Tumbling Block Lace SCarf

How often do you get to make a five-foot-long scarf with only 26 rows? Here we see what happens when we cast on 278 stitches, then settle into an angular tumbling blocks lace pattern.

The amazing thing? When you’ve finished one repeat of the stitch pattern—26 rows of yarnovers and decreases—you’re done.

Instructions are for two versions, one in light fingering weight yarn and one in aran weight yarn.
