Alae Kerchief

Yarn & Hook: Any yarn with matched hook to obtain desired gauge. Sample Size: Dandelion/yellow 80cm by 36cm using a 100% silk lace yarn and 3.0mm hook. Breeze/blue 118cm by 58cm using 2 strands of a silk/mohair blend yarn and 5mm hook. A pair of angelic wings, captured in filet crochet. The Alae Kerchief is a lightweight triangular crochet kerchief featuring a hidden pair of wings worked in classic filet crochet. Delicate enough for everyday wear yet striking when revealed in the light, the motif quietly emerges from the fabric—like wings waiting to unfold. Whether worn as a headscarf, neckerchief, shoulder wrap, or small shawl, Alae is designed to adapt beautifully to different yarns and gauges. A crisp cotton or linen creates a structured kerchief perfect for warmer weather, while airy mohair or brushed fibres transform the same pattern into a soft, ethereal shawl. The pattern includes both a pixel graph and a fully charted crochet diagram, making it approachable even if you're new to filet crochet. Pattern Features: • Hidden angel wing motif in filet crochet • Triangular construction • Crochet chart and pixel graph included • Suitable for adventurous beginners and intermediate crocheters • Easily customizable through yarn and hook choice • Instant PDF download Yarn Suggestions: One of the joys of Alae is seeing how dramatically the fabric changes with different fibres. The samples shown were crocheted in: • Dandelion/yellow – silk lace yarn for a delicate head kerchief • Breeze/blue – mohair/silk lace blend for a larger, airy shawl Feel free to experiment with cotton, linen, baby wool, silk, mohair, or your favourite lace-weight yarn to create your own interpretation of the design. Gauge matters. The two samples shown demonstrate how much the finished size changes with different fibres and hooks. For a headscarf or kerchief, choose a finer lace yarn with a 3 mm hook or smaller. For a larger shawl effect, choose fluffy, airy yarns such as mohair or brushed alpaca with a 5 mm hook or larger. A gauge swatch is highly recommended before beginning.
