Ellida Scarf Pattern by Marit - A Zigzag Lace Knitting Project for Beginners and Enthusiasts

Ellida Scarf

by Marit, alias Yarn Jungle This is a pattern for a scarf (or stole) in a zigzag lace pattern that is easy to memorize. You can add a lace edging of your choice to make the scarf even more elegant.

Materials

Choose a soft fingering or lace weight yarn and relatively thick needles in order to get a light and drapey scarf. The gauge is not important and depends on your choice of yarn and needles. For the scarf depicted I used two skeins of thin alpaca wool (160m/50g per skein) and 5.0 mm (US: nr. 8) needles.

Pattern instructions

Cast on 40 stitches on double needles to get an elastic cast-on (for a wider scarf or a stole: add an extra 10 sts for every additional strip of zigzag lace). Knit 4 rows. Proceed with the pattern chart. Work the 10-stitch-repeat the additional times necessary for your scarf. Repeat the entire chart as many times as desired. Then knit 4 rows and bind off loosely. Weave in ends, soak, and block. Enjoy your scarf!
