I read that style experts declared Marsala as the color of the year for 2015, so I bought some lace weight (superfine) yarn that’s 40% silk, 50% merino, and 10% kid mohair in that color and decided to try the yarn with my Blossoms and Vines lace knit scarf pattern.
I like the color with this design, and the stitch definition with this yarn.
To make the scarf you need 1-1/2 25g balls of ICE Yarn Silk (around 300 yards/275 meters) check. I used 3.0mm needles (US size 2.5)
The finished scarf measures 6 x 54 inches (15 x 137 cm).
Give it a try and let me know if you have any questions or comments.
You can find this pattern and my other original scarf, shawl, and bandana designs on Ravelry, Craftsy, and LoveKnitting – and some of my finished accessories for sale on Etsy.
Happy Knitting!
