This is a free downloadable pattern, knit end to end along the long axis. It is pretty easy for lace, but the directions assume you know something about knitting lace, you might be a bit lost if you haven't done it before--get a lace knitter friend for a tutorial! The knitting itself is very easy once you understand how the lace works. Before blocking is is very narrow and looks a little like a rat's tail. You can do all kinds of things with the shape with blocking if you use a yarn with at least 50% wool. This used a light fingering weight yarn in a multi-green colorway, from whites to deep blue-green. Not my favorite colorway, I find anything with white in it i don't like, it doesn't suit my coloring and tends to stand out too starkly against the other shades. So I used it for this little scarf to see if the greens and white would look like light flashing on leaves, it works better than the other very lacey pattern I tried it on. It's ok; I probably won't make this pattern again.
