Steppingstones Scarf is knit flat from end to end in basic lace stitches with spots of stockinette stitch peppered in for interest. Slipped stitches create finished side edges. Finished dimensions: 6.75”/ 17 cm width, 51”/ 129.5 cm length.

The name Steppingstones has double meaning for this scarf. First, it denotes the spots of stockinette stitch that interrupt the lace columns in a random looking yet planned way. The name also reflects why this scarf was designed – as a steppingstone for knitters to work with June Cashmere’s fingering weight yarn for the first time. Knit with larger needles, the yarn is worked in a basic lace pattern, resulting in an airy yet warm scarf. Because the lace pattern is basic, it’s also a steppingstone for knitters experimenting with lace for the first time. Knit from just one skein of June Cashmere fingering yarn, this is a relatively quick project that yields a beautiful result, with enough technique interest that knitters of all abilities can enjoy making it.
