Pattern Notes:

• You can adjust the width by changing the initial chains in multiples of [specific multiple for the pattern you select or create].

Core Pattern (Generic Version):

Starting Chain:

Chain a multiple of 10 + 1 for foundation.

Row 1:

• Start with a dc in the 4th ch from the hook, [ch 1, skip 1 ch, dc in the next] repeat to end. Turn.

Row 2 – Row X:

Build the base of the scarf by alternating rows of DC and chain spaces, adjusting to your preference for tightness and the appearance of the lace. These rows will create the main body of your scarf without the border. Proceed until you have achieved your desired length minus the border.

Pineapple Border:

Now, for a simplified pineapple motif that you can adapt to border your scarf.

Start of Pineapple (Make this at both scarf ends):

1. Setup Row: At the end of the last row of the scarf body, turn to work along the side. Space out ch 5, skip approx 2 rows, sc in the side of the next row, and repeat along the side. This will set the foundation for your pineapples.
2. Pineapple Row 1: Ch 3 (counts as first dc), 7 dc in the first ch-5 space. Sc in the next ch-5 space, 8 dc in the next ch-5 space repeat to end.
3. Pineapple Row 2: Ch 3, turn, dc in each of the next 7 dc, ch 1, skip the sc, repeat to end.
4. Continue developing the pineapple motif with decreasing stitches in each ch-1 space row by row. Typically, a pineapple motif is reduced by two DCs on every other row, with chain spaces in between to form the open lace.
5. Final Row of Pineapples: The final row of each pineapple typically consists of a series of chained picots to create a pointed edge.

Repeat these steps for the border on the other side of the scarf to match.

Finishing Touches:

Weave in all ends with a yarn needle. Block your scarf to the desired dimensions to reveal the lace and pineapple motifs fully.
