Rules for Feeding the Stash

Free Pattern: Lettie


Lettie is an easy and quick colorblock scarf that is easily adaptable to any yarn or size. A simple 2-row, 2-stitch repeat makes up the garter-based eyelet pattern that hides the color change and is attractive on both sides.

The sample is worked in two skeins of Cascade Yarns Pima Tencel, which is sadly discontinued. Similar substitutes would beFable Handknit Cotton Tencel or Knit Picks Shine Worsted for a lightweight summer scarf.
