Materials Required

I used two balls of KnitPicks Andean Treasure in Sapphire Heather with size 10 needles. I would call this yarn a worsted weight, and it is a baby alpaca yarn, so it's super soft.

Knitting Instructions

Cast On and Initial Rows

CO 40, long tail

Knit one row

Lace Pattern Rows

Row 1: k across

Row 2: k2, *yo, p4tog; rep from * to end to last two sts, k2

Row 3: k2, *k1, (k1, p1, k1) in yo from previous row; rep from * to end to last 2 sts, k2

Repeating and Finishing

Rep rows 1-3 until the scarf is as long as you want. I blocked mine, and this lace pattern opens dramatically, so keep that in mind when knitting, and deciding when to bind off.

After a row 1, knit one more row, then BO using JSSBO or another stretchy BO.

Block this, and weave in any remaining ends.

Final Measurements and Design

My finished scarf is 9"x60". Since the lace pattern is three rows, the pattern is completely reversible, so looks the same on both sides.
