Cantina Scarf is the yarn-partying sister of Emdash and Antoinette. Multicolored flounces are fun to crochet. For the holidays, silvery colors and beaded picots remind me of silver bells.

Skill Level: Easy. This is a fast and portable filet crochet project.

The pattern includes optional intermediate-level skill-building refinements: Special Turn, Centered stitches, and Standing stitches.

It naturally lends itself to color changes and scrap amounts of yarn.

The beaded option is low-fuss because you only need string on enough beads for one flounce at a time.

Change your scarf’s width and length using guidelines provided in the pattern.

After using this pattern you will know (if you didn’t already):

• How to start a new filet stitch row with a neat, even edge.
• How to crochet filet stitches so they stack up in centered columns.
• How to crochet polished-looking super-tall stitches for dramatic effect.
• How to create quick and lovely layered lace flounces.

About the Yarn: DesigningVashti Lotus Snacks are smaller balls (85 yds/77.7 m per 1.16 oz/33 g ball) of our regular Lotus yarn.

• For the 3-color “Silver Bells” version, I used 1 Snack ball each of Satin Grey (MC), Crystal Blue, and White Blaze.
• For the 13-color rainbow version, 20 yds/18.3 m (7.7g, or ¼ of one Snack ball) per color. To substitute a different yarn, choose a #2 Fine Weight yarn with a recommended crochet hook size range of US E/4 {3.5 mm} to US G/6 {4.0 mm}. These yarns may be called Sport or Heavy Sock {Light DK, 5-Ply}.

Seed beads, optional: 15 beads per flounce (i.e., per 4”/10cm of scarf length). I used jumbo size 1/0. If you change the width of your scarf, the number of beads per flounce will change.
