Brighton
On Sale
£0.00
Welcome to Brighton! This design is worked in single coloured rows on a circular needle which creates an interesting, reversible two tone lace effect with a wonderfully springy texture.
The scarf is not only named in honour of my hometown here in the UK but like many of my designs it celebrates my West Indian heritage as there’s also a Brighton in Barbados. I chose this colour combination because it brings together the warm brown tones of the shingle beach with the bright clear blue of the sea and to add a hint of peril, the scarf is finished at each end with a Shark’s Tooth lace edge.
Skill Level
Advanced beginner upwards however knitters should have some basic knowledge of lace knitting.
Materials
400 m (437 yards) Fingering weight yarn in 2 colours or 200 m (218 yards) or each Col a and Col B.
Sample shown was knitted in a 70% Baby Alpaca 30% silk Fingering blend.
Finished Measurements
Finished scarf measures 18 cm wide x 150 cm long (7 in wide x 59 in long) including edges
Needles
One pair of 3.25 mm (US 3) single point needles
One 60 cm long 3.25 mm (US 3) circular needle
Also Needed
Darning needle for sewing in ends
