The best scarves are warm, lovely, and reversible…don’t you agree? This lacy mohair scarf knits up quickly, has no purl stitches, and requires only one skein. If you can knit, yarn over, and make a decrease, you are ready to tackle this simple lace project.

When in Laramie, Wyoming, visit Cowgirl Yarn, say “hello”, and be prepared to be inspired and awed by warm surroundings and a wide variety of yarn.

Here is a free pattern I made to use with one skein of Artyarns from Cowgirl Yarn. Photos don’t do justice to the sparkly beads, sequins, and fuzzy yarn.
