Item# 75

This delicate lace scarf is designed with a knitted lace pattern stitch where the silhouette of yarn over eyelets is reminiscent of maple leaves. The attractive textured lace border is knit at the same time as the center area of maple leaves. Thus, the knitting is done entirely from end-to-end in one piece with no picked up stitches or seams to sew.

Knit this short ascot-like scarf and wear a heart on your heart. The knitted lace mesh simulates the look of filet lace crochet or darned netting, but is actually knitted. A boldly outlined heart motif at each of end of the scarf is set against the background of lace mesh.

Let this decorative woven dish towel find its way into your kitchen. Linen is special in a practical way. The naturally anti-bacterial fibers dry quickly, resist mildew and keep germs at bay. Approx 20" x 28".
