Flamingo Hairpin Lace Crochet Scarf
Birgit Tüchsen
This is a free crochet pattern for a hairpin lace crochet scarf. The hairpin loops are fast to make and the assemblage is also very easy. See the crochet diagram. The beautiful Giotto ribbon yarn from Colinette makes this scarf look very stylish!

Hook 5 mm and 3 mm
Hairpin lace loom
Tapestry needle
Technique Hairpin lace and crochet
Finished size 140 cm – 55 inches long, 10 cm – 4 inches width
For a tutorial on the technique see my hairpin lace tutorial
Pattern
Put the two prongs on your haipin lace loom 10 cm/4 inches apart.
Work hairpin loops on each side with the 5 mm hook until you have used 3/4 of the Giotto skein.
Fold the finished hairpin lace strip in a S curve, so that the endings of the loops face each other. Crochet the loops together by starting from the center of the fold with the 3 mm hook. Use the Mandarin Petit yarn for gathering the loops. (One could also take the remaining Giotto yarn for gathering)
*Crochet 3 chains and work 1 single crochet by gathering 1 loop from each side*. Repeat between ** until the end of the loop strip is reached.
See crochet chart here:
Stitch guide:
The starting and finishing end of the Giotto yarn is used to sew the 2 loop ends together, so the scarf gets a round ending.

Could you kindly clarify or illustrate how an s curve is formed? I can’t figure out how this results in a long neck scarf. Thank you.
Hi Anne,
The scarf is made as one long hairpin lace strip. You bend this strip in the middle, so the loops are facing each other. Then you start crocheting the loops together starting in the middle of the scarf, where you bend the loops. It is very simple.
Hope this helps;-)
That makes total sense. Thank you. I learned hairpin lace as a child and am just strarting to pick it up again. I look forward to making this scarf and to more patterns.
Great! Feel free to contact me again, if you have more questions.
