A lovely vine lace stitch pattern is reimagined when worked at an angle. The resulting angled rectangle shape works up beautifully into a scarf, shawl, and then some!

Knit up the scarf version in a striking color of fingering-weight yarn, as shown. Or knit a mini scarf (image on next page) using leftover yarn as an accent for your tote or handbag, a small scarf, or a hair tie.

While this versatile pattern includes instructions for the mini scarf and scarf, you could easily use the lace for a wider scarf or shawl (or even a gorgeous table runner!) by casting on additional repeats. With the lace charted and written out, it’s easy to do.

Choose a fingering-weight yarn that is loosely plied and has a little loft to it, like the merino wool yarns shown here, for the best results on the larger needle size.

The mini scarves make fabulous gifts and are quicker projects allowing you to use up those remnants of gorgeous kettle dyed yarn you may have left over from larger projects. The scarf uses less than one hank of the fingering-weight yarn, making it also a budget-friendly project.

FINISHED KNIT MEASUREMENTS: approx 2 ¾ (6 ¼)“ / 7 (16) cm x 27 (70)” / 68.5 (178) cm.

Mini scarf shown in: madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light (100% Merino Wool); 4 oz/113 g; 420 yds/384 m per hank: less than 1 hank in Color Night Bloom.
Scarf shown in: Purl Soho Line Weight (100% Merino Wool); 3.5 oz/100 g; 494 yds/452 m per hank: 1 hank in True Turquoise. NOTE: this yarn is actually considered a light fingering-weight, but because it is loosely plied, it has a bit of loft that allows it to be knit on the larger needle size.
