The pattern includes three different, similarly scaled, lace designs for a scarf.

Pattern Description from Interweave Online Store: “It’s amazingly easy to design a basic lace scarf if you have a good stitch dictionary on hand and understand the mathematics of pattern repeats. Knitted in three vibrant colors of lightweight 100-percent Shetland wool, these scarves are meant to brighten up the gray days of winter and welcome in the blooming flowers of spring.”
