I've been itching to try something using crochet thread for a while now. After getting my hands on some thread I decided to make a scarf.
It took a little while for my fingers to adjust to the difference--both to the size and weight of the thread and of the hook. Once I got the hang of it I made progress--slow progress. Like I said before, it felt like it took forever! I used my (current) favorite stitch pattern--the same one I used when making my Shades of Green Belt. This pattern really looks different on these projects, doesn't it!? I just kept going until my ball of thread ran out.I think it turned out pretty well. This Lacy Crochet Thread Scarf has a sort of Victorian elegance to it. It is so light an airy it could be worn anytime--the dead of winter with a sweater or the hottest day of summer with a sundress and pretty much everything in between. The off-white color can compliment a huge assortment of colors. It could be worn to a dressy event or everyday with jeans and a top. (All this is my humble opinion, of course!)
I see more crochet thread projects in my future!
Check out these awesome places I like to party!
I also added this to Hookin on Hump Day.

Thank you! :-)
DeleteVery pretty! I bought white crochet thread for a project that fizzled out and I've been wondering what to do with it since then! I think some pretty beads added to this will look fantastic! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I like the idea of adding beads. I've yet to do that on a crochet project. If you take pictures of your project I'd love to see them!
Deletecute! this looks like it took a A TON of time to make!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! Your scarf looks so delicate and feminine. I'd love for you to link up with Crafty Cousins.

It's so beautiful! I love it. I really need to figure out how to crochet. I know one stich, which my sister taught me but can't for the life of me figure out how to start a project or how to read a crochet pattern.. . I may be hopless.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I doubt you're hopeless. :-) There are some awesome tutorials on youtube, and a lot of other bloggers do a great job of photographing every step.
DeleteVery pretty! It looks so much more delicate than a wintery scarf.
ReplyDeleteThis looks really nice. I like the stitch. I shy away from crocheting long projects with thread, because it takes so long. Maybe I could try, if I had another project going at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yeah, I try to only have one project going at a time. (Most of the time this doesn't work!) But this time I NEEDED "side" projects!
DeleteWhat a beautiful scarf! I'm also itching to try crocheting with crochet thread, but I'd like to make a doily
ReplyDeleteThis is so very pretty. Thanks so much for sharing at Terrific Tuesdays.

So pretty!! It really does have an elegant Victorian feel to it. I love it! Thanks for sharing at my party! Have a great weekend :)
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteGreat scarf! Very pretty and, you're right, very versatile!
Did you do a chain to start with? I can't tell from the pictures. To me it looks like (my eyes aren't what they used to be! :-D) as if you possibly made the chain and then when the scarf was as wide as you wanted it, turned back/forward and shelled on the other side of the chain. Am I close or am I so far offf I may never find my way back?
Thanks,
Cathy
Hi, Cathy! Well, I started with a short chain--just the width of the scarf--and then worked the length basically until I ran out of thread. I prefer working my scarves this way. I link to the stitch pattern up above, that might give you some visual help. (2nd paragraph "stitch pattern")Does that help?
DeleteHi Rachel,
DeleteThanks for answering my comment. Sorry for the delay!
Yes, it does help!
Thanks for linking up at Etcetorize last week! I love your project so much that I'm featuring it at tonight's party. It's just so pretty! I hope you'll stop by to grab a featured button and link up again~
ReplyDeleteSo cute!!!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI've wanted to try crochet thread. I love how yours came out. I'd love for you to link up to my Swing into Spring party that opens tonight at 8pm EST. Hope to see you there.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, Rachel! I could see how this would take forever. It's so intricate and detailed. But, man, it has great results! Thanks for sharing at Hookin On Hump Day!
