Rhoda's Scarf
Design by Jessica L'Heureux
Sometimes you simply need a scarf to complete your look. By special request,this scarf has been designed to coordinate with the Gracie hat pattern. The pattern begins with a lace edge. Stitches are then picked up for the main body of the scarf featuring a wide cable framed with gooseberry bobbles, worked back and forth to half the desired length. A duplicate half is then knit and the two halves are seamed at the center back. Rhoda, thank you for the inspiration!
