Little Dandelion Lace is knitted flat in natural or plant-dyed shades of pure wool, with alternating bands of simple lace and checkerboard stranded knitting, creating a small, delicate but distinctive piece for warmer days.

Wear it as a short scarf around your neck, as a loop or knotted or maybe tie around your head and drape over your shoulder or down your back.

The simple construction teamed with muted colours and the airy quality of lace knitted on a larger than usual needle makes this a rhythmic and deceptively fast-growing knit that may remind you of a dandelion seed flying in the breeze.
The stitch patterns have been chosen to allow newer knitters to explore two techniques while making something that looks impressive, elegant and fun.
