Simple techniques can sometimes produce the most stunning results! The lace pattern of this eternity scarf is a prime example, only using knit, purl, k2tog, and ssk to create a beautifully intricate-looking design.
Placing stitch markers to separate each 20-stitch repeat and keeping track of which of the 32 rounds you are on are easy ways to ensure success working this stitch pattern. You can follow the charted or written version, both of which are included in this pattern.
The eternity scarf is worked entirely in the round, with a few rounds of ribbing before and after the lace.
As you work each round, this deceptively complicated-looking lace stitch will emerge and impress all! Shown here in a vibrant yellow gold color with subtle green tones, but would look great in other solid-colored worsted-weight yarns with excellent stitch defintion.

Could not wait to begin another of Katherines beautiful projects! As she states, a deceptively complicated looking lace stitch emerges from what I originally thought was going to be a very complicated pattern. It’s not complicated at all. Love this pattern!
