Shilshole Lace Scarf #L1220

Named for a Seattle bay, this reversible scarf was inspired by a 6-row scalloping lace in Barbara Aytes' 1968 book Adventures in Knitting. Elongated stitches are created on Row 1 with yarn-overs that are dropped on Row 2. Directions give three widths and all look great in fuzzy fingering and lace weight yarns, such as Icelandic wool and mohair.

Pattern includes both written instructions and charts.
