This beautifully designed rectangular scarf features alternating lace panels and elegant twisted rib bands, resulting in a stunning texture that elevates any outfit. The intricate borders are also crafted with twisted rib stitches, adding a polished finish to the accessory. While the instructions are specifically crafted for a one skein fingering weight scarf, this versatile pattern can easily be adapted to create a longer or wider scarf or shawl, catering to your personal style and needs.
Finished Measurements: Length: 50” (126cm), Width: 10” (26cm)—the perfect dimensions for draping around your neck or wearing as a light shawl.
Yarn: You will need 450 yards (410 meters) of fingering weight yarn to complete this project. The sample is beautifully showcased in Riverside Studio's yarn (100% Superwash Merino Singles, 462 yards/422 meters, 115g) in the enchanting colourway Fog, which offers both comfort and style.
Needles: This pattern utilizes US size 5 (3.75mm) needles or the size needed to achieve the correct gauge, ensuring your scarf has the perfect fit and drape.
Notions: Be sure to have 2 stitch markers on hand, and consider using lifelines if you're working with lace techniques to help you manage any potential mistakes with ease.
Gauge: Achieve an accurate gauge of 27 stitches and 26 rows = 4” (10cm) in 1x2 rib after blocking, and note that the lace panel width measures 41 stitches = 6.5" (16cm). Proper gauge is essential for your scarf to turn out as intended!
Keep in mind that this pattern includes only written instructions without any charts, making it straightforward for knitters who prefer text-based directions.
