Cloudy Day Lace Scarf – Free Crochet Pattern

When I stumbled across this new Red Heart Roll With It: Tweed yarn, I just couldn’t pass it up. I jumped right for the neutral tones in “Cloudy Day” and had an idea for a lacy scarf crochet pattern with a fringe that I thought would work perfectly with this yarn.

This free lacy scarf crochet pattern is long enough to be wrapped around your neck not just once, but twice! It is super versatile: light enough to be worn in the fall, but when wrapped twice, heavy enough to keep you warm in the winter.

I would classify this lacy scarf crochet pattern as “advanced beginner”.

I hope you enjoy this free crochet pattern available here on my blog! An ad-free, formatted PDF version of this crochet pattern is also available for purchase here:
