Vintage knitwear has always been my wheelhouse. One of the most iconic and beautiful sweaters known throughout history is the Victory Sweater knit by many women at the end of World War II. That sweater was the inspiration for this scarf. Beginning with a simple long tail cast on, Delphine is worked from the bottom up in one piece so you can choose your size. The lace stitch, a simple 9 stitch repeat is perfect for customizing the width of your scarf as well. Try one color for a subdued look or two or three for a more daring look!
