Materials You'll Need

For your knitting project, you'll need fingering-weight yarn in the following quantities: 437 (655, 870) yards / 400 [600, 800] meters, depending on the size you choose. The small wrap showcased in this pattern is crafted using Handmaiden Sea Silk (a luxurious blend of 70% silk and 30% seacell; 654 yards [600 m] / 150 grams), in the exquisite “Paris” colorway—requiring just 1 skein.

For the Scarf: You'll need US 4 (3.5 mm) needles, or the size necessary to meet the gauge specified.

For the Wraps: Use US 4 (3.5 mm) 24" [60 cm] circular needles or longer, again selecting the size that will help you achieve the proper gauge.

For both projects: Make sure to have stitch markers and a yarn needle on hand to assist with your lacework.

Gauge

To ensure your scarf or wrap fits beautifully, aim for a gauge of 20 stitches and 32 rows per 4" [10 cm] in the central lace motif, after blocking. This attention to detail will provide you with the perfect finish and drape.

Embrace your creativity and transform your knitting experience with this captivating pattern that honors the elegance of the past while allowing for a modern twist. Whether you're gifting your creations or keeping them for yourself, this lace scarf and wrap will bring a touch of vintage charm to any wardrobe.
