Stolen moments scarf

Easy enough for lace novices, yet satisfyingly quick for
experienced knitters, this generous wrap is cozy, warm,
elegant, and ideal for knitting just a few rows at a time.
The Stolen Moments Wrap uses an easy four-row lace
pattern to create a modern and plush fabric. For the
sample shown, I used a 100% Cashmere yarn; the
height of luxury. But, this pattern showcases almost
any yarn choice.

Choose between the Chunky or Worsted weight ver-
sions, or simply cast on a multiple of 4 stitches plus 3
stitches.

K 2 rows.
On next row, begin main pattern as follows:
Row 1: K2, [yo, SK2P, yo, K1] 8 times, yo, SK2P, yo, K2
Row 2: K2, p35, K2
Row 3: K4, [yo, SK2P, yo, k1] 7 times, yo, SK2P, yo, k4
Row 4: K2, p35, k2
Repeat the last 4 rows until piece measures 47 inches from cast on edge without stretching, or until nearly out
of yarn, ending with Row 1 or 3 of pattern.
K 2 rows.
Loosely cast off.
Finishing:
Sew in any loose ends. I suggest doing a modified wet blocking to help the lace pattern open up and relax.
Soak the shawl in warm water for up to 20 minutes or until saturated. Roll in a towel to remove as much water
as possible, then lay flat to dry. This simulates what will happen when the shawl is washed eventaully, and cre-
ates a more professional finish.
Take a step back, and enjoy your work!
