This table runner makes a wonderful wedding present (you can make two out of one skein of Euroflax Sportweight) but also makes a very elegant lace scarf. The creative use of needle sizes creates the gently sloping butterfly edging. When blocked, the gauge transitions substantially due to the changing needle sizes.
