Zelda (Flapper Dreams)
Zelda Fitzgerald was dubbed by her husband as “the first American flapper” and this elongated thin scarf evokes the spirit of that age. Channel your inner Jazz Baby - wrap this once around your neck and let it float around you the next time you’re dancing the Charleston. The deep lace borders at either end are worked first and the second border is grafted into place once the body of the piece is worked. Two skeins of Linen Silk provide enough yardage to knit the larger size.
