The intricate appearance of the lace stitches that make up this elegant scarf belies the simplicity of the pattern. With incremental decreases worked block by block, the scarf takes on a gently stepped triangular shape. I have used a very fine lightweight yarn in a deep plum shade to complement the filigree openwork stitches.
