Colette is named after Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette. She was a French author best known for her novella Gigi.
The Colette Scarf is worked from one tip to the other. The scarf is knitted in the simple cable and lace pattern. The edges are knitted with slipped stitches that look like an i-cord. The scarf comes in three sizes, all suitable for adventurous beginners. The length of the scarfs can easily be modified. Just keep adding more pattern repeats for a longer or a wider scarf.
The Colette scarf matches my Colette tee pattern.

Yarn
Note: The pattern uses a strand of fingering weight yarn held together with a strand of lace weight yarn, but they can be substituted for a single strand of DK weight yarn. If you wish to work a DK weight version, omit all the instructions where it says “hold the yarns together” and follow only the yarn amount requirements for the fingering weight yarn.
