Honeycomb Lace Scarf

Christmas Knitting!

Pink one went to the co-leader of the Brownie troop, Mardi Gras one is going to my mother -- when I get a quilt.

Pattern (and charts) as pdf is available on Ravelry.

HONEYCOMB LACE SCARF


This pattern can be worked with any weight of yarn to whatever size is desired.

Yarn: Pink Scarf used 200 yards of fingering weight. Mardi Gras scarf used 150 yards of sport/dk weight.

Gauge: Somewhat irrelevant. Pink scarf had 5 stitches to the inch. Mardi Gras Scarf had 4.

Needle: Pink Scarf used US 7. Mardi Gras Scarf used US size 10.5.

Use a needle size that will get you a loose fabric.

Cast on a multiple of four stitches. 24 stitches were used in the pink scarf, 20 stitches in the Mardi Gras scarf. This is the only math required!

Work in garter stitch (knit every row) for 4 rows.

Decide if the scarf will be stockinette or garter and continue with the appropriate lace pattern.

Stockinette Honeycomb Lace: (shown in Pink Scarf)

Written:

Row 1: K2, (K2tog, YO, YO, K2togtbl) repeat to last two stitches, K2

Rows 2 and 4: K2, purl to last two stitches, K2. For the double YO’s, purl the second YO through the back loop.

Row 3: K2, (YO, K2togtbl, K2tog, YO), repeat to last two stitches, K2

Garter Honeycomb Lace: (shown in Mardi Gras Scarf)

Written:

Row 1: K2, (K2tog, YO, YO, K2togtbl) repeat to last two stitches, K2

Rows 2 and 4: Knit across. For the double YO’s, knit the second YO through the back loop.

Row 3: K2, (YO, K2togtbl, K2tog, YO), repeat to last two stitches, K2


Continue in the lace pattern until the yarn is running out or the scarf has reached the desired length, ending with row 2 or 4. Unless, like me, you get sick of it and want to stop sooner 

Work 4 rows of garter stitch.

Bind off.

Block if desired.
