Queen Anne's Lace Scarf

Today I received a request to clarify one of my hand knitting patterns: Queen Anne's Lace Scarf. Queen Anne's Lace Scarf appeared in Accord Publishing's 2005 Knitting: Pattern-a-day calendar. The pattern incorporates seed stitch with lace. The pattern outlines steps to make lace that are much easier than the usual lace knitting. I learnt this technique during my first year in 4-H. (4-H is a youth group whose goal is to teach skills to pre-teens and teen-agers.) Although, it is a unique technique once learnt it be very easy and quick to master.
Step 1: Cast on stitches.
Step 2: Put tip of working needle into loop.

Step 3: Wrap the yarn around the tip of the working needle once.



Step 4: Wrap the yarn around the tip of the working needle twice.


Step 5: You now have a series of double wrapped stitches. Continue to the end of the row.





Step 6: Put the tip of the working needle through one loop only.




Repeat steps 2 to 6. I hope this clarifies the pattern. If not please let me know: leanne@oknitting.com
Pattern alert: An oknitting.com pattern - Your First Sweater - appears in the Accord Publishing's Knitting: a pattern-a-day calendar tomorrow. Hope you enjoy knitting it.
