Looking for a new twist to your lace scarf or shawl? You won’t go wrong with this.

A cheat’s lace technique goes into the creation of this holey fabric with this scarf. With chunky yarn giving a bold effect to this pattern, you’ll love knitting the garter stitch rows interspersed with the cross effect lines.
It’ll grow quickly as you’ll enjoy the rhythm of the repeating pattern and will always want to do one more set of rows before you put it down!

Who is this for?
This pattern is good for you if you have experience in knitting and are looking to find new ways to manipulate the yarn. You’ll also find the pattern as part of the Lace Wizardry course, which gives full video tutorials. I suggest this course and pattern is something you can tackle within the first 3-6months of knitting if you have a regular, consistent knitting routine.

Why do you need it?
Adding a little interest to your knit skills means you’re not knitting yet another garter stitch scarf. With garter stitch prominent (no purling, just knitting in this scarf!) it’s easy to remember what you’re doing next. And getting used to taking charge of the yarn to create new and exciting textures is ideal for moving your knitting skills and experience on.
