Versatile Lace Scarf Pattern - Knit

A lovely lace knit scarf pattern you can play around with. Recommended for an advanced beginner though I honestly think it isn't too hard so don't be shy at giving it a try even if you are a true beginner. It is a great way to start practicing your increases and decreases while making a lovely lace scarf. I chose to combine Berroco Gem yarn and Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool Designer's Choice yarn for this project. I have been looking for a way to look use my beautiful, but bright, Gem Tangerine yarn for a while and this seemed perfect. When combined with the Granite wool yarn, it balances it out to give the scarf a more elegant look. When you decide to knit two strands of yarn together, you need to decide what size needle to use. The thickest yarn of the two, that I used for this project, is the Gem. The Gem's yarn label recommends a size # 9 US. Now that it will be combined with yet another yarn, I need to go up a needle size and chose to use size # US 11 knitting
