Named in honour of my maternal grandmother, Clementine, this design combines
yarn overs with both single and two stitch decreases to create the undulating arches that cascade
down the length of the scarf.

Clem is worked in two pieces, allowing the pattern to flow from each cast-on edge towards the centre, where they are grafted together to give the scarf a seamless finish.

As a Stylecraft Ambassador I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to update Clem using Grace, Stylecraft’s an aran-weight blend of wool, mohair and acrylic which gives Clem a more contemporary feel than traditional ‘heirloom’ lace designs.

This version updates the previously listed Sportweight version
