The Design
“Weightless lace.”
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 part for the more experienced. Follow our recipe or vary the amount of each stitch to taste.
We knit this version of our Lace Sampler Scarf in mYak —a delicate, lace-weight yarn tailor-made for accessories like this! Two plies of baby yak down are gently twizzled together, creating a yarn that’s warmer than sheep’s wool and as soft as cashmere. Heathered earth tones, rich neutrals, and saturated colors round out Baby Yak Lace’s color palette—soothing, naturally processed, and oh, so handsome!
