This pattern includes a second PDF version that is formatted for knitters with low vision. It has black text, size 22 or larger text in a sans serif font, no italics, no columns, and fully-written directions. The chart is still included but is not needed to work the pattern. Many thanks to Gemma Thompson (gemmabelle here on Rav) and the Accessible Patterns group for their guidance in formatting patterns in a more accessible way.

The Frontispiece Scarflet is a scrappy little project designed to use up leftovers from a pair of socks or other fingering-weight project. It features the same stitch pattern used on my Frontispiece Socks.
