Janet's One-Skein Lace Scarf

The pattern overview

My Scarf


I had a single ball of beautiful mohair/wool blend calling to me and decided to knit a quick scarf.

I have to admit I didn't swatch and guessed at the stitch count. But the stitch pattern is very forgiving and worked out beautifully.

Since this is a discontinued yarn, I'm sure you will be substituting something from your stash, so please read all the entries in this Quick Win to work out YOUR scarf instructions.
