This pattern is perfect if you have one lonely 50 gram ball of yarn or even less, and you're not quite sure what you want to do with it. It makes quite a lacy scarf which is perfect for a summer's evening or a nice spring day.
The beauty of this scarf is that you can just keep working on until you run out of yarn. I've made quite a short scarf in the past out of just 40 grams of leftover 8ply alpaca yarn from a project and once it's tucked into the loops on the scarf, it gives it a light cowl look (the grey scarf in the photos below).
If you wish for a PDF printout of this pattern then it's available on Ravelry. Just click on the link here to go to it and print it out.
There's also a stitch chart at the end of the post if you find that helpful as well.
One Skein Lacy Scarf
Materials (these are only a guide as you can use any hook that suits the yarn you use)
o
4ply (fingering) yarn – 50 grams

4mm (G) size hook

Needle for sewing ends together
Gauge/Tension
The gauge isn’t important for this pattern as any weight
yarn can be used. The yarn used for the rainbow scarf in the
photos and for this pattern was 50 grams (124 metres) of Noro Silk Garden Lite yarn
(Col 87). The final blocked dimensions
were 145cm x 17cm.
The grey scarf in made out of 8ply pure alpaca wool from the Bendigo Woollen Mill.

Once you either run out of yarn or the scarf is to your
desired length, tie off the yarn and sew in the ends. Block your scarf if you are using natural
fibres.
Notes
Using 8ply yarn?
I would suggest switching up to a 5mm hook if using an 8 ply
yarn. I also wouldn’t use less than
about 40 grams if you are using an 8 ply yarn as the scarf will be too
short. You can also try chaining 25 to
begin with then following the pattern as per instructions, to make the scarf
slightly narrower but longer.

Happy hooking everyone!
