Just the right scarf. It is lacy without being overly frilly and is enough to chase the chill without being hot; it’s the perfect choice for a breezy spring day.
Worked side to side with a repeating pattern.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER: REBECCA VELASQUEZ
ABOUT THE DESIGNER: REBECCA VELASQUEZRebecca Velasquez learned to crochet at a very young age. As an adult, she resumed crocheting to honor the grandmother who taught her how. She quickly fell in love and, following her passion and a desire to build upon it, added knitting and spinning to her repertoire.
With a background that also includes sewing, Rebecca began designing and creating her own style. She has been published in Inside Crochet, Crochet World, and Petite Purls. Moreover, she has created designs for Classic Elite Yarns, Bijou Basin Ranch Yarns, Quince & Co Yarns, Caron Yarns, Webs, & SWTC, as well as being a contributing designer for ‘Simply Crochet’ published by Interweave Press. She is currently working on multiple designs for future print publication in addition to continually creating knitting and crocheting design books of her own.
Rebecca’s designs have a propensity to be classic in structure and silhouette. Her easy way with yarn selection and stitch choices are where her originality shines, appealing to both beginning and advanced crocheters and knitters alike.
Rebecca lives in Houston, Texas with her husband and four children that give her unconditional love, support, and inspiration.
