Materials Needed
Before you begin, gather the following supplies to ensure a smooth crafting experience:
- Yarn: Worsted weight cotton yarn (e.g., Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton) in Sage Green and Cream – 1 skein each
- Hook: 5.0 mm (H-8) crochet hook
- Gauge: 14 dc x 8 rows = 4 inches in lattice pattern (for reference, not critical for this project)
- Extras: Yarn needle for weaving in ends, scissors
Step-by-Step Instructions
This head scarf is worked flat in two panels and then joined at the center back. The lattice stitch creates a beautiful open weave that drapes elegantly. Follow along carefully, and you'll have a stunning accessory in no time.
Abbreviations
ch = chain, dc = double crochet, sk = skip, st = stitch, sl st = slip stitch, sc = single crochet
Panel 1 (Sage Green)
Row 1: Ch 26. Dc in 4th ch from hook (counts as first dc), *ch 1, sk 1 ch, dc in next ch* repeat from * to * across. (You will have 12 dc and 11 ch-1 spaces)
Row 2: Ch 3 (counts as dc), turn. *Dc in next ch-1 space, ch 1* repeat from * to * across, ending with dc in top of turning ch. (12 dc, 11 ch-1 spaces)
Row 3: Ch 3, turn. *Dc in next ch-1 space, ch 1* repeat from * to * across, ending with dc in top of turning ch.
Rows 4-20: Repeat Row 3. Fasten off and weave in ends.
Pro Tip: When working into the ch-1 spaces, insert your hook under the entire chain loop, not just the front or back loop. This ensures a clean, uniform lattice pattern.
Panel 2 (Cream)
Work exactly as Panel 1, but with Cream yarn. Complete Rows 1-20, fasten off, and weave in ends.
Joining the Panels
Place the two panels wrong sides together (the right sides should be facing outward). With Cream yarn, sl st through both layers along the short edge to join. Repeat on the other short edge. This creates the center back seam of your head scarf.
Edging
Round 1: With right side facing, attach Sage Green yarn to one corner of the long edge. Sc evenly along the entire long edge, working 2 sc in each corner. At the end, ch 1, turn.
Round 2: Sc in each sc across. Fasten off.
Repeat the edging process on the other long edge of the scarf.
Ties
Cut 6 strands of Cream yarn, each 24 inches long. Fold the bundle in half. Insert the folded end through the corner of one short edge, pull the loose ends through the loop, and tighten. Repeat on the other corner. Braid or leave loose as desired.
Customization Idea: For a more secure fit, you can braid the ties on each side. Simply divide the 6 strands into 3 groups of 2, braid them together, and tie a knot at the end. This adds a polished, finished look.
Final Thoughts
Your Meadow Breeze Lattice Crochet Head Scarf is now complete! The airy, open weave makes it perfect for warm weather, while the earthy sage and cream colors complement any wardrobe. Wear it as a stylish hair wrap for beach days, music festivals, or simply to add a boho touch to your everyday look.
