This pretty headscarf uses simple chains and shells arranged in a specific manner to achieve this lacy cross-over look; and is finished with slip stitched chains used to tie off. I chose a light weight bamboo yarn because of it`s elegant silky touch and drape, along with the fact that bamboo is an anti-microbial and moisture wicking fiber; (not to mention highly sustainable) an obvious choice for a summer garment!   Designed By:  Farrah Hodgson aka Firene Skill Level:  Easy Size: Adult Head, Adjustable Materials:  Knitca Lovely Bamboo, 0001 White, Light Weight (3); 1-ball; 50g/1.7oz, 95m/104yds Crochet hook 3.5mm (E-4) Stitches Used: Ch(s) =Chain(s); Sc =Single Crochet; Dc =Double Crochet; Sl St =Slip Stitch; St (s)=Stitch(es) Special Terms Used: Shell= (2dc-ch2-2dc) in same space.

Fiber arts such as Crochet and Knitting are most often thought of as winter time activities, but there are tons of amazing summer style patterns out there.  Most warm weather patterns use a light weight yarn, which requires a smaller hook; resulting in a lot more time to make the finished item.  But don't worry because you CAN create some awesome crochet things AND save time! There's no limit to what you create with crochet.   This includes beautiful garments and accessories which combine crocheting and sewing with fabric.   (Note: This article contains free patterns) Crochet can look really exquisite as the highlight of a garment.  Think of a dress that uses crochet as the bodice and flows into a beautiful fabric drape!
