Fruition
I love lace at a larger gauge. This scarf is intricate, beautiful, and delicate, but easy to knit. It’s reminiscent of antique lace, like my grandmother used to make. Designed as a respite for the neck, this scarf provides lacy layers without extra bulk and weight. With interesting construction details, like a Provisional Cast-On and a 3-Needle Bind-Off, this pattern is an experience in practicing techniques as well as relaxing into the lace repeats that run the length of the scarf. Knit in Abundant Earth Fibers Josef & Anni, lusciously soft and bouncy, this 3-ply yarn gives this scarf incredible stitch definition.
*This item is a digital pattern .pdf for you to knit the scarf yourself, not an actual finished scarf.
