This scarf is knit with alternating horizontal lace and tweed stitch panels. If you have a moderate amount of experience with lace knitting you’ll likely find this an enjoyable knit.
There’s enough variation to keep you from getting bored, yet the repeats of the pattern keep you from having to concentrate too intensely!
I love working with Araucania Botany Lace (Colorway: 3006, rainbow), and used most of a 100g skein for this scarf that measures 57 x 7 inches (145 x 20.25 cm) after blocking.
Most any type of yarn would be fine as long as the stitches are well defined. I’m trying a solid color sport-weight alpaca yarn now as you can see in this work-in-progress below (before blocking, which is important to open up the lace design):
You can download the free pattern from my Ravelry page or Craftsy pattern shop.
If you’d like to modify the width or length of the scarf and need help, let me know.
Happy knitting!
