The Cresta Scarf is a lightweight, one-skein project that is perfect for showcasing those special skeins waiting in your stash. Named after the Spanish word for “ridge” or “mountain,” this design features a gently textured lace stitch that forms soft ridges throughout the fabric.

Worked with simple increases and decreases on one side, the scarf curves gracefully as it grows, creating a versatile and flattering shape. A neat I-cord edging finishes things off beautifully.

Relaxing to knit and easy to memorise, The Cresta Scarf is an intuitive pattern suited to adventurous beginners and beyond — ideal for a calming project with satisfying results.

The pattern can be easily adapted to suit the yardage of your skein of yarn.
