This simple scarf is a great pattern for beginning lace knitters, or anyone wanting to practice their knitted-on edging technique. Worked in two colors, it’s a great project to help teach knitters how to see the relationship between both parts of the project (center lace panel & edging). The Small Version shows a color combination with high contrast, while the Large Version’s colors are subtle and tonal. You may wish to work yours all in one color. As always, Knitter’s preference!

Construction

• The lace Center Panel is worked first and begins with a Provisional Cast On. If working your scarf with two colors, this section is worked with Main Color (MC).
• Upon completion of the Center Panel, you will work a knitted-on lace edging that attaches to the perimeter of the Center Panel as it is worked. If working your scarf with two colors, this section is worked with Trim Color (TC).
