Stahman’s Seaman Scarf “Peter”

in lace scarf,Myrna Stahman

First of a few gift projects I have planned. I love Myrna Stahman’s book Stahman’s Shawls and Scarves

This is called “The Peter” seaman’s scarf. I think it’s a bit too pretty for someone by that name, but whatever.

It’s a perfect mix of cable and lace knitting.  The neck part is a 4 x 4 rib that scrunches up to fit nicely around the back of a neck.

Scarf

The Particulars…

  • Yarn: Cascade Lana D’Oro – superfine alpaca and wool – approximately 230 yards.
  • Needles: Size 7
  • Gauge: In the neighborhood of 5 sts per inch.

I agree definitely too pretty for some named Peter, maybe a patricia.

Very lovely. I made the February Sweater last year with merino–NEVER doing gull stitch again! Yours is much lacier than mine and very pretty. Happy Friday!
