A Mingled Yarn

Lacy Knot Scarf Pattern

This is a truly lovely stitch pattern. It’s one of the few stitch patterns that looks good with variegated yarns and in both moderately “fluffy” fibers like mohair and smooth yarns. Although it initially looks complicated, you will quickly get into the rhythm. I’ll try to get a swatch picture up as soon as possible. The shop samples made from this pattern were all quickly snapped up in the shop closing sale!

Materials

You need 100 or more yards of a either a bulky, worsted or mohair yarn. For an interesting warm scarf, choose a varigated bulky such as Artful Yarns Shakespeare, Rowan Chunky Print or Manos del Uruguay Multiprint. For a lacier look, select a lighter, softer yarn such as Rowan Kid Classic, Jaeger Mohair Art or Crystal Palace Merino Frappé.

Scarf Pattern

Loosely cast on 26 stitches.

Knit 2 rows garter stitch for border.

Repeat the lacy knot pattern stitch until you have just enough yarn to complete 2 final rows of garter stitch and bind off or scarf is the length desired.
