Lace Leaves Scarves

HeartStrings knitting pattern #H38

Lace Leaves includes an appealing beginner lace scarf plus a follow-on advancing skills project. You'll enjoy knitting one or both of these companion scarves featuring interlinked lace leaves. You might even think about making one for a friend and keep the other for yourself.

The narrow Lace Leaves Scarf is knitted from end to end in one piece. It makes up quickly and will be a nice treat for those on your gift list, or even yourself.

The longer wider version of Lace Leaves Scarf has shaped ends and is knitted in two pieces, then joined at the middle by an easy method that does not require grafting. The resulting seam is invisible to all but the most discerning eye.
