A few years ago, I thought it would be interesting to do lace stitches in a random manner. It turned out that it also looked gorgeous on a finished object (see Random Lace Scarf).

I was reminded of this idea when I was asked to give a workshop on random lace … so I thought that I might as well do it again in order to get an idea back into my head :)

So here is a combination of random lace with simple garter stitch - i.e. a mix of two very different textures.

The important thing about random lace is … it’s random. That’s why the instructions don’t give exact stitch sequences. So, this is not a standard knitting pattern with stitch-by-stitch and row-by-row instructions but rather an invitation to try out an idea for a (really) unique scarf.
