both are a medium worsted weight yarn.
The Latticework scarf features a very simple 6 round repeat that I think is easy to memorize once you get the hang of it. I’ve included a video tutorial below that walks you through each step, and shows you how to read a colorwork chart if you’re unfamiliar.

For the fringe, cut 4 strands of yarn, 17 in long. Insert a crochet hook through the front and back edge of an end of the scarf (see video). Fold the lengths of yarn in half, hook with the crochet hook and pull partway through the edge stitch. Then, pull the ends of the yarn through the loop. Continue adding fringe to every third edge stitch. Repeat for the opposite end of the scarf. Steam and trim fringe, if desired.

Hi – If I understand correctly, instead of grafting or otherwise joining the ends of the tube together, you connect them with the fringe?
I don’t like fringe, so could I kitchener the bottom, and start the top with a provisional cast-on, instead?
Thanks for any help you can give!

Hi Lynn, Yes that’s exactly right. If you’d prefer not to add fringe, I’d start with a provisional cast on and Kitchener stitch the ends. I hope you enjoy it!
