This knitting project is quick, lacy and fairly easy. I will call it the Weekend Scarf. You know….because it’s a good knitting project for the weekend….

While I absolutely love nupps, I can totally understand you may not be too keen on it. So, you can replace all nupp stitches with knit stitch if you want. However, I must say, you will miss out on the pattern this way.

If you like this scarf then you might like my Solitaire Shawl. (with no nupps whatsoever)

You’ll need:

• 150g / 573 yards fine yarn – I used DROPS Baby Merino
• Pair of long needles 3mm / US 3

Abbreviations: see below on chart key

Workflow:

Cast on 51 sts.

Step 1: Knit first row and work the Star pattern A (rows 1 to 47).

Step 2: Work the lace pattern B (rows 1 to 12) and work 12 rows of Stockinette stitch (k on RS and p on WS knitting first 5 and last 5 stitches).

Repeat step #2 12 times total and work the lace pattern B.

Step 3: Knit 1 row (on RS) and work the Star pattern A.

Cast off.

Hide in yarn ends and block.
