Jamboree is a crisp lace accessory that can be knit in a variety of yarn weights, gauges and sizes to suit your preference. Utilising an easily remembered eight row pattern, there’s plenty going on to keep your interest, but the pattern is easy enough for TV knitting without having to pay too much attention.

The stitch pattern creates a snug and cosy textured accessory, but a hard blocking works its magic and opens the lace out, giving a multifunctional light and airy finished accessory that can be worn anytime, anywhere in casual or formal situations, and everywhere in between.

Instructions are provided in both written and charted format, in two sizes (scarf/wrap) and the pattern is written for fingering weight yarn, but can be knit in any weight yarn (note that if you do this the total yarn required will vary from that stated in the pattern).
