Thornbush Scarf (Mini and Full Size)

Product Description

I designed this scarf because I wanted to try the mini-scarf trend. But the lace was too good, it needed to go on a full sized scarf as well. So, you get both a mini and a full size version to experiment with! Use sock and mohair yarn held together for the full size and just one of the yarns for the mini version. A sock weight mini-scarf will be thicker and a bit more substantial than the airy mohair/brushed alpaca version. Tie your hair up, put it on your purse, or wear the mini version around your neck.

This design is worked from end to end. You’ll cast on and immediately begin increases and lace motifs. Once the work is the desired width, you will work repeats of the lace chart until the work measures the desired length. Finally, you’ll continue to decrease in the pattern and bind off.
