This scarf was inspired by the stained glass works of Frank Lloyd Wright. I love the vibrant colors with the black outline; however, it also looks very pretty in pastels or shades of the same color.

Kind regards.
Wow ! I can't wait to make this! I love scarves but this one, you can wear when alot of different outfits.
This is BEAUTIFUL! I'm going to try it right after getting back from Father's Day celebration! Doesn't seem too difficult, either, and it looks like it WOULD be…thanks so much for the pattern…….Have a good day…………..Dianne
Wonderful! For a summer scarf, this could be done with light colors, as you mentioned, and a light/neutral border color. Thank you for sharing!
I read that I can't sell your pattern or use the pictures, but may I sell scarves I make as long as I give you credit for the pattern?
This is beautiful! I love Frank Lloyd Wright designs and this does remind me of his work…well done and a great pattern. Thanks for sharing.
i loved it, can you plese make a video tutorial for that i will highly appreciate it ,,,,
Yes, you may sell scarves that you make, just do not sell or distribute the pattern or use my photos. You can provide a link to my blog if needed. Hope this answers your question. 🙂
Melinda,
I have a great "fishy" idea for this. You could do the scarf in black outlines and using any ocean like color (aqua, turquoise, sea green)and a nice shade of goldfish orange.
1. two rows of ocean color.
2. one row of goldfish orange.
3. one row of ocean color.
4. one row of goldfish orange.
5. two more rows of ocean color.
Complete the scarf use matching aqua and orange beads.Then, go back and make with black yarn french knots or X's where the goldfish eye's would be. This could make a great child's scarf (maybe no beads for little mouths to swallow) or a great gift for someone in a tropical or coastal area.
Love,
Sharon Miller Rosner
ps: These Millers are really smart people!!!!
Hi Sharon – You're idea sounds really cute. If you decide to work it up this way, please email me a photo of it, and I'll post it on my Blog. I'd love to see it! 🙂
I have used this pattern with various shades of purple but am having a problem with the fringe. I don't understand how you attach the loose ends of the beaded fringe to look nice and be secure. Do you have specific suggestions?
Is there a matching hat for this scarf – The Stained Glass? Would like to make matching scaf & hat for Xmas gift. Thanks
Bless you I have been searching for this pattern….I saw it in an afghan and thought it was saved. I want to make an afghan using jewel tones and it will be large at least 70" square or 70"X90". I have used beads and just put them on the yarn first and then crocheted them in place as needed. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Hi, I am a bit of a beginner to crochet and so still getting to grips with all the different wools available. I can't seem to find Caron wool in the UK so I was wondering what type of wool it is please?
Would love to try this pattern as it looks so lovely 🙂
Hi, I'd like to make a blanket out of this pattern, can you tell me what the stitch repeat is?
Here's the formula: Chain a multiple of 12 + 10 (+1 for base chain)
