CONSTRUCTION
The scarf is worked in two symmetrical parts from the center provisional cast-on out. The narrower section that wraps around the neck is worked in a simple eyelet pattern, then it widens with two rows of increases to form the lace edgings that end in two-color waves. A border in contrast color is worked all around the scarf.
