ERICA | scarf

The ERICA scarf is a small, lightweight triangular shawl featuring a lace pattern. Its simple, feminine design makes it ​​a timeless companion—perfect for every day, every season, and every outfit. The shawl is knitted in rows, starting from the tip with increases on both sides. The pattern is a floral lace pattern (7 stitches wide, over 8 rows), which repeats at regular intervals. At the end, the edge is worked in seed stitch. For the seed stitch edge on the two shorter sides of the shawl, stitches are picked up along the edges. The shawl can be worn once around the neck with a knot, or twice and left open. Flexible customisation of the ERICA shawl: using thicker, thinner or fluffier yarns results in a correspondingly larger, lighter or warmer shawl. **LANGUAGES**: German, English **DIFFICULTY LEVEL**: Intermediate/Advanced **TECHNIQUES USED**: Increases, decreases, lace pattern, seed stitch, picking up stitches along the knitted section.
