Saroyan is the third pattern in a series inspired by the television show Bones. Previous patterns include Traveling Woman and Temperance.

Now available in Turkish, French, Portuguese, and German! Click here for more info.

Dr. Camille Saroyan is intelligent, graceful, and uncompromisingly organized. The simple lace scarf would fit right at home in sleek and professional wardrobe.

Knit in one piece from start to finish, Saroyan is a perfect project for beginning lace knitters. This tapered scarf can be worn a variety of ways, and the construction helps to keep your neck nice and cozy. The lace edging used in this scarf is from a stitch dictionary titled Super Stitches Knitting. A garter stitch border rolls over nicely, so you only see the stocking stitch body and lovely lace edging. (This rolling can be prevented if desired.)

Much like Traveling Woman, this pattern is easily adjusted to your preference. Like the triangular shawl shape instead? Simply knit more repeats of the increase section, and then begin your decreases immediately. Prefer fingering weight yarn? Bust out your scale and weigh your yarn periodically.

Now available in French here! (You will need Microsoft Word to read the translated file)

Design note
If the tip-to-tip construction of this is not your cup of tea, please check out the Cedar Leaf Shawlette, which features a similar leaf motif along the edge. The shawl body is knit, and then the leaf motif on the edge is picked up and knit along the border.
