This scarf has two different looks in one pattern, each featuring interlinked lace leaves. The rectangular version of the  Lace Leaves Scarf is knitted from end to end in one piece. It makes up quickly and with very little yarn - only 150 yards of fingering weight!

The longer, wider version of Lace Leaves Scarf has shaped ends and is knitted in two pieces, then joined at the middle by an easy method that does not require grafting.  Size US 5 (3.75 mm) needles suggested for average gauge of 5 stitches per inch over blocked lace.  Charted and written stitch instructions.

Instructions for two scarf designs included.

With a total of only 550 yards of fingering weight yarn, you can knit two scarves, one for you and a friend.  

Need to stock-pile some gifts?  With two or three skeins of different colorways of Serenity, you can have a variety of scarves on-hand.  Serenity is put up on an 8 oz./700 yd. skein, enough for two scarves. 

Or knit hand painted 8/2 tencel with mill-dyed 8/2 tencel to equal a fingering weight yarn.  Each are approximately 8 oz. and 1680 yards!  Need another change?  Combine the hand painted with a different color of mill-dyed.  For the third scarf, combine the two mill-dyed.  

With one skein of hand painted 8/2 tencel and two cones of mill dyed 8/2 tencel, you will have three different color combinations and enough yardage for several  scarves in two shapes.

Yarn suggestions:  (F)

• 8/2 tencel knitted doubled - 1.5 oz./325 yds. - 1 skein (for rectangular version only)

• Serenity cotton/rayon - 8 oz./700 yds. - 1 skein

This is an accessory that will cause others to take a second look.  The möbius is simply a rectangle joined in a half loop.  No inside - no outside as the fabric is completely reversible!  What sets the Möbius Zigzag apart from others is the dramatic zigzag edge.  As an option, you may use your favorite cast-on and binding off method and leave as a scarf.  This is an easy lace pattern that I know you will enjoy knitting as much as wearing.

Size:  36" loop, 10" overall width, 200 yards sport or DK weight yarn. 5 sts./in., size 8 U.S./5.0 mm.  The pattern adjusts easily in width and length, as well as other yarn weights. Flexible, easy, and fun!

If there is a knitter on your gift list, the kit makes a nice gift with the 6.25 oz./400 yd. skein of hand painted rayon boucle, the space-saver version of the pattern, and an organza-trimmed drawstring kit bag to sit next to their favorite chair.

The Skinny on Lace - #A87  

Have fun knitting this pattern with built-in options.  It is so easy that you will want to make several to have on hand for special handmade gifts.  The finished models display the details of this pattern designed with chevrons and stylized fleur-de-lis.  

Style options include directions for a sash, necktie and a long wrap scarf.

Optional yarn choices too - anything from laceweight to sport/DK weight yarn.

Yardage requirements are as follows:

• Sash:  135 yards fingering weight yarn or equivalent such as Serenity  for blocked measurements of 4" x 60", size 6 U.S./4.0mm.  Optionally, double 8/2 tencel for fingering weight.   

• Scarf:  250 yards sport or DK weight yarn such as Jaggerspun Zephyr 4/8 Silk/Merino for blocked measurements of 4½" x 80", size 7 U.S./4.5mm.

• Necktie: 110 yards laceweight yarn or equivalent such as 8/2 tencel for blocked measurements of 2¼" x 40", size 1 U.S./2.25mm.

The Skinny on Lace long scarf version shown on the left was knitted in Heritage Yarns Serenity cotton/rayon in the colorway, Atlantic Moonglow. Serenity comes in a huge skein 8 ounce skein, so there is plenty to make looooong scarves like this one (8½ feet!) and still have lots of yarn left over to make something else.  I love how this is scarf is extra-long and can be wrapped and tied in so many ways.
