SIMPLE LACE SCARF Original Knitting Pattern

This easy scarf is a good second (or even first) lace-knitting project. The borders at each end are worked in an extremely simple traditional Shetland pattern called Razor Shell. (You will have it memorized before you know it, which is useful, because some very nice scarves have been worked in this stitch alone.) In the center section one repeat of the Razor Shell pattern continues along each edge while a string of basic eyelet diamonds is worked up the middle.

One 50 gm ball of fingering weight wool will make a scarf approximately 5 1/2 x 54 inches. It is easy to lengthen by working more repeats of the center section pattern, just be sure to purchase additional yarn if you plan to do this. About a skein and a half of worsted will make a larger, heftier version.

A natural fiber yarn such as wool or alpaca is suggested, as blocking is needed to open up the pattern on lace projects. The pink sample in the photo is 100% wool fingering weight worked on #4 (2.5 mm) needles.
The pattern is written in both line by line and charted format.
