Vintage Lace
After having finished the scarves for this pattern quite a while ago, I’ve finally formalized the pattern and am ready to post it. I’m really happy with how these came out. They’re really simple garter stitch scarves, but the border adds a little detail that keeps them from being boring. I will definitely be knitting more of these in the future for gifts.
I’m publishing this as a free pattern on the blog. You can download it from the link at the bottom. There is no gauge or yarn requirement, which makes this a very flexible pattern. You can make the scarves as long or as wide as you want, and the instructions are very simple to memorize.
Scarf 1 was knit in Rowan Felted Tweed, and has become my default winter scarf. It’s incredibly warm and comfortable.
Scarf 2 was knit with Elsebeth Lavold’s Silky Wool, and given to my mother in law for her birthday.
You can download the PDF of the pattern from this link. The pattern is copyrighted, but I’ve given permission to print and distribute it, as long as you don’t make any alterations. I hope you like it! It’s a simple idea but I really enjoy the scarves.

This is super nice. I’ll definitely be making some of these; I just love garter stitch and the border adds just enough specialness to get the oohs and aaahs of handmade things. Thanks for making the pattern available!
