A light, airy scarf, Obelisco will complement your warmer-weather wardrobe. Long columns of lacy yarn overs are flanked by soothing stockinette stitch. Slipping the first stitch of every row creates a smooth edge.

Obelisco begins with just a few stitches and increases are quickly worked to establish the pattern. Once the width is attained, you’ll work a 2-row repeat which is easily memorized; then decreases begin which mimics the beginning. Weighing your yarn ahead of time makes the most of your skein.
