This is a short, very soft and airy neck-scarf, designed to be worn crossed over at the neck of a winter coat or snug-fitting sweater. Pinned with a shawl-pin or brooch, it looks really chic. It does its job of keeping you warm and snug, and, further bonus, it’s great fun to knit.

Kidsilk Haze and Pure Wool 4 ply are held together, other than at the ends where the fluted flounces are knit in Kidsilk Haze only. The Pure Wool is used to cast-off and define the peaks.

The pattern is a form of lace, but it’s not traditional lace in that rather than obvious holes, puffs and bobbles are formed. On the reverse side it looks like a waffle blanket, like the ones used for babies.

The scarf comes in two lengths, neither is very long. The longer version is 105 x 25 cm at widest point including frills. The shorter version is 85 x 20 cm at widest point including frills.
