A few weeks ago, I picked up some lovely 'fancy yarn' from the middle aisles in Aldi, without really having a plan for it. I eventually decided it would make a cute scarf so had a quick browse on Pinterest (as you do...). I found a few I quite liked, although none of them were exactly what I was looking for, so I amalgamated a couple of the patterns to come up with my own.
These are really easy to make and only use most of one 50g (130m) ball of wool/yarn. The large crochet hook means they look lovely and lacy, but come together really quickly - easily doable in an afternoon, and ideal Christmas presents!
Pattern (I have used US crochet terms - UK crochet terms are in square brackets)

10mm (P-size) crochet hook
Ch 100
Row 1: sc [dc] in the second ch from the hook (1 sc [dc] in each ch) to the end. ch 2 and turn
Row 2 - 5: (1 sc [dc] in each sc [dc]) to the end. ch 2 and turn
Row 6: (2 dc [tr] in each sc [dc]) to the end. ch 2 and turn
Row 7: (2 dc [tr] in each dc [tr]) to the end. Fasten off and weave in all yarn ends
