The Lacy Spring Scarf - Beginner
Hello, everyone! Thank you so much for visiting my blog! I am so grateful for each and every one of you. ❤️
This scarf pattern I am going to share with you is something I freehanded randomly a couple of years ago. I unearthed it recently, while going through my stash, and I was struck by how gorgeous it was. Has that ever happened to you? 🤔
This scarf is meant to be made with mini skeins or scrap yarn that is too gorgeous to throw away, but doesn't have enough yardage to add to a large project. This one was made with mini skeins.
This one was made with scrap yarn. The purple variegated is left over yarn from an indie dyer who closed up shop. The blue is left over from my Jeans and Lace Shawl, which can be found here: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/jeans-and-lace-shawl
I love mini skeins, but their lack of yardage makes it very difficult to figure out what to do with them. Creating a lace pattern allows you to get more size for your yardage. This scarf takes four, but you can use more, if you want to make it longer or wider. I love lacy scarves for transitional weather, like Spring and Fall!
The mini skein set used for this scarf came from Melissa's Yarn Barn. Melissa is one of my top favorite handdyers, and I highly encourage you to check out her shop here:
She also does custom orders! Send her a message, if you have something particular in mind.
