A long infinity scarf in a beautiful silk yarn, which drapes elegantly around your shoulders. Doubled up it will protect you from the cold.

As a variation, it can be made a scarf, with the beautiful winding lace pattern across each edge.

To make the set complete, there is also a hat, in the same lace pattern.

The lace is rather straightforward, and should be easy to “read”. Instructions are provided both as charts, and written out.

Please note that silk has a great drape. If you choose to work in another fiber, such as wool, you may want to go up in needle size, or use a slightly thinner yarn, to get a drapey result. Yardage requirements may change too.
