This pattern was originally published as a blog post, but I've taken it down and created a more manageable pdf in its place. This pdf version has been rewritten, and stitches and stitch counts revised.

Enjoy!

Finished Size: Depends on the amount of yarn and needles used. You can make a larger shawl for warmth or a smaller shawl, a shawlette, to drape around the neck. For a shawlette, use lightweight yarn and small needles.

Yarn: At least 350 yards / 320 m of yarn. A lightweight yarn creates an ethereal shawl, a heavier weight yarn creates a cozy shawl. The yarn I used was a gift from a friend, hand-dyed in subtle blues and purples. I believe the base yarn was Henry's Attic mohair.

Needles: Needles appropriate to your selected yarn. This is a matter of personal preference. Smaller needles yield smaller holes; bigger needles create airiness.

Notions: Waste yarn, 4 stitch markers, tapestry needle.

Gauge: N/a. With a variet of needles, knit 6-8 rows of stockinette with a row of yarnovers and decide how open you want your shawl to be.

Required skills: Knit, purl, provisional cast on.

I've added the scarf pattern to my sidebar. I've also renamed it, for Liesel, who asked in the first place. I rather like her name! This is an easy lace scarf that can be knit in less than a day, and is a great stashbuster for those single skeins. It can be worked in various weights of yarn, from worsted down to laceweight. Worsted yields a very contemporary soft, chunky scarf, whereas laceweight yields a traditional delicate, airy scarf. For Liesel I used worsted. Try using 1 pattern repeat for a skinny scarf; add more pattern repeats for a wider scarf, perhaps 5 or so for a stole.

Size: One size fits all.

Yarn: 1 ball TLC Cara Mia (50% Acrylic, 19% Nylon, 18% Rayon, 13% Angora; 3.5 oz; approximately 210 yd) in #2205 Melon.

Needles: US8 / 5 mm. Adjust needle size to obtain correct gauge.

Gauge: 35 sts (edge sts + pattern) = 6.5" / 16.5 cm. To save time and ensure accurate sizing, check gauge.

Required Skills: Decreases, increases.
