This is the scarf version of my Rockrose Wrap pattern, designed to use one 100g/400m skein of 4ply weight yarn.

Inspired by blooming flowers, this scarf features a selection of botanical inspired lace patterns including an unusual original lace border using beautiful Estonian lace stitches.

I wanted to play with transitions between different stitch patterns by modifying one pattern to blend into the next to create an interesting knit. None of the stitch patterns has a long repeat so you will quickly get into a satisfying rhythm!

The scarf begins with a provisional cast on at the centre and is then worked outwards in two identical halves, starting with a simple lace pattern reminiscent of leaves, which then transitions smoothly into a gently undulating pattern of petals and finishes with a delicate edging of blooms with a smattering of beads and a picot cast off.

All lace patterns have both charts and written instructions so you can work from whichever you prefer.

Finished size: One size, approx. 26.5cm x 151cm (10.5” x 59.5”) after blocking

Yarn: Posh Yarn Audrey Sock 60% Mulberry Silk, 40% Cashmere, 400m per 100g skein, shade ‘And Rejoice While We May’, 1 skein

Yarn note: Posh Yarn is dyed in one-off, non-repeatable colourways. Posh Yarn Audrey Sock has been discontinued. For a similar effect, I would recommend Posh Yarn Natasha Sock, which has a very similar drape and softness. Ideally, choose a yarn with some silk content (for a nice drape) which will block well.

Needles: 3.75mm (US 5) and 4.0mm (US 6) straight

Notions: Crochet hook in a similar size to needles for provisional cast on, waste yarn, 5 stitch markers (optional), 1.0mm crochet hook for adding beads, 40 beads (size 6 or larger, sample scarf uses size 5 Miyuki Triangles), tapestry needle.

Techniques used (all explained in the pattern): provisional crochet cast on, intermediate lace patterns, beading with a crochet hook.

This pattern has been test knitted and professionally tech edited.
