Serena Scarf

> Introducing the Serena Scarf > > Inspired by a stitch I’ve carried > since childhood. > > Many of you already know how much I > love crochet details. The little > scalloped edging on the Serena Top is > one of my favourites, and it is one I > learned as a little girl. > > Of course, you can find this stitch in > crochet dictionaries and stitch > collections, but that is not how I > know it. I learned it by heart as a > child, and after all these years my > hands still remember it. There is > something very different about making > a stitch from memory rather than > looking it up in a book. To me, it > feels less like a stitch pattern and > more like a small piece of my > childhood. > > After finishing the Serena Top, I kept > imagining that same detail on a > scarf—something simple, soft, and > quick to make, with a touch of > romance. The Serena Scarf grew from > that idea: a small project inspired by > a memory that has stayed with me all > these years. > > Light, cozy, and easy to wear, it is > the perfect little project for a quiet > afternoon of knitting or to take along > on your summer adventures. > > I hope you enjoy knitting it as much > as I enjoyed designing it. **YARN** **MC** Emilia & Philomene Leona (Lace Weight; 72% Mohair, 28% Silk; 400 m / 437 yds per 50 g), 1 skein Or 400 m of any Lace Weight Silk Mohair yarn **CC** Approx 200 m / 220 yds of Lace Weight Silk Mohair yarn in a contrasting colour **NEEDLES** 3.5 mm (US 4) circular needle 32” / 80 cm **Notions** tapestry needle 3.0 mm crochet hook **Finished Size** 25” / 63.5 cm tall by 44” / 111 cm wide, after blocking.
