| HeartStrings Maple Leaves Lace Scarf Knitting Pattern
(available as either hard-copy or pdf download)
Delicate long rectangular scarf in knitted lace. The silhouette of yarn overs in the main pattern stitch are a reminder of maple leaves, and thus the name.
As with the other lace scarf patterns in the HeartStrings collection, there is a pretty lace border pattern that is knit at the same time as the center lace pattern. Easy to knit on just a few stitches, and enjoyable to wear in a variety of ways.
11" by 60" or length desired. 400 yards of fine yarn, 4 stitches/inch, size US 6 / 4.0 mm needles suggested. Written stitch instructions.
If you are inspired to spin yarn for your scarf, you might want to look up the article "Spanish Moss and Southern 'Belles'", written by Jackie E-S. This article tells the story of making this yarn and the scarf (and also the Chevron Lace Gardens silk blouse) . Published in Winter 1999 issue of Spin-Off from Interweave Press.
