Easy Trellis Lace Scarf

Easy Trellis Lace Scarf
By Annika Barranti
I wanted to offer a pattern to show that lace doesn’t have to be difficult. This four-row pattern is easy to memorize, and very forgiving of mistakes. Can’t remember if row 1 or row 3 comes next? Just pick one. To substitute yarn, be sure to choose needles several sizes larger than recommended.
Finished measurements: Approx. 8″ x 60″
Materials:
Malabrigo Rios – 1 skein
US size 10.5 needles
Gauge:
3 sts = 1 inch in pattern stitch. Gauge is not critical for this pattern.
Instructions:
Cast on 25 stitches using the long tail method. Knit one row.
Begin lace pattern:
Row 1: knit 1, *yo, k2tog* to end
Rows 2 & 4: purl
Row 3: *k2tog, yo* to last stitch, knit 1
Repeat these four rows until you reach the desired length, or until approximately one yard of yarn
remains.
Knit one row. Bind off.
Weave in ends and block to open up the lace pattern.
Enjoy!
