Sterling Lace Scarf

This pretty silvery yarn is knit into an easy four row repeat lace pattern, making a beautiful scarf/wrap. It is a bit wider than an average scarf, but is perfect for spring and summer nights since it's open and airy, but just a little something to keep warm with.


I used about 1 1/3 skeins of Knit Picks Hawthorne Fingering Tonal Hand Painted in Astoria with size 8 needles.

CO 64, long tail. To change the width, simply CO any multiple of 4.

K one row.

Row 1: k2, *k2tog, 2 yo, ssk; rep from * to end to last 2 sts, k2

Row 2: k2, *p2, k1, p1; rep from * to end to last 2 sts, k2

Row 3: k2, *yo, ssk, k2tog, yo; rep from * to end to last 2 sts, k2

Row 4: k2, *k1 , p3; rep from * to end to last 2 sts, k2

Repeat rows 1-4 until the scarf is the desired length. I blocked mine and found this stitch pattern opened up quite a bit, so keep that in mind when deciding when to BO.

After a row 4, knit 1 row, and then BO using JSSBO or any other stretchy BO. Block if desired, and weave in tails.


My finished wrap is 72"x16".  This yarn has subtle color changes, from a darker gray to a medium silvery grey, and looks very pretty with this lacy stitch.



I hope you enjoy this pattern, and make one for yourself.

XOXO, Alyssa

  1. What does the 11/3 mean? I'm trying to figure out how many skeins of yarn I should buy for this pattern?
