A lace scarf knit with Swift River Farm Enfield Shetland/Silk yarn (available from www.swiftriverfarm.com). Based on Myrna Stahman’s adaptation of traditional Seamen’s neck scarves first knitted for men serving in the Spanish-American War. The story of this 100-year-old tradition, as well as many scarf and shawl designs, are found in Stahman’s Shawls and Scarves (Rocking Chair Press, 2000).
