The Path to Enlightenment

This delicate, light, lace pattern works beautifully to create a summery scarflette accessory. You can use cotton, wool or blends. (I used Merino on the cover project). Once blocked, the piece flows and waves, naturally and beautifully. Wear it as shown, or tie it in the front, or shape it any other way you desire. You can knit it as long as or as short as you’d like. I am calling it The Path to Enlightenment for a couple of reasons. First, as I knit with more and more lace stitches, my mind is opening up to a greater understanding of how they “work,” and I am feeling the same Zen I feel when I work with color. Second, I am using an enlightened form of charting, as I will explain in the pattern. This chart is more intuitive, more straightforward and, candidly, easier to follow than conventional charts.
