Juliette Scarf

As light as a whisper, this scarf can be worn draped loosely or wrapped around a few times and tied with a gentle knot.

The border is constructed with an open texture that resembles a diagonal basket weave while the interior of the piece is stockinette.

The Juliette Scarf is one of my most recent patterns available through yarn shops, published by Swans Island.

One skein of Swans Island Lace yarn and a bit of easy-peasy lace gets the job done!

Anna Cowl Preview - Swans Island Pattern Collection

I have 3 designs in the new Swans Island pattern collection coming out later this summer. My favorite is the Anna Cowl - a lovely loop knit up in garter stitch and a simple scalloped lace pattern. The Swans Island Certified Organic Merino Worsted is lovely to work with and the finished product is BEYOND soft and drapey.
