Versailles Scarf
by Tiffany Joy Haworth Versailles is a delicate lace scarf reminiscent of the city's architecture. This is a great scarf for crocheting up a single skein of sock yarn in a semi-solid colorway.
Sizes and Majerials Lisf
Size - (After Blocking) Regular (8.5” x 7') or Skinny (5.5" x 7') Hook(s) - US F/5 (3.75 mm) Yarn - Andey Originals Sock Yarn [Merino, Nylon, 440 yds/100 g skein/ball] or any merino based sock yarn Colors & Approx Yardage - Sorbet, 440 (340) yds Notions - Yarn needle, blocking pins Gauge - 2 OFS and 6 rows (slightly stretched) = 4"/10 cm Skill Level - Intermediate
Netes:
Hook Size - If you tend to have problems with your base chain being too tight, please go up at least one hook size for your base chain. Blocking - I recommend pinning out the center of the scarf as far as the base chain will stretch (as this will likely be the tightest point in your crochet) and then pinning out the rest of the scarf to that width, blocking the rest lengthwise. If you pin lengthwise first your scarf will be longer, but may not reach the stated width. This pattern grows considerably with blocking. Regular size was 7.5" x 5' before blocking and the Skinny size was 5" x 5' before blocking.

Repeat Row 2 - Row 5 from First Half until Second Half is the same length as First Half, making sure to end on Row 5
