Dragon Lace Scarf - OOAK - Wedding

Description

This is my latest offering - another lace scarf, romantic and elegant and with a definite Spring theme. The weather might not look much right now, but Spring is coming. Definitely. :-)

I wanted to make a versatile scarf that would go with almost anything and that was light and could be worn in lots of different ways. This scarf is long enough to be worn just with a single loose knot or with a big bow. It can also be worn wrapped around your neck twice. Either way it looks like Spring around your neck.

The main part of the scarf has been knitted in a lace pattern that reminded me of a dragon's scales in the pale green Habu silk; the lace at the bottom is crocheted in a web pattern in a a lovely soft cream linen and silk mix. I have also used the cream linen/silk mix for the edging around the main (green) part of the scarf. Habu moiree paper linen and Habu steel covered with moss green wool knitted in a vine along the ends of the scarf separates the main scarf from the lace at the bottom and adds texture and an organic feel. The flower on each end has been knitted with a mix of three of the yarns used with 2 buttons in the centre of each flower creating a focal point.

The scarf is ca. 1.86m (73") long and so soft and light.

There is a matching pair of fingerless gloves in my shop (shown at the bottom) which would turn it into a perfect ensemble for a wedding or other big occasion.

Buy the scarf and fingerless gloves together and save 5% of the total. Refund will be given via PayPal.
