Tressa Crochet Pattern Download

Description

Romantic and delicate, the Tressa scarf is the perfect accessory to showcase your most beloved ribbon yarn. Ribbon yarns hold a dear place in my heart. I love the look of the yarn, but the texture is mostly lost when you stitch (knit or crochet) with it, so I thought hairpin lace! Hairpin lace is the perfect expression for this soft and silky ribbon yarn because the pattern highlights the lovely texture. The chevron shaping I used for joining the strips may seem cumbersome at first, but once you get the hang of it you will be delighted with the results!
