Broomstick Lace Ruffled Scarf
You will enjoy this broomstick crochet scarf,, not only because it has a nice lace, but also because the ruffles add a gorgeous touch to the already beautiful broomstick stitch.
This broomstick lace ruffled scarf is styling enough to go with just about any outfit in your closet. At first glance it may look hard, but if you are familiar with broomstick lace crochet then you will find this a breeze to follow. Plus, it allows for mindless crocheting once you get going. The scarf is worked lengthwise with an increase in stitches in each row. Then for the last row, a very simple edging is done.
Broomstick lace is very simple to do, but you should know the basics of crocheting before attempting the stitch. Broomstick lace crochet consists of 2 types of rows; a crochet row and a loop row, and both are worked from the same side. Click here for a tutorial on how to do broomstick lace crochet.

Hi, I don’t know how to crochet and would like to make a knitted version this scarf using knitted broomstick lace.
I really just need to know the number of times you double your stitches and how many “sets” of broomsticks are in your pattern. Can you help me?
Usually, knitted spiral scarves begin with 90 stitches and doubles the number of stitches 3 times so that you have 720 stitches when you complete the scarf.
I cannot read the crochet pattern to know how many stitch increases are in your pattern, nor the number of sets of broomsticks are in your scarf.
Never thought you could do this with knitting but that’s so cool. :) You could easily follow the pattern you described. I started off with 115 loops on the first row. In Rows 2 and 4, I worked 6 dc around every 3 loops. Then for row 6 I did 5 dc around every 3 loops. Hope that helps. :)
Thanks for your reply. I am going to work it out because I’m determined to make this. I think my fingers are going to be part of this discussion because they will be doing part of the thinking.
Okay sounds good. Hope it works out good for you. :)
