Royalty Scarf—A Lace Weight Yarn Crochet Scarf Pattern

I’m so excited to share with you guys a new free pattern—Royalty Scarf! If you’re looking for a lace weight yarn crochet scarf pattern, this is just what you need!

I have always loved crochet lace. The royalty scarf is a spin on classic pineapple lace. It uses shell stitches and large chain spaces to create a beautiful lacy effect!

Crochet With Lace Weight Yarn (Easily!)

Now, let’s talk yarn. Royalty is made out of lace weight yarn—but don’t let that scare you off! For a long time I didn’t use lace weight because I associated it with the icky cotton and tiny hooks used for doilies. That is definitely not what I used for this scarf.

For this scarf, I selected Knit Picks Gloss Lace. If you’ve never used lace weight made out of wool, you’re in for a treat! This is an absolutely gorgeous yarn!

It is not that expensive, and plus it is soft and full of drape. Also, don’t worry, this pattern does not call for one of those tiny hooks. I hate it when you can’t even see the hook you’re using! This scarf uses an F/3.75mm hook, which actually allows the lace weight yarn to have a lovely drape.

Even better, you can make this scarf in only one hank of Gloss Lace! Despite the lace yarn, it works up pretty fast.

Is this a “Fine lace crochet pattern?”

That probably depends on what you think of when you hear the phrase “fine lace.”

Personally, when I hear the phrase I think of two things: fancy, and very thin yarn.

We’ve already discussed the lace weight yarn…but here’s what I want you to know about fancy:

While this scarf does LOOK fancy, it’s not hard to crochet at all!

We will only use only basic stitches—chains, single crochet, double crochet, and shells.
