what could be more refreshing for a new year knit than a light, lacy scarf that lands around your neck and shoulders as if the wind wrapped you in foam from the sea?

this wide, long scarf piles up in light folds to trap warmth where you need it in the cold days ahead, but will double as a narrow stole once spring steals into the air.

this pattern is perfect for a silky yarn blend with a bit of sheen, that will highlight the changing direction of the stitches in the damask surface.

to accent the quiet repeating pattern of the main panel, there is knockout edging that is sure to grab attention and second glances at every turn.

the lush palm frond edging with beautiful nautilus points further confirms the illusion of foam-edged waves eddying about the shoulders.

as dramatic as it is in this beautiful beach glass colorway, just imagine how that effect would be amped up in a dark color against bare skin . . .

oooh, la la.

shown here in woolen rabbit kashmir, a soft merino/cashmere/nylon 2 ply yarn that is not quite laceweight, not quite fingering weight. the colorway is water study and was featured in the june installment of kim’s yarn club.

many thanks to my friend kim at the woolen rabbit for inviting me to contribute a pattern to her club lineup and for making such a gorgeous colorway that is both quintessential 1920s and exactly what i had envisioned in my head when we talked about the colorway. thank you kim!

  1. I loved this pattern as soon as I saw it released in the Woolen Rabbit club. I can’t believe how quickly time has passed and that you are now releasing it! Sigh! There just aren’t enough knitting hours in the day.

  2. I’ve been eagerly awaiting this one! Already ordered some Kashmir – a gift for my little sister.

  3. Soooo Beautiful Anne! I may have to adjust my knitting plans for this month and knit this lovely! You are amazing! New Years Blessings!

  4. For a change, I am ahead of the curve. This was the first Woolen Rabbit yarn club selection. When it arrived, I was on prednisone and really struggled with it. Perserverance and plenty of tinking and it’s a done deal. This is a fun, fun knit and Anne’s pattern writing is some of the best I’ve ever seen!

  5. Perfect! I have been looking for a pattern to use my 100% mink yarn from Grinning Gargoyle- I think this is it! Thank you for another lovely!

  6. I’m making it now…….first kit of the club and I bagged it away, thinking oh no a shawl but love the pattern and color. Over half finished and so proud of myself! Whoever makes this will love it, Thank you again Anne!
