This is lovely scarf made with an age-old lace pattern. Snowdrop lace (named for little flowers that grow in the woods) is feminine and not too difficult. Bordered on all sides with garter stitch, this would be a great introduction to lace knitting. You can use virtually any fingering weight yarn and size 5 or 6 needles with great results. The lace is an eight-row repeat, so it’s easy to add length, if desired.
