Meet Steppingstones by Amy Swanson.
The name Steppingstones has double meaning for this scarf. First, it denotes the spots of stockinette stitch that interrupt the lace columns in a random looking yet planned way. The name also reflects why this scarf was designed – as a steppingstone for knitters to work with June Cashmere’s fingering weight yarn for the first time. Knit with larger needles, the yarn is worked in a basic lace pattern, resulting in an airy yet warm scarf. Because the lace pattern is basic, it’s also a steppingstone for knitters experimenting with lace for the first time. Knit from just one skein of yarn, this is a relatively quick project that yields a beautiful result, with enough technique interest that knitters of all abilities can enjoy making it.
Shown in color pine, Steppingstones (one size) is knit from 1 skein of our fingering weight cashmere on a US size 6 needle.
