Notes

Errata: row 3 of stockinette short rows should end in “Turn”

This was my first lace knitting. Not too hard after the repeat is memorized. The finished scarf is a little short for my taste. I am a medium person and it wraps once around the shoulders with an 8in(10cm) overlap and needs a shawl pin to stay on. If I were to knit it again, I would make it 12-18in(11-13cm) longer on the lace repeats, though if using the yarns I choose to do this with would require one extra skein each then.

Very happy with the color combo, though it feels very traditional/old fashioned.
