Very Pretty Lace Scarf In Quartz

Введение

The Very Pretty Lace Scarf pattern is here to remind us that not just complicated lace patterns are beautiful. With a mesmerizing texture and fascinating sense of depth, super simple lace is gorgeous, as well!

This very pretty lace comes from an easy-to-memorize four-round repeat. Two of those rounds are simply knitting, and the other two include just the basic building blocks of lace: yarn overs, knit two togethers, and slip slip knits. Simple!

We knit our scarf in Quartz, a mix of 65% merino wool and 35% suri alpaca, a wonderful yarn for warmth, softness, and, with its delicate suri halo, texture, too.

Quartz takes dye beautifully, seeming to glow like its namesake, and a gently heathered mélange of color adds even more depth and interest to this scarf.

There are twenty sumptuous colors to choose from. We used lovely Hydrangea Blossom, anticipating a need for a mid-winter pick-me-up, but take a look and pick the color that lifts your spirit, then cast on for some simple knitting. Very pretty, indeed!
