Citrus Tonic

Nice, fresh, home-made lemonade—doesn’t it evoke memories of vibrant summer days? For me, it certainly does! With lemon as a delightful starting point, I love to explore mixing other citrus fruits to create an array of exciting flavors and variations that embody the essence of summer.

Introducing the stylish and lacy Citrus Tonic Scarf, the perfect summer knitting project! This eye-catching scarf features a beautiful combination of intricate lace patterns that flow seamlessly into one another. Thanks to the use of double-stranded yarn, this scarf knits up quickly, making it an ideal project for both novice and seasoned knitters. You’ll begin with a provisional cast-on technique that is essential for any knitter’s repertoire—don't worry; it's easier than it sounds! ?

The luxurious silk yarn not only keeps you cool during those warm summer days but also provides protection against the occasional summer breeze. With its generous length, you can comfortably wrap the Citrus Tonic Scarf twice around your neck for extra coziness or wear it elegantly folded in two. For those looking to create a stunning stole, I recommend working towards a length of around 180 cm / 71 inches, offering you versatility for various occasions.

This exquisite scarf pattern is showcased in Bart & Francis Powdersoft Silk, a premium lace yarn consisting of 100% silk, featuring a remarkable 700 meters / 766 yards per 100 grams. You will only need one skein for this project; my sample used 96 grams in the vibrant color Lime, while a second sample is displayed in the bright hue of Orange.

Embrace the spirit of summer with this fantastic knitting project, and enjoy the satisfaction of creating a piece that reflects the warmth of sunny days and the refreshing zest of citrus fruits.
