Leaning Ladders Scarf is an original PlanetJune Accessories crochet pattern by June Gilbank.

This beginner-friendly scarf is made of only basic stitches, so it’s fast and fun to crochet. The eye-catching diagonal eyelet stripes look great in any yarn, and the simple background highlights the colours in a variegated or self-striping yarn beautifully. Choose your recipient’s favourite colour and you have a perfect gift for anyone in your life – women, men, or children! 

Yarn: your choice, #3 (DK) or heavier recommended

Hook: an appropriate hook for your yarn (see the yarn’s ball band as a starting point for the hook size, but you may wish to go up a size or two until your fabric isn't too stiff and drapes nicely)

Sample scarf information: Sample scarf used DK weight (#3 light) yarn (235m/260yd Kismet Spice) and an I US/5.5mm hook

Details: Pattern includes full written instructions and charted stitch diagram. The PDF version, available for any size donation, is formatted for easy viewing and printing and includes bonus information (detailed below):

• The PDF also includes the full written pattern for an any-size piece using this stitch pattern, so you can crochet anything from a skinny scarf up to a large rectangular shawl or blanket. 

• The PDF is neatly formatted with one section per page (standard written pattern; stitch diagram with key; any-size pattern) so you can print just the page(s) you need.
