one row lace scarves in handspun

Awhile back, I saw a lovely lace scarf on Wool Winder's blog ~ the One Row Lace Scarf.  When I needed an easy take-along project, something I could pick up and put down at a moment's notice, this pattern came to mind.  So I packed some yarn I'd spun (here, here and here) and the quick and easy pattern for my recent trip to Arizona (and back again.)

I knit until the yarn ran out, so the scarves vary in length.

The widths vary a bit too.  The yarns were different in weight, but I used the same US #10 needles on all three.


And here are the modifications I used:
  • 24 stitches cast on
  • began and ended with k four rows
  • substituted ssk for k2tog
  • wyif, slipped first stitch on every row as if to purl

This makes the perfect beginning lace project.  An easy pattern with only one row to memorize.  Looks far more complicated than that, doesn't it!?!
