Lancet Lace Shawl & Scarf · Crochet Pattern (PDF, Beta)

Gothic tracery in lace mohair. A lancet is the tall, narrow window with a sharply pointed arch of the early Gothic cathedrals, and this set is built from them: a semicircle shawl crocheted from the neck edge outwards like a rose window, and a long scarf whose windows stand upright when it hangs. Every window is a diagonal lattice of chains with a pair of picots on each bar, framed in solid trebles that close into true pointed arches.

BETA PATTERN

The written rows, the charts and the pictures all come from one model, and every written row has been checked stitch by stitch against it, but no sample has been crocheted yet. You get the beta at a lower price, and the tested version will reach you for free through your Payhip download link. Please make both swatches, the trebles and the lattice, and if anything doesn't add up, write to me and I'll fix it.

WHAT YOU GET

• 2 PDFs, in English (US terms) and in Polish, each with the shawl and the scarf

• Every row written out, with stitch counts: 48 rows for the shawl, 61 for each half of the scarf

• 8 symbol charts: the rose (plus its middle drawn larger), both rings of windows and the crown of the shawl, the whole width of the scarf, and the lattice swatch

• A lattice swatch: one window with both frames, written out and charted, so you can check your chains before you start

• Techniques explained: the lattice step by step, fans and clusters, the teeth along the frames, how the window tips close (shawl) and open (scarf), picot pairs

• A schematic and a yarn estimate for each piece

THE SHAWL

A semicircle, about 140 × 70 cm after blocking: a rose of open rings in the middle, a ring of 4 lancet windows, a gallery, a ring of 8 windows and a crown of 32 gables with picots along the edge.

THE SCARF

About 30 × 172 cm after blocking, worked in two identical halves from a chain in the middle, so both ends finish with the same crown of gables. The windows are worked tip first, so they stand upright when the scarf hangs from your neck.

MATERIALS

• Lace-weight mohair-silk, about 210 m per 25 g: shawl about 1000 m (5 balls), scarf about 690 m (4 balls). Estimates for the beta; a smooth lace yarn works too.

• 3.5 mm crochet hook

• Gauge: 20 tr × 7 rows = 10 cm, after blocking, plus a lattice swatch of about 14 × 16 cm

SKILL LEVEL

Advanced: long rows, lattice, fans and clusters.
