SANDBURG SCARF KNITTING PATTERN




Looking for an easy breezy lace scarf, or are you ready for more of a challenge? Sandburg offers both options.


The basic version starts and finishes with simple garter stitch border. The elaborated option (shown here) adds a knitted on lace edging to the narrow ends of the scarf. If you have never used this technique before, this is a good way to try it out.


The pattern includes both written and charted instructions for the lace patterns; as well as detailed instructions and a photo tutorial for knitting on the edging.
