Spes Scarf

THIS KNITTING PATTERN IS A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD IN PDF FORMAT AND IN ENGLISH ONLY!

Spes was the ancient Roman goddess of hope.

The Spes scarf is worked from one tip to the other. It is knitted in a classic feather and fan lace pattern. The edges are knitted with slipped stitches that look like an i-cord. The length of the scarf can easily be adjusted— simply add more pattern repeats for a longer or a wider scarf.

The Spes Scarf pattern was originally published in my book Summer Knits.
