Lali is a friend of mine. She’s supernice and kind and a lot of fun to be with! And she hates the cold winters of her city. This cute scarf was designed specifically for her birthday, as I wanted to gift her with something nice and versatile, that could also keep her warm.

For this reason I decided to knit it with a worsted weight yarn, but this scarf can be knitted using any kind of yarn and then easily resized (if needed) using the instructions included in the pattern.

The lace that makes up this cute accessory is quite easy and straightforward, so that it can be the perfect first lace project.

The Lali Scarf is made of two identical sections that are knit flat lengthwise (starting from the shorter side) and then grafted together. This is necessary in order to keep the lace pattern symmetrical on both sides.
