Take three balls of variegated green soft 50% wool, 50% acrylic. Add a gossamer lace knitting stitch originating in the Shetland Islands in the 19th century. What do you have? A sophisticated, stylish scarf that looks like woolen malachite. Add three buttons at one end. Voila! You can now wear it in a variety of ways – looped and long, double looped in a cowl style, or wrapped around your neck like a normal scarf.

Special Stitches / Directions:

This lace stitch is called Horseshoes. It results in a scalloped edge at the base of the work. This is used in this design to hide the non-scalloped top edge of the work when the buttons are done up in the finished scarf.
