A long car trip offered ample time to work through the lace chart on the #7 Crescent Shawl. It wasn’t a great project for chitter chattering with family, but I managed survive without needles in my hands.
This scarf lets you practice a Central Double Decrease (they call it S2KP, which still means: slip two stitches together knit wise, k1, pass the 2 st over).
Wish I’d cast on with a longer needle….
The lace pattern is not difficult to follow, but frankly the yarn takes center stage. I think I’ll need only one skein of yarn so…
What about working a feather and fan pattern instead of the lace? You get holes, you get to focus on yarn and the scalloped edge reflects the crescent shape?
I just may try that!
Stay tuned
