This airy lace scarf is worked with hand-painted yarns of different textures and
complementary colorways.. The combination of the yarns give additional dimension to the lace pattern.
Finished size: approx. 5” wide
Yarn: Sugar Apple Creations Hand-painted Cashmerino (60% Cashmere, 40% Merino Wool) in Lavender colorway
Sugar Apple Creations Hand-painted Kid Mohair (100% Kid Mohair) in Spring Moss colorway
Yarn Substitutions: The Cashmerino is a light sport weight yarn. The mohair is a laceweight. Unfortunately, I forgot to note how many yards I had used, but you should be able to make a long enough scarf with about 200-220 yards of yarn.
Needles: US 10 straight needles
NOTES:
k2tog - knit two stiches together
p2tog - purl two stitches together
ssk - slip, slip, knit. Slip the 1st and 2nd stitches knitwise and knit them together.
p2togb- purl two stitches together through the back loops. If you haven't done this one before, it's a little awkward, but not hard. You're just sticking your RH needle from left to right from the back loops of the 2 stiches, then you purl them together.
Lace Chart
13 \ ¡ \ ¡ 12 11 \ ¡ \ ¡ 10 9 \ ¡ ¡ / 8 7 ¡ / ¡ / 6 5 ¡ / ¡ / 4
If you prefer to use a chart instead of row by row instructions, use the one below. I've numbered the rows in accordance to the corresponding written instructions. This is a very basic pattern with 3 rows of seed stitch at both ends of the scarf. The lace pattern is repeated twice and inserted between 3-stitch seed stitch at the beginning and end of each row.
