Reclaimed Cashmere Lacy Scarf
Designed by Beverly Vasquez
The
name of the pattern is a bit of a misnomer in this case,
because I knit it out of Misti Alpaca Tonos Worsted. I loved
knitting this scarf – and I didn't pick the yarn or pattern. First
of all, I have never met an alpaca I didn't love. It's soft, smooth
and feels great on your hands when you knit it. My first project out
of an alpaca yarn ruined me for cheap acrylic yarn for life!
But, more about the pattern, which comes from Luxury Yarn One Skein-Wonders. This is
one of those bonus patterns that looks complicated but is actually
fairly simple. In fact, I would recommend this pattern to someone
who hasn't done much lace. There are only 3 different rows of
instructions, and 2 of them are all knits and purls. The end result
is a pretty lace and the way the decreases are spaced, they give a
“mock-cable” look. It was very satisfying and knit quickly. The
pattern said to knit for 40” which is “long enough” but I kept
going until I ran out of yarn so mine is slightly longer (44").
An added bonus to this pattern is that it looks good on both the "right" side (the left photo below) and the "wrong" side (right photo).
