Jacaranda Flowers
This pattern makes a lovely scarf or stole. In the lace mohair and silk of the aloft on the large needles, it makes a fluffy lace confection that is almost lighter than air. You can’t tell from the pictures, but the yarn is hot pink. It basically floats when you handle it.
For those looking to make a scarf with a lovely pattern in a lighter than air result, this is the perfect pattern. If you can count to three, the pattern is simple to do, and simply moves the same stitches from one side to another. The results look far more complex. They reminded me of the jacaranda flowers on the tree.
Note: You can make a decent length scarf with only 1 skein of Aloft. The total length is about 40” without fringe and 60” with 10” fringe on both ends. I would caution you to make the fringe first if you want to go this route, as people knit different gauges and may get to 40” without enough yarn for the fringe. But it is possible to knit this with a single skein, as I did this for my second project and it came out wonderfully.
