In Calsada, garter stitch rectangles alternate with lace to produce this feminine shoulder scarf, giving it the look of paving stones, or calsada as they are known in Portuguese. The edging combines with garter stitch short rows to create a graceful crescent-shaped arc and give the scarf depth at the back of the neck.

Calsada comes in one size, and the pattern includes both written and charted instructions, along with a schematic for blocking to finished size.

For the adventurous intermediate knitter.
