Ogee Lace Scarf
Design by Susanna IC
This design is based on the fabulous Ogee Lace Skirt by
Gryphon Perkins from the Summer 07 issue of Interweave
Knits. The Lana Grossa yarn used for the original scarf has
been discontinued; however, there are many great ribbon yarns
available that can be easily substituted possibly with only
minimal changes in needle size. Some examples are Rowan
Bamboo Tape or Berroco Linen Jeans for light and airy summer
look, Louisa Harding Kimono Ribbon and Colinette Giotto for an
opulent splash of color, and even Berroco Suede for a cooler
weather scarf with a wonderful drape.
The construction of this scarf calls for grafting at the center to
maintain symmetry, so it is important that both halves are
knitted to end on the same RS row of the lace pattern even if
this is different than specified in the directions below. When
about half of the total yardage is knitted up, make note of the
row number and then knit the second section the same length.
Finished Size: 7” wide and 56” long
Yarn: Lana Grossa Nabuk (100% microfiber ribbon; 110 yards / 50 grams);
color #6, 3 skeins
Needles: Size 11 / 8.0 mm
Notions: Stitch holder
Scarf
For the first half of the scarf cast on 41 stitches, work the lace chart until approximately half of the
yarn (1.5 skeins) is knitted up, end with row #27. Do not cast off, place stitches on a stitch holder or
secure them on a spare knitting needle. Repeat the same process for the second half, again ending
with row #27 of the lace pattern. With the right sides facing up, align both halves at the center and
graft the scarf together.
Finishing
Weave in all loose ends. Block, if desired.
