Firstly, you will need to know how to make broomstick lace. I have a tutorial for that here: http://speckless.wordpress.com/2012/02/12/broomstick-lace-tutorial/ Also, I used this pin for my lace loops: https://www.etsy.com/listing/96307237/broomstick-lace-pin
I have a pattern chart for the repeat here, too.
With a 4mm hook, chain 31.
1) Sc in second ch from hook and each remaining chain. (30 sc)
2) Pull up a broomstick lace loop (BL loop) in each sc. (30 BL loops)
3) Work in groups of 6 BL loops. Make 6 sc in each group of 6 BL loops. (30 sc)
4) Ch 1, turn. Sc in first st, ch 5, sk next 4 sts. *Sc next 2 sts together, ch 5, sk next 4 sts. Repeat from * 2 more times (5 sts remain). Sc in last st. (5 ch5 spaces, 2 sc, 4 sc 2 tog)
5) Turn (do not ch 1 first). Sl st in first ch5 space, ch 1. make 6 sc in ch5 space. Make 6 sc in each remaining ch5 space to end, skipping over scs. (30 sc)
6) Pull up a broomstick lace loop (BL loop) in each sc. (30 BL loops)
7) Work in groups of 3 BL loops. Make 3 sc in each group of 3 BL loops. (30 sc)
8) Ch 1, turn. Sc in first st, ch 5, sk next 4 sts. *Sc next 2 sts together, ch 5, sk next 4 sts. Repeat from * 2 more times (5 sts remain). Sc in last st. (5 ch5 spaces, 2 sc, 4 sc 2 tog)
9) Turn (do not ch 1 first). Sl st in first ch5 space, ch 1. make 6 sc in ch5 space. Make 6 sc in each remaining ch5 space to end, skipping over scs. (30 sc)
Repeat rows 2 – 9 twelve more times (or as many as you’d like to get your desired length).
When you are at your desired length, cut yarn, leaving a long length for sewing (about 16 inches). Finish off. Weave in the yarn tail from the first row. Without twisting the scarf, bring the two ends together. Using the long yarn tail, whip stitch the two ends together evenly, working under both loops of the “v” in the scs. When you reach the end, secure yarn with a small knot and weave in the excess.
