lettuce leaf scarf

Pattern: Lettuce Leaf Scarf - graciously created by Janice Lynn

You can find the free pdf pattern including a nice little lace chart here or under freebie patterns above.

Yarn: approx 400 yards of fingering weight yarn – I used one skein of Madeline Tosh

sock in the Lettuce Leaf colorway

Size: 9.25” by 54.5” after blocking (there are also instructions for a full sized triangle shawl)

Gauge: 6.5 sts and 9 rows in stockinette to 1 inch

Needles: US size 1 (2.25 mm) or 2 (2.75 mm) or size to obtain gauge.

I have been wearing this scarf all week but have yet to get a good public display shot of it.

The garter ribbing at the ends of the scarf was added as I could not get the swatch to block and lay properly without the ends curling under. I have admired the clapotis patterning from afar for so long for it's bias patterning and this eyelet pattern seemed to be a nice lace alternative and a perfect use for sock yarn. The chart was easy to memorize and made for very cozy netflix knitting.

Enjoy.

Lovely. I'd love to make this scarf but when I download the pattern, the text is all garbled. Is it just me?

Thank you so much for posting this pattern! It's lovely, and I'm looking forward to knitting it! It's always fun to knit not-socks with sock yarn.

HI..I know this pattern has been up for quite awhile..I am a somewhat beginner knitter but do know quite a bit about it..I just purchased my Madelintosh sock yarn for this project..When I get to Row 1 and read the pattern as I think..I'm running out of stitches at the end..For the stitches in the parenthesis it says to repeat 8 times more) Well, I think I am following it correctly but like I said I'm running out of stitches..I knit 1, ssk, go straight to a yo, knit 2, another yo, k2tog, k2) and then repeat 8 times..right?? I feel like I"m losing my mind...:) Maybe there is a knitting trick I am not getting?? Please help if you can!! Thanks soo much..
