"Felicity Scarf" - Scarf Knitting Pattern For Women in Willow & Lark Plume

Felicity Scarf – One Ball Lace Scarf Knitting Pattern by Willow & Lark

The Felicity Scarf is a beautifully romantic, lightweight lace scarf knitting pattern for women, part of the The Wonder Collection by Willow & Lark. Designed to showcase the ethereal quality of mohair and silk yarn, this pattern proves that a single ball of yarn is all you need to create something truly intricate and impressive. The finished scarf measures 15 cm (6 in) wide and 111 cm (43¾ in) long, making it an elegant, wearable accessory suitable for a wide range of occasions.

What Is Being Made

The Felicity Scarf is a delicate, textured lace scarf worked entirely from one ball of Willow & Lark Plume yarn. It combines two distinct lace elements — a lace triangle edging and a trellis lace stitch — to produce a fabric that is both visually intricate and satisfyingly tactile. The halo created by the mohair content softens the lace structure, giving the finished piece a dreamy, romantic quality that is characteristic of mohair-blend knitting.

Techniques Used

• Lace knitting: The pattern incorporates two lace elements working in harmony. Lace knitting typically involves a series of yarn-overs paired with decreases to create deliberate holes and geometric shapes within the fabric. Here, the trellis lace stitch forms the main body of the scarf, creating an open, lattice-like texture.
• Lace triangle edging: A shaped edging technique that adds a decorative, pointed border to the scarf, elevating the finished look beyond a simple rectangular panel.
• 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. This is the traditional construction method for scarves and allows the lace pattern to be clearly read from the right side of the work.

Stitches Used

• Trellis lace stitch: A repeating lace pattern that creates an open, diagonal or grid-like structure across the body of the scarf, adding depth and visual interest.
• Lace triangle edging: A stitch pattern used to form the decorative pointed border, worked as part of the overall construction of the scarf.
• Standard lace techniques including yarn-overs and decreases, which are the building blocks of all lace knitting.

Materials and Tools

• Yarn: Willow & Lark Plume — a luxurious lace-weight yarn composed of 70% Mohair and 30% Silk, available in 25g (0.9oz) balls. Only 1 ball is required for this project. Suggested colourways include Barley (303), Pearl, Berberis (316), and Red.
• Needles: One pair of 3.25mm (UK 10 / US 3) straight knitting needles, or the size needed to achieve the correct tension.
• Tension: 27 stitches and 40 rows to 10cm (4in) measured over pattern using 3.25mm needles.

Difficulty Level and Ideal Knitter

The Felicity Scarf is rated as an intermediate pattern, making it a rewarding project for knitters who are already comfortable with the basics and are ready to develop their lace skills. The pattern description notes that it is a "satisfying challenge to knit," suggesting that while the lace techniques require attention and focus, the result is well worth the effort. Knitters should be familiar with reading lace charts or written lace instructions, working yarn-overs, and executing various decrease methods before beginning. The compact size of the finished scarf — requiring only one ball of yarn — also means that the project remains manageable even for those who are newer to lace work.
