This sweet scarf uses a modified dragonfly-lace pattern with zero-cabling (a smocked set of sts repaces the cables) and a neat, icord edging.  

Designed for a single skein of Miss Babs’ Billow yarn, you can substitute another fluffy yarn (fingering + mohair held together, for example) as long as you match gauge.  

Written for 2 sizes, the scarf can be easily lengthened or shortened further by adding or subtracting the number of repeats worked in the pattern.

Gauge:23.5 sts & 28 rows (blocked)/4” in the full pattern (dragonfly lace + the icord edges). Note that the scarf is just under 4" wide (22 sts across), so gauge is calculated from that. Really, it's a good idea to use the scarf itself as a swatch since it's a small project.  

Materials: 1 skein of of Miss Babs Billow (320 yds/100 g, shown in Slate on p. 1 and in Bougainvillea above), or

(150) 175 yds of the MC, of DK or light-worsted yarn.

A 24” **size 7 (4.5 mm)** circular needle or size needle required to achieve gauge,

A tapestry needle, and a double pointed needle (for bind off).

**Finished Measurements:** Approximately 3.75” wide and 48(60)” from tip to tip after blocking.
