Pure silky softness glides through your fingers as you knit this one-ball beauty!
A very pretty lace pattern that only uses basic decreases and yarn overs evolves nicely as it runs the length of the scarf. The placement of the decreases and eyelets form curves that evoke the loveliness of an ornate chalice.
A few stitches in Garter stitch along both edges give them a subtle and neat finish.
Knit this highly-giftable scarf in any of the many kid mohair/silk blends of lace-weight yarns (see materials section for yarn options). An amazing stash-buster!

I've been knitting for a number of years; probably would be considered intermediate. And I collect patterns (LOL)! Although I played with different lacy pieces, I was never really that serious about learning. This year I needed gifts for Christmas Stockings and noticed this pattern as I was going through things looking for ideas. I knew I had some Knit Picks Aloft yarn, so jumped right in. The first one came out lovely and when I posted a pic on FB, I got many compliments. I have about 10 rows left on my second scarf and just need to block both. This pattern is very easy to follow and best of all, when I made a mistake in counting, stitched through an extra loop, or forgot to correctly YO before a purl stitch it was very easy to find and correct the errors. That was a huge bonus for me as in some patterns I've had to pick out rows and rows before I could find a problem and a place to start again. I highly recommend this as a beginning lace knit! I have several Sweater Babe patterns and am looking forward to trying my next one!

I feel fabulous when wearing this. Its light and lovely. I would definitely reccomend. I have bought several of your "freebies" and not got round to knitting them up. I intend to try to knit a few more after this one because its just lovely and will be great for winter. It knits quickly due to reasonably sized needles.
