Here’s a pattern for an easy, one-skein scarf. I used Caron Simply Soft, but any yarn that gives good stitch definition will work. The patterns hasn’t been tested, so if you find a mistake, drop me a note so I can make corrections. Enjoy.
Supplies: 165 yds. Sport weight yarn, Size J hook
Ch 182.
Row 1] Working in front loops across, sc in 2nd ch and in each ch across. Ch 3, turn.
Row 2] In front lps, dc in ea sc across. Ch 1, turn.
Row 3] In front lps, sc in ea dc across. Ch 3, turn.
Row 4] Dc in next sc, [ch 2, sk 1 sc, sc in next sc, ch 2, sk 1 sc, dc in next 2 sc] across. Ch 1, turn.
Row 5] Sc in next sc, [ch 4, sc in next 2 dc] across. Ch 3, turn.
Row 6] Dc in next sc, [ch 1, sc in ch-4 lp, ch 1, dc in next 2 sc] across. Ch 1, turn.
Row 7] Sc in ea sc and ch-1 sp across. Ch 3, turn.
Row 8] In front lps, dc in ea sc across. Ch 1, turn.
Row 9] In front lps, sc in ea dc across. Tie off, weave in ends.
The projects I most admire in knitting are the delicate scarves and wraps worked in lace and fingering weight yarns. Sadly, there aren’t many comparable patterns in crochet. I’m not sure why that is but, hopefully, more crocheters will be inspired to experiment with designs in these lighter-weight yarns.
Materials used: size H hook, approximately 440 yds. Knit Picks’ Shadow.
Finished size: approximately 4 1/2″ x 57″.
[ETA: I used the lace weight yarn doubled for this project. You could substitute with 220 yds. of fingering weight yarn instead.]

Row 1) 2 dc in 4th ch from the hook, ch 1, sk 2 ch, sc in next ch, (ch 2, sk 2 ch, 3 dc in next ch, ch 1, sk 2 chs, sc in next ch) 3 times, ending with sc in last ch. Ch 3, turn.
Row 2) 2 dc in same st as turning ch, ch 1, sk 2 dc, sc in next dc, (ch 2, 3 dc in next sc, ch 2, sk 2 dc, sc in next dc) 3 times, ending with sc in top of turning ch. Ch 3, turn.
Row 3) 2 dc in same stitch as turning ch, ch 1, sk 2 dc, sc in next dc, (ch 2, 3 dc in next sc, ch 1, sk 2 dc, sc in next dc) 3 times, ending with sc in top of turning ch.
