Field notes (noun): capturing the magic of the moment without overanalyzing or worrying about perfection

Field Notes scarf is simple, satisfying, and easy to follow. You’ll know the lace pattern by heart after just a few repeats. It’s easy to pick up, effortless to return to, and designed not to add to your mental load.

Bias construction and tapered tips create a sleek look, while an I-cord bind-off on both ends adds a polished finish. The size is fully customisable to suit your yarn and style.

Whether you’re a lace-curious beginner or a seasoned knitter looking for a relaxing project, Field Notes meets you where you are.
