The Poet scarf has the same wavy lace pattern, familiar from my other Poet designs.

The Poet scarf is a little triangular kerchief that can be worn in multiple ways. It is started at the tip of the scarf, then increased on every right side row until the full width before decreasing your way back to the other tip. The size can easily be modified by adding more pattern repeats for a larger shawl.

The Poet scarf was designed for those odd balls and leftover skeins of fingering weight yarn and mohair we all have in our stashes, but the scarf can also be worked in a single strand of DK weight yarn.

Yarn
Note: The shawl uses a strand of fingering weight yarn held together with a strand of lace weight yarn, but they can be substituted for a single strand of DK weight yarn. If you wish to work a DK weight version, omit all the instructions where it says “hold the yarns together” and follow only the yarn amount requirements for the fingering weight yarn.

225 m / 246 yards of fingering weight yarn and 225 m / 246 yards of lace weight yarn.
