I am so excited to share this pattern for my Crocheted Vintage Rose Lace Scarf! I love how this turned out. This pattern works up quite quickly because of the open fan stitch. The yarn I used for this pattern was a thrift store find, and I absolutely love the color, so I can’t give a link to this specific yarn. I do give some suggestions for similar yarns in the supply list below.
I generally do beginner-friendly patterns, but this pattern is more advanced, so I don’t recommend it if you are just starting out. I have lots of patterns for beginners and I also have my Beginner Crochet Series.
The Crocheted Vintage Rose Lace Scarf measures 6.5″ by 64″ (50″ of the length is the pattern and 14″ are the tassels). I wanted this as an accent scarf and didn’t want to wrap it around my neck, so I made it shorter than usual. You can make the body of the scarf any length you like and the same with the tassels. It even looks nice without tassels. The yardage supplied for this pattern is based on the size I made, which is 110 rows. If you want to make it longer, add about 4.75 yards per additional 2 rows.
Supply List

- 2mm (B) to 2.5mm (C) crochet hook

This Crocheted Vintage Rose Lace Scarf pattern is a 4-row repeat and I don’t usually make charts, but I found this pattern hard to remember (especially the row 2 and 4 repeats…I kept getting them mixed up), so I drew this chart for myself. I thought I might as well share it here in case some of you have as much brain fog as I do! It is not downloadable, but you are welcome to right-click and save the picture for your convenience. I colored each row… the foundation chain is brown, row 1 is green, row 2 is red, row 3 is yellow, and row 4 is blue.
This pattern has a multiple of 10 plus 7, so your foundation chain can be 37, 47, 57, or whatever you like, depending on how wide you want to make the scarf. This Vintage Rose Lace Scarf is made with a foundation chain of 47 chains. The video tutorial and images below are made with a foundation chain of 27 chains and with a number 4 medium-weight yarn so the stitches are easier to see.
Row one: ch 47, 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook, *ch 1, sk 4ch, [1 trc, ch 2, 4 times, 1 trc, ch 1] in the next (5th) ch1 sp, sk 4ch, 1 sc, ch 1 in next (5th) ch1 sp. Repeat from * until 3 ch left. [1 trc, ch 2, twice, 1 trc] in the last ch, turn your work.
Row two: ch 1, 1 sc in the first trc, *ch 3, sk the next ch2 sp, 1 dc in next ch2 sp, ch 2, sk the next ch1 sp, sc, and ch1 sp (to the 2nd sp of the next fan), 1 dc in the next ch2 sp, ch 3, sk next ch2 sp, 1 sc in the top of the middle trc of fan. Repeat from * to the last dc in 2nd to last ch2 sp of the last fan, ch 1, 1 trc in sc from the previous row, turn your work.
Row three: ch 6 (counts as a trc, ch2), [1 trc, ch 2, 1 trc, ch 1] in 1st ch1 sp, sk ch3 sp, 1 sc, ch 1 in next sc, *sk next ch3 sp and dc, [1 trc, ch 2, 4 times, 1 trc, ch 1] in next ch2 sp, sk dc and next ch3 sp, 1 sc, ch 1 in next sc. Repeat from * to the end of the row, turn your work.
Note: ch1 from the last stitch will actually be the 1st ch of the next row.
Row four: ch 5 (total is ch 6, including ch1 from the end of row 3), sk ch1 sp, *1 dc in next ch2 sp, ch 3, sk the next ch2 sp, 1 sc in the top of the middle trc of the fan, ch 3, sk the next ch2 sp, 1 dc in next ch2 sp, ch 2, sk the next ch1 sp, sc, and ch1 sp (to the 2nd sp of the next fan). Repeat from * to the last half of the fan, 1 dc in the next ch2 sp, ch 3, 1 sc in the 4th ch of beg ch 6 from the previous row, and turn your work.
Row five: ch 1, 1 sc in sc from previous row, ch 1, *sk ch3 sp, [1 trc, ch 2, 4 times, 1 trc, ch 1] in next ch2 sp, sk next ch3 sp, 1 sc, ch 1 in next sc. Repeat from * to last sc of row, sk next ch3 sp, [1 trc, ch 2, twice, 1 trc] in last ch6 sp, turn your work.
Row six: Repeat row 2
For the rest of the Crocheted Vintage Rose Lace Scarf pattern, repeat rows 2 through 5 until you have the scarf to the length you desire. My scarf was a total of 110 rows, with the body being 50 inches in length. If you want to wrap the scarf around your neck, then you would want to add at least another 12 to 16 inches. Finish with a row 2 or row 4 repeat (the straight rows) and fasten off. Add tassels if desired…I made 3 strands 16 inches long (using an 8-inch jig) and placed them in every third stitch. Once trimmed, they finished at 7 inches on each side, so my scarf was a total of 64 inches in length and 6 inches in width.
I’m not showing how to do tassels in this tutorial, but you can check out the tutorial below for my “Simple Crochet Scarf for Beginners” to see how to make them. It starts at 16:00 in the video and I will show all the steps required to measure, calculate, make, and attach tassels. Enjoy!
