This lace crochet scarf ends the same way it began, in one small corner. Part 3 decreases on both edges, so the long middle from Part 2 slowly turns into the end triangle.
It’s the shortest part of the Zarina Scarf, with 28 rows. You’ll work one last band of flowers, a few rows of mesh and a solid triangle that closes with just 3 stitches.
Then blocking turns your bumpy strip into a smooth scarf, with every flower open and flat.
Zarina Diagonal Scarf free pattern in 3 parts
- Part 1, Rows 1 to 28, the starting triangle
- Part 2, Rows 29 to 52, the long middle section
- Part 3, Rows 1b to 27b, the end triangle (you’re here)

The Next Row joins Part 2 and Part 3
Before Row 1b there’s one extra row, called the Next Row. It looks almost the same as Row 40 in Part 2, but it ends with a dc in the last 2 stitches instead of an increase.
That small change stops the growing edge. From Row 1b on, both edges of your lace crochet scarf get shorter.
How the lace crochet scarf closes on both edges
Every row in Part 3 starts with DEC2 and ends with DEC1. You know both stitches from Part 2, and now they meet in the same row.
So the lace crochet scarf gets narrower from both sides at once, and the end triangle mirrors the one from Part 1. Lay the scarf flat when you’re done, and both ends come to a point.
The last band of lace flowers
Rows 1b to 3b close the flowers you started at the end of Part 2. After a few rows of mesh, Rows 10b to 15b make one more band, this time with only three flowers, because the scarf is getting narrower.
After Row 17b the lace stops. Rows 18b to 26b are plain double crochet, and they go fast, because every row is shorter than the one before.
Finish and block your lace crochet scarf
Row 27b closes the last corner with just 3 stitches. Fasten off and weave in the ends, and since the whole scarf comes from one cake, you may only have two.
Blocking makes a huge difference on lace. I wet block my Zarina, so the lace opens up and the flowers lie flat.
Soak the scarf, gently press out the water and pin it flat to about 15.75 by 76 inches. Leave it pinned until it’s completely dry.

Lace crochet scarf FAQ
What if the edges of my lace crochet scarf don’t meet in the last corner?
Check your stitch counts after each row of Part 3. If they match the pattern, the last corner closes on its own in Row 27b.
Why is my scarf shorter than 76 inches?
Lace grows when you block it, so measure only after blocking. If it’s still short, your gauge is probably tighter, so try a bigger hook or add a repeat in Part 2 next time.
Can I start Part 3 after fewer repeats of Part 2?
Yes, as long as you stop after a Row 39. The Next Row of Part 3 always follows Row 39.
