Raha Scarf
Pattern Description from Knitted Lace of Estonia: “I got the idea for this scarf from my editor and friend, Ann Budd. She thought it might be interesting to knit a scarf using only one repeat of a pattern for the width. When I came across this pattern, I knew it would be perfect for such a scarf. The Rahakiri or Money pattern is one of the oldest Haapsalu patterns mentioned in the literature I have found. This pattern came to me from the knitting ladies in Haapsalu, and they have told me they ‘think’ it is the Raha pattern. In any case, it’s an interesting departure from the leaf and lily patterns.”
