Paige Scarf Knitting Pattern by Debbie Bliss – A Delicate Lace Scarf in Angel Yarn

The Paige Scarf is an elegant, lightweight knitting pattern designed for women, published by Debbie Bliss. This downloadable PDF pattern produces a beautifully elongated scarf measuring approximately 16 x 168 cm (6¼ x 66 inches), making it a generously long accessory that can be draped, wrapped, or tied in multiple ways. The design is classified as intermediate in difficulty, making it a rewarding project for knitters who have moved beyond the basics and are ready to explore the graceful world of lace knitting.

Design Overview

The Paige Scarf is a single-piece accessory worked in a lace stitch pattern, creating an airy, delicate fabric that is perfectly suited to the gossamer-weight yarn used. The finished scarf has a refined, feminine aesthetic, with the lace detailing adding visual texture and elegance without excessive bulk. Its slender width and impressive length make it a versatile wardrobe addition, equally at home dressed up or worn casually.

Materials Required

Yarn

• Debbie Bliss Angel – a lace weight yarn, used in two colourways for this pattern
• White 001 (A) – one 25g ball
• Lime 012 (B) – one 25g ball

Debbie Bliss Angel is a signature lace weight yarn known for its incredibly fine, halo-like quality. It is a luxurious blend that creates a soft, cloud-like fabric with beautiful drape — ideal for delicate accessories such as this scarf. Because the yarn quantities listed are based on average requirements and are therefore approximate, it is important to work to the correct tension before beginning the project.

Needles

• A pair of 5mm (US 8) knitting needles

It is worth noting that 5mm needles are relatively large for a lace weight yarn, and this is a deliberate choice. Working a fine yarn on larger needles opens up the stitch structure, creating the light, open, and drapey fabric characteristic of lace knitting. This combination of Debbie Bliss Angel and 5mm needles gives the Paige Scarf its signature airy quality.

Tension

The stated tension for this pattern is 18 stitches and 23 rows to a 10 cm / 4-inch square, measured over stocking stitch using 5mm (US 8) needles. As with all knitting patterns, achieving the correct tension is essential to producing a finished scarf that matches the stated dimensions. Knitters are strongly advised to work a tension square before casting on. If your tension square has too many stitches over 10 cm, your knitting is tight and you should move to a larger needle size. If there are too few stitches, your knitting is loose and you should switch to a smaller needle. Debbie Bliss does not accept responsibility for the finished product if any yarn other than the one specified is used.

Techniques Used

• Lace knitting – The primary decorative technique used throughout the scarf, creating an open, patterned fabric through the strategic use of yarn overs and decreases
• Worked flat – The scarf is knitted flat on a pair of straight needles, meaning it is worked back and forth in rows rather than in the round
• Stocking stitch (St st) – Referenced as the basis for the tension measurement, indicating that stocking stitch forms part of the fabric construction

Stitches Used

• Lace stitches – Yarn overs and corresponding decreases that form the decorative open-work pattern central to this design
• Stocking stitch – A classic knitting stitch formed by alternating knit rows and purl rows when working flat, providing a smooth, V-shaped fabric surface

About Lace Knitting

Lace knitting is a technique that uses yarn overs — wrapping the yarn around the needle to create a deliberate hole or eyelet — paired with decreases to maintain the stitch count
