This shawl/scarf can be worked with a single strand or with multiple strands of yarn. The scarf shown is with a single strand of fingering weight yarn. The shawl/wrap is worked with two strands of yarn for aran weight.

I originally called this the “zig zag scarf” because of the geometric nature of the lace pattern. Then I saw a photo of some roofs from the corner of Valencia Street and 24th Street in the Mission District of San Francisco and changed the name of the pattern to Valencia.

Pattern is 5 pages.
