As you all know by now, I love to make feminine items for ladies. If I design a scarf, it has to have an element of loveliness to it, even if the rest of it has simple lines and easy stitches. Josette has a bit of lace at the edges to lend it that element of feminine beauty that makes you feel pretty even if you're wearing it with an old pair of sweat pants and a drab jacket to run a quick errand! It is also very easy, suitable for gift-giving and ideal for charity projects. The scarf was designed in a rich burgundy, a hue that will add a bit of vivid color to any gray, brown, black of navy coat or jacket you might want to wear it with. Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteThis scarf is amazing! I am making one for my SIL for Christmas and I may have to make myself one as well. Thanks for sharing this free pattern!
ReplyDeleteThank you Diane (djuseless), hope your SIL loves it.
ReplyDeleteGreat little gift!
ReplyDeleteIs this pattern written in American terms?
ReplyDeleteIs this lovely pattern written in the American format?
ReplyDeleteThank you for this beautiful pattern. Happy Holidays.
ReplyDeleteI love this and it was so easy. I made one today for my Secret Santa person. I made mine in Soft White. Thank you so much!!
ReplyDeleteHi, just wondering . . . I assume you attach the yarn to the beginning of the scarf to do the lacy rows? I don't see any mention of this. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you all so much! Glad to hear that some of you have made your Josette already! Yes, Nance, you attach the yarn to the opposite side and work the lace as before. It is a very easy yet surprisingly good-looking pattern.
ReplyDeleteThank you for answering my question. This will be my first project for the "New Year". :)
ReplyDeleteYou're most welcome, Nance. Hope your Josette turns out gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI just whipped up a couple using your pattern; pictures are here: http://crochetdabbler.wordpress.com/2013/12/26/ladies-scarf/. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Just visited you and took a look at what you did. I'm so glad you make Josette and enjoyed it. I will post your link again, just in case any of the other ladies would have to take a peek:

This is just an all around beautiful design! I love the lace panels and the color and I love the fact that it's not a big bulky scarf I would have to tuck way into my coat!
ReplyDeleteHello, thanks for participating in what I hope to be a very popular linky. I crocheted this lovely Josette over the holiday break and will post a photo on the blog soon. Thank you for providing such wonder patterns.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely scarf and the colour is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, @Michele Helton-O'Neil I like to design scarves that are feminine and yes, not so bulky that they would be almost a chore to wear or so so long that they will catch on everything as you pass by. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThank you @Saran Duggan for your sweet eancourageing comment. I loved participating in the comment-a-thon. I like to support the efforts of enterprising women in handmade. Wish you success!
ReplyDeleteYes, Sandra Wheeler, I write all of my patterns in American format.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Rhelena. You do wonderful work also.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely accessory! I love how it closes (keyhole) and the colour and lacy look :) Shared on Pinterest :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ronda Moll. I really love the way that this scarflet turned out. The rich color, combined with the cozy warmth around the neck and the feminine, lacy edges makes it a winner as a gift for yourself or for any of your loved ones or friends. It would make a great birthday gift for a friend.
ReplyDeleteI love all these beautiful scarves! I am starting to dabble a little in crochet (I'm more comfortable with knitting) and I think these scarves are the perfect starting point. Stopping by via our new SITS tribe!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty scarf. I've been slowly reteaching myself to crochet. I knew how as a kid, but haven't done much in a lot of years. This would be a fun thing to make when I figure it out again. Stopping by to say "Hi" from our new SITS Tribe.
ReplyDeleteTake care,
KC
These are beautiful :) I really love the color of this one too. Thanks for sharing! Excited to meet new friends in our SITS tribe :)
ReplyDeleteHi Rachel Joyce, glad for your visit! I was just by your site as well. Oh, I would love it if you would make any of my scarf designs for yourself or to give away. Take your pick and enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your visit, MadebyaPrincess. I'm glad that you liked Josette. I also love the rich burgundy color it has, the classic color goes well with just about anything a woman can wear. Also excited to meet new friends in our SITS tribe :)
ReplyDeleteHi KC Coake! Thank you for your visit, I was just over at your site as well. I love that you like Josette, hope you get to make one for yourself. It is quite easy but turns out as a very effective and lovely accessory. Hope you enjoy wearing yours! Glad we're in the same SITS tribe!
ReplyDeleteI LIKE TO MAKE SHAWLS FOR BIBLE STUDIES, SO THIS WILL BE MY NEXT. THANKS.
ReplyDeleteIs it ok to sell items made using your patterns?
ReplyDeleteI love your patterns! Is it OK to sell items made using your patterns?
ReplyDeleteHi, +Nanscrochetnook, I never deny anyone the opportunity to make some income, I consider myself part of a community and I root for everyone in it and try to help everyone that is a part of it, it turns into blessings for me. Sure, you can use the patterns, but I do ask for 3 things: 1- that you will always keep intact the name of the scarf you pick, 2- that you would give Craftybegonia due credit, 3- and if it is in your power, that you would give us good word of mouth. If you are willing to do these things, you can use them without any problems. Happy crocheting!
