This is a great scarf for someone new to lace knitting, or a quick project for more experienced knitters. With only one skein of yarn needed, and worked on larger needles you’ll be making one for yourself and all your friends! Perfect for gifts.

Continuing my series of scarves named for female authors I really like, this classic is named for author Isabel Allende, whose work I fell for many, many years ago. I love her magical realism, her use of myth and her complex and strong female characters! If you haven’t read her before you are in for a treat!
