This lightweight lacy scarf is a perfect accessory for in-between seasons, when it’s too warm for our cozy wool cowls, and still too cool for bare skin. Named after the stitch pattern that makes up the panels of lace, it features a repeating motif depicting a Japanese folding fan, known as a sensu. A great first project for those wanting to venture into lace knitting! Designed to use approximately 420 yds of sock/fingering weight yarn, this one is perfect for those special single skeins of yarn we all have in our stash!
