Pattern description from Weekend Knitting: “The femininity of lace and the ruggedness of Lopi yarn from Iceland are beautifully merged in this casual scarf. It is shown in three colorways because designer Pam Allen and I just couldn’t narrow down our choice to a single color when we looked at the broad and beautiful palette in which this classic yarn is offered. The scarf’s simple lace pattern forms gentle waves along all four edges.”
