It's finished! The Dandelion Lace Scarf pattern design, inspired by this beautiful field of dandelions. Who could resist? Read more about the inspiration here.
The scarf design is blocked, measured, photographed and published. The pattern is available at Knitting Buzz Designs on Ravelry.com. My blocked version almost looks like the field of dandelions, right? Maybe if you squint. LOL.
It's knit with the gorgeous yarn from Alisha Goes Around, Richness of Martens Fingering weight, 75% Fine Superwash Merino Wool, 15% Cashmere, 10% Silk in colorway: Trick Goldfish. I thought the color was a perfect match for the inspiration, but I think it would look good in any color. It looks good in both hand-dyed yarns, as well as solid colors.
Its a very easy pattern ..... practically a piece 'a cake.
I had so much fun knitting it, that I have already started another in pink.
this pattern will also look great using other yarn weights. I am thinking about doing it in a lace weight shawl in white (I think it would look like the dandelion seed puff after the wind has caught it and disbursed the seedlings) and a whimsical afghan/blanket. Needle size details for other weights are included in the pattern.
More later...... Happy Knitting!!!
