The traditional patterns of Shetland lace have been an inspiration for many lace knitters. This pattern adapts the Shetland Feather and Fan lace stitch pattern, incorporating the well known fan shape in both the scarf and hand warmers. The larger 'fans' on the beginning and ending borders of the scarf create a feminine flare.
The scarf is worked in two halves, with the second half reversing the placement of the decreases, so that the two halves mirror each other. Garter stitch is frequently used in the scarf stitch patterns. A "prevelance of purls" on the right side of the scarf helps create a fabric that lays flat.
Choose between light lace weight, fine fingering, DK (Double Knitting), or extra warm worsted yarns. The instructions are provided in both charted and written form.
The hand warmers are written for 3 yarn weights. If you knit the Laceweight scarf, and want matching hand warmers, use doubled laceweight and follow the instructions for the Fingering version.
Recommended for Intermediate knitters.
The scarf is approximately 6 to 7.5 inches wide and 42 to 45 inches long.
The Hand Warmers are sized for a Woman's Size Medium
