Chiq Oh my Stars lace scarf

I love the new Vanna's Sequin from Lion Brand and thinking back to their fashion show in January I was inspired to pair it with Vanna's Glamour for this lace scarf

The top part of this photo is VG and the bottom is VS .. I love the how different but subtle the change is between to 2 yarns! It's like they were meant to be used together!

Supplies:

1 ball Vanna's Glamour

1 ball Vanna's Sequin

** would look awesome in just one 4 ply yarn as well... ***

Size G crochet hook

Stitches used : ch,dc,sc tr, thats it! if you know those give this lace a shot you will be amazed on how quickly it grows!!

Ch 26

Row 1 sc in 2nd ch from your hook, *ch2 , skip 3 ch's ,work 1 dc,ch5,1dc in next ch, ch2, skip 3 ch's 1 sc into the next ch* repeat until the end, turn

Row 2 ( and every even row ) ch 6 dc into first sc, *ch2, sc into 3rd ch on the 5 ch, ch2, work dc,ch5,dc into next sc*repeat until the last dc, ch5,dc instead work a dc,ch2, tr. turn .... This may sound confusing ... however just think this: dc,ch5,dc always goes into the sc's and an sc always goes into the 3rd sc of the 5 sc.

on the left you see the dc,ch2 tr...

Row 3 ( and every odd row ) ch 1 sc into tr, *ch2, dc,ch5,dc into the next sc, ch 2, sc into the 3rd ch of 5 ch,* repeat until end

I did worked this pattern and switched between the 2 yarns every six inches.

Block if desired

Turn and *sl to ch2, ch3,2dc, ch2,3dc. *Turn and repeat * repeat everything in this step 3 more times. Cut thread and weave in ends at the ends of the sides. Bottom of the cross When you get to the last side repeat the * section 2 more times for a total of 4 shells for the bottom and 2 shells for the sides not including the center. On the top of the cross attach yarn and chain 26, skip the first 5 and sl to the first chain. Then I added a tassel.
