Description

Would you like to try lace doing something small, and if you are feeling a little bit adventurous, add some beads?  Laura Nelkin's Gneiss Scarf is worked tip to tip with a simple lace border going up the straight edge of the scarf. Optional beads are placed at the center of the lace motif (the scarf is lovely without the beads!). The Scarf is written for two sizes and is easily adjustable to make bigger or smaller.

The lace design is offered as both written and charted instructions.  Class will cover how to use both to complete your Gneiss scarf.  Worked in a light fingering weight yarn, the suggested gauge is 18 sts and 24 rows to 4 inches in Garter Stitch, after blocking.

Finished sizes are: Small: Approx. 36 inches [91 cm] long x 8 inches [20 cm] deep Large: Approx. 52 inches [133 cm] long x 11 inches [30 cm] deep
