Notes

Yarn held double throughout. I want to make this scarf in cashmere but wanted to practice first.

This was good practice for nupps: small project (vs large shawl), only 5 st nupps (vs 7), i used a lace weight held double to give a larger gauge…learning nupps on 2ply lace? Yuck.

I followed the pattern exactly except for the end of the center lace section. After the YO K2TOG, I knit 3 rows instead of just one ( equiv of rows 18, 17, & 16 of Lily Lace Edge) For the top lace edge I only worked the first 14 rows then my Kitchener stitch was in effect row 15. I thought this would be easier than grafting garter stitch together.
