Lace Sampler Scarf Using Isager Alpaca 2

The Design “A sampling of soft prettiness.” In one generous scarf, we’ve served up three of our favorite lace patterns. Each motif syncs up beautifully where they transition. Great practice for newer lace knitters—a relaxing walk in the park for the more experienced. Follow our recipe or vary the amount of each stitch to taste. We chose Isager Alpaca 2 for our Lace Sampler Scarf for two reasons—alpaca and wool! The alpaca offers softness, drape, and a bit of haze, while the wool offers substance, strength, and gives memory to your stitches. In other words, perfection—a pleasure to knit with and even more pleasurable to wear! The Details FINISHED SIZE Approx. 18 x 66"/46 x 168cm, after blocking and resting. YARN 4 skeins Isager Alpaca 2 (270 yds/247m each); or approx. 1080 yds/988m of a fingering-weight yarn. Shown in Color E0 Natural White. NEEDLES & NOTIONS US 6 (4.0mm) needles, or size(s) to obtain gauge. Note: You may need a different needle size for each lace motif to achieve correct gauge. See Knitters' Notes. 2 stitch markers. Darning needle to finish. Blocking wires and T-pins. GAUGE Approx. 24 sts/33 rows = 4"/10cm in each lace motif, after blocking and resting. KNITTERS' NOTES Different lace motifs may yield different gauges on the same needle size. We recommend swatching in each lace pattern as instructed in the pattern. Give your swatch plenty of time after drying to rest. Often, lace has a tendency to bounce back. When working with lace patterns, we like to use needles with long, tapered tips to help with decreases. And because it can be easy to miss an increase or decrease, we like to count our stitches often to make sure we're still on track. Digital Lace Sampler Scarf pattern (Download).
