Ethereal leafy lace makes a heavenly border for this simple garter stitch scarf. Knit it in any number of widths from narrow scarf to wide wrap. Wear it alone or with coordinating mitts.

Verduri is worked flat in two pieces, beginning with a picot cast on for the lace borders. The two pieces are grafted together in garter (a photo-tutorial walks you through the process).

The picot cast-on section of this pattern has been revised to make it easier to understand, and my new photo-tutorial on picot cast on is now linked in the Resources section.

If you’re still struggling with the picot cast on, don’t sweat it. The picots are meant to be assymetrical and should be off center with the leaf stitch pattern. So if you’re off a stitch here or there, it doesn’t matter at all as long as you have the correct number of stitches at the end of the cast-on row.
