Up and Up
Introducing the Breezy Lacy Scarf, a stunning addition to your knitwear collection! This scarf features a unique lace pattern with no purling, creating an eye-catching piece that beautifully showcases open diamond shapes. Perfect for both beginners and experienced knitters, this pattern is designed to help you discover the joys of lace knitting.
Yarn: For this design, I used Louet Euroflax sport linen, 100% natural fibers. However, feel free to experiment with any sport weight yarn of your choice! The versatility of this pattern allows you to play with various textures and colors.
Needles: You'll need US size #8 needles for this project, but if you opt for lighter weight yarns, consider using larger needles like size #6 for alpaca lace or size #8 for cotton fingering yarn. The choice of needles will affect the openness and drape of your finished scarf.
Gauge: Don’t worry about achieving a specific gauge for this scarf. The emphasis is on the lace design, which will stretch beautifully after blocking. Once complete, the scarf measures approximately 6 inches in width and 72 inches in length, providing ample coverage and warmth.
Yardage: This pattern requires approximately 85 grams or 230 yards of yarn. Make sure to have enough yarn on hand, especially if you're trying out different weights or fibers!
The lace looks best when knitted with lightweight yarns and larger needles, as this enhances the open lace effect. Why not be adventurous? Try using luxurious alpaca lace yarn with size #6 needles, or opt for a lovely cotton fingering yarn with size #8 needles. Experimenting with different materials can yield delightful surprises in texture and style!
