Four lovely lace patterns combine to create a generous, graceful scarf.

Originally designed as the curriculum for a class called “Introduction to Knitting Lace”, this pattern serves as a wonderful opportunity to practice and polish your lace knitting skills. Each stitch pattern has been selected to present different challenges and teach different skills. Each pattern is presented in both as a chart and in row-by-row instructions so you can work with the format that suits you best.

The scarf is worked in two identical pieces, from the ends to the center, then joined in the center with Kitchener stitch or a 3-needle bind off.

MATERIALS:
DK weight yarn – 400 yds

Sample is made with Berocco Ultra Wool DK
(100% Superwash Wool; 292 yds/100g)
2 balls color #8310 Alyssum

NEEDLES AND NOTIONS:
Size 7 (4.5mm) needles
Stitch holder or waste yarn
Tapestry needle

GAUGE:
20 sts and 20 rows = 4” in Razor Shell pattern, after blocking.

Gauge is not critical for this project, though
working at a different gauge will affect both the finished size of your scarf and the amount of yarn you’ll need. In order to highlight the lace patterns, work with a needle one or two sizes larger than you’d normally choose for the yarn you’ve chosen.
