An indication of expression and tempo in music, Grazioso is a directive to play smoothly. elegantly and gracefully. This lace scarf, wrap or stole with its flowing linear stitch pattern and structure is knit in one piece using a provisional cast on and is uniquely framed by picots on all sides. A deceptively easy knit, this pattern would make a great travel project for experienced knitters and a good lace project for adventurous beginners!

The Poco size is approximately 375 yds and the dimensions measure 12” x 52”. The green Poco size was knit with Knit Picks Alpaca Cloud in colorway Tidepool. Pics 9 -11 were knit with Strandavarious Merino Lace Weight.

The Mezzo size is approximately 675 yds and the dimensions measure 17.5” x 70” and was knit by Betty Farnham in Buffalo Gold Lux. She won a blue ribbon at the NM State Fair with her Mezzo version!

A suggestion for Grande would be at least 900 yds however the test knitting for this size is still in progress. I will add this information as soon as it is available.

Of course these approximations will vary based on yarn, needles and the number of repeats you choose to do.
