Herringbone Lace Scarf & Shawl
If you share my mild obsession with self-striping yarns featuring long stretches of color, you're in for a treat with these two stunning designs that beautifully showcase gradient or self-striping sock yarns. Inspired by beloved brands like Noro, these patterns allow the intricate hues to shine through while keeping your stitchwork refreshingly simple.
The patterns presented here include a charming rectangular scarf and a graceful semi-circular shawl. Each project utilizes just one ball of self-striping yarn, ensuring you can enjoy a fulfilling knitting experience without the need for multiple skeins. The unique stitch pattern creates delightful scalloped rows, resulting in eye-catching wavy stripes that highlight the beauty of your yarn.
The scarf serves as a perfect first lace project, featuring only a single pattern row and an easy 12-stitch repeat. If you're ready for your next challenge, the shawl offers an excellent step up, combining elegance with accessibility.
Don’t let the fineness of the yarn and needles intimidate you! This project is no more labor-intensive than knitting a pair of socks, and the stunning results are certainly worth the effort. Plus, if you prefer a larger finished project, feel free to opt for a thicker yarn to suit your style!
Both designs feature a straightforward and easily memorized pattern, making them ideal for travel knitting or cozy afternoons at home. Our pattern notes include detailed instructions on proper finishing and blocking techniques, ensuring your finished piece looks its absolute best. Dive into the joy of self-striping yarns today and create a beautiful masterpiece that’s sure to impress!
