As we enter the one-year anniversary of this pattern hitting Ravelry as one of our Pre-Order Yarn Club patterns, I’m re-releasing it for free. Enjoy this lovely, practical scarf.

This pretty scarf is warm, practical and easy to make. Created in two halves, the lace is knit from the top down each time, so that it’s identical on both ends! You’ll use your favorite method for provisional cast-ons, make half the scarf, then pick up the live stitches in the middle and knit the other half. The lace is fun and simple, even for a beginner. A bit of aggressive blocking makes the scarf a perfect length and opens up the lace at the same time.

The Cougar Mountain Hap Scarf uses several fun techniques: provisional cast-on, 2-stitch icord edging, and basic lace to create a scarf that is reminiscent of Shetland Island hap shawls, but wearable for any situation.

The yarns used in the scarf shown are natural, undyed wools from Garthenor, a Welsh yarn company.
