Rosalie Hale Scarf (Crochet Version)
*** 12/14/08 EDIT: Updates have been added below.
12/12/08 EDIT: Due to the less-stretchy nature of crochet, I need to add rows to the ends that are stitched together at finishing to create a flat edge where the two halves of the scarf are joined. Updated instructions will be posted this weekend.***
This is a crochet version of my Twilight-inspired Rosalie Hale knit scarf pattern.

Rosalie Hale Scarf (Crochet version)
Please read all pattern instructions before beginning. Scarf is worked in two halves which are then joined together in a seam.
I recommend sport weight yarn because crochet is bulkier than knitting. To create a crochet scarf that closely resembles the knitted version, a lighter yarn is a good idea. For a thicker/wider scarf, use worsted weight yarn and an H hook.
Materials: Two (2) balls Bernat Softee Baby, or any sport/DK weight yarn.
Crochet hook: US size G/ 6 (4 mm)
Tapestry or yarn needle for joining two halves (you can also join using a crochet hook).
Begin (make two):
Ch 49.
Row 1: In 3rd and 4th ch from hook, dc2tog, *dc in next 8 sts, 3 dc in next st, 3 dc in next st, dc in next 8 sts, dc3tog,* dc3tog.
Repeat once from * to *. Ch 2, turn.
Row 2: Dc2tog (throughout pattern, skip the last dc you made in previous row), *dc in next 7 sts, ch 1, sk 1 st, 3dc in next st, 3dc in next st, ch 1, sk 1 st, dc in next 7 sts, dc3tog* dc3tog. Repeat once from * to *. Ch2, turn.
Row 3: Dc2tog, *dc in next 6 sts, ch 1, sk 1 st, dc in next st, 3dc in next st, 3dc in next st, dc in next st, ch 1, sk 1 st, dc in next 6 sts, dc3tog*, dc3tog
Repeat once from * to * , dc3tog. Ch 2, turn.
Row 4: Dc2tog, *dc in next 5 sts, ch 1, sk 1 st, dc in next 2 sts, 3 dc in next st, 3 dc in next st, dc in next 2 sts, ch 1, sk 1 st, dc in next 5 sts, dc3tog*, dc3tog
Repeat once from * to *. Ch 2, turn.
Row 5: Dc2tog, *dc in next 4 sts, ch 1, sk 1 st, dc in next 3 sts, 3 dc in next st, 3 dc in next st, dc in next 3 sts, ch 1, sk 1 st, dc in next 4 sts, dc3tog*, dc3tog
Repeat once from * to *. Ch 2, turn.
Row 6: Dc2tog, *dc in next 3 sts, ch 1, sk 1 st, dc in next 4 sts, 3 dc in next st, 3 dc in next st, dc in next 4 sts, ch 1, sk 1 st, dc in next 3 sts, dc3tog*, dc 3 tog.
Repeat once from * to *. Ch 2, turn.
Row 7: dc2 tog, *dc in next 2 sts, ch 1, sk 1 st, dc in next 5 sts, 3 dc in next st, 3 dc in next st, dc in next 5 sts, ch 1, sk 1 st, dc in next 2 sts, dc3tog*, dc 3 tog.
Repeat once from * to *. Ch 2, turn.
Repeat rows 1 through 7 twelve more times (13 total) or to length desired.
FINISHING ROWS (after desired # of pattern repeats are done, these last two rows 'flatten' the end for easier stitching):
Row 8: Tc2tog, *tc in next 2 sts, dc in next 2 sts, hdc in next 2 sts, sc in next 6 sts, hdc in next 2 sts, dc in next 2 sts, tc in next 2 sts, tc3tog * , tc3tog.
Repeat once from * to *. Ch 3, turn.
Row 9: Tc2 tog * dc, hdc in next 2 sts, sc, sl st in next 6 sts, sc, hdc in next 2 sts, dc, tc3tog *, tc3tog.
Repeat once from * to *. Fasten off, leaving enough yarn to stitch halves together.
Repeat to make two halves of scarf. Sew halves together. If you need help with sewing techniques for joining crocheted pieces, here is a useful link: http://crochet.about.com/library/weekly/aa010999.htm
Finishing: Single crochet loosely around scarf edge for added stability. Weave in all ends and block scarf. For a lace scarf, it’s good to block it to prevent curling and define your stitch pattern. If you use an acrylic yarn like me, you can steam-block your scarf. I recommend this so your scarf will drape nicely and open the stitches to show off your work. Rain’s Knit-Bits has great acrylic blocking instructions here: http://rainyknits.blogspot.com/2006/08/blocking-acrylic.html
Now you’re done: wear it and be gorgeous!
If you need stitch definitions/help, there are many resources online. This site shows a list of definitions and how some stitches are made:

Please let me know if you make one; I would love to see pictures of your results.
