Hello peeps. I really enjoyed making this lace scarf. It took me longer to knit up than what I'd expected - but am happy with the finished product and will definitely be making more!
I haven't tried knitting lace before and wanted to start out with something simple and this pattern definitely fit the bill!

It's called One Row Lace Scarf. The yarn is a fine hand dyed silk blend which recommended using size 6 needles so that's what I used. It drapes beautifully. The next scarf I make I will use larger needles so that it will look more like the image from Pinterest.

Hi Kay, Your scarf is beautiful. You did a lovely job. Now, for my question. I know knit and I know purl, but I do not know YO yarn over. Can you explain? I might want to try my hand at this. I have some specialty yarns that were given to me and i've had them for about 5 years, not knowing want to do with them, except for using them in paper crafting, so that's what I have been doing. This scarf looks like the perfect project.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend.
Your blogging sister, Connie :)
