Special Jan 2015 Update - Variation:
For a beautiful adjustment to the pattern, reference Row 69, where you will notice specific instructions in parentheses to be repeated a total of 18 times across the row: (K2tog, YO, K3, YO, SSK, K3).
On the second K stitch of the K3 group highlighted above, place a bead for added sparkle before knitting the stitch. This small but stunning detail enhances the overall look of the scarf and brings a unique flair to your knitting project.
For the best results, consider using needles that are one size larger than the pattern specifies. Instead of using the 3.5mm needles, opt for US5 (3.75mm) to achieve a looser, more drapey fabric. This adjustment will further enhance the beauty of the lacework in your heart-shaped scarf.
Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to enrich your knitting experience. Grab your copy of Four of My Favorites: Lace Knit Shawls for All Seasons today, and let this heart-shaped scarf be the next addition to your handmade accessory collection!
