When a heavy scarf just won't do, grab this gossamer-weight lace scarf instead! The silk/kid mohair blend lace-weight yarn knit on size 9 needles creates a supremely soft scarf.
An open lace panel with gentle peaks along one long edge is contrasted with a bit of garter stitch for lots of textural interest.
This scarf is very light, yet has enough body to allow itself to be draped in many pretty ways.
Wrap it around your neck like a cowl and tuck in the ends, drape it around your neck with the ends drawn through the folded middle loop, or tie it askew with a loose knot – it will always add a nice touch of femininity to your outfit.
PLUS, it's knit from just one ball of yarn. . . making it an ideal gift knit or quick knit for yourself!
ALSO available as part of The Gossamer Lace Collection eBook, which includes 4 Lace Shawl/Scarf patterns.

I love 1-ball mohair-silk lace patterns. They are my airplane, car-trip, long doctors office projects because with small circular needles fit in a 1 qt zip-lock in purse. This pattern is not difficult, but with a 12-row repeat, and multiple repeats within each row, I quick-referenced the pattern throughout. My friend's review of Snowy White results: "EXQUISITE!" So YES will be using this pattern again! Thank You!

I love this pattern, with it's one garter stitch side border and elegant lace pattern it is such an individual piece and so classy! So enjoyable to knit, I will definitely be making more of these!

An easy but still elaborate pattern even for first time lace knitter. Really happy about my scarf, which I made twice as wide simply by doubling the lace pattern in each row

This scarf was easy to make and just challenging enough to never get boring. The pattern was well written and ways to follow. Now that I've finished the first one in cream, I can't wait to start another in a different colour.

This is truly an enjoyable pattern to make. I used Knitpicks Aloft in Cosmopolitan. I used my HiyaHiya Lace circular needles. I found it quick and easy to follow the instructions. My finished product once blocked was a delight that I use every day in the office to keep the air conditioning off my neck and shoulders. I have two more balls of Aloft and will be using this pattern to make gifts.
