This is the perfect project to take with you as you travel. It’s worked over a 4-row repeat and only uses knits (no purls!) and is reversible. The extra wraps of yarn during the knits on one of the rows offer a beautiful and simple lace design. “No purls about it” uses only one hank of yarn and you can choose to work until you’re almost out of yarn or until you reach your desired length. This pattern is easily adaptable to be more narrow or wider simply by adding or subtracting in increments of six.

This pattern is available to view on my website for free. The ad-free pdf comes with extra goodies: a chart, a “recipe” card for taking your pattern on the go and printable gift tags for gifting your make. This pattern has a video tutorial to help you along and has been tested.

The yarn that I chose to use is Knit Picks “Muse” fingering weight yarn. You can use any fingering weight yarn that you like, but I do recommend using a yarn with a natural fiber blend that will allow the scarf to bloom when you block it.
