LACY SCARF

Please note: This little rustic square pattern featured on multiple social media posts during the past few years and although many people have tried to trace the original designer of the pattern they have not been successful. Instagrammers also participated in the global search for the original designer. The pattern has been traced back to an old crochet book published by the media house Allers in Sweden in the early 1980s and to a similar book in Argentina, from about the same period, but there is no mention of the original designer. Anisa crocheted this square from the image that was found on Instagram, and to combine these lovely blocks she found the pattern on the links given at the end of the article. Go and have a look at them and read up a bit more about this mysterious little beauty.
