Giant Lace Pattern Scarf

This lace pattern is to the nth power! You definitely won't need those 0000 size needles!

• Large-Eye Blunt Needles

GAUGE:
8 1/2 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) in Lace Stitch. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you less stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
