Jessica is an easy to knit scarf design, ideal for confident beginners and those new to lace knitting.

It can be made from a single 100g/400m skein of any of our standard 4-ply yarns and is easily adjustable in both width and length. It could also be knitted in finer yarns if preferred. The finished size of the sample scarf was 20cm (8 inches) wide by 200cm (79 inches) long.

The original was knitted in our Falklands Merino Silk 4-ply in Poppy in Pink. I worked to a blocked tension/gauge over one repeat of the lace pattern of 12 sts to 6cm and 12 rows to 5cm on 4.00mm needles.

It starts from the centre with a provisional cast on and then works out towards each end - so no grafting of stitches is required.

The ends are finished with a beaded edging (beads are optional) and a picot bind off giving a decorative edge (the picot edging is also optional).
