Inspired by the bittersweet vine that grows rampant in the Berkshire Hills of Massachusetts, this scarf is a relatively simple lace pattern incorporating a narrow cable stitch design element and a seed stitch border.

It provides an opportunity for the advancing beginner to incorporate cable stitches, seed stitch and an easy to follow lace pattern to their repertoire. Every wrong side row of the main lace body is the same, making this a relatively fast project. The lace pattern is written (no charts) and easy to follow.

The 4 stitch cables may be substituted with a stockinette rib (i.e. replace cable 2 back & cable 2 front with knit 4. 

This scarf may be widened to shawl width by multiplying the lace
pattern of 24 stitches + 20 stitches for the side borders. 

To increase length, work additional repeats of the main body to suit your preference. As designed, this pattern requires just under 350 yards of worsted, so if increasing the length, please increase your yardage accordingly.
