What a difference a multicolored yarn can make! This scarf first appeared in a solid color in our Winter 2008 issue. The blend of Merino and silk brings life to the delicate lace pattern, which is easy to make narrower or wider as you desire. And the best part? The lace is just a one-row repeat. Hello, new travel project!

With a simple shell pattern that evokes frost on a window, this merino lace scarf keeps away the chill. Easily alter the look by crocheting a wider or longer version.
