Valencia Scarf

I originally called this the “zig zag scarf” because of the geometric nature of the lace pattern. Once I saw a photo of some roofs from the corner of Valencia Street and 24th Street (Mission District) of San Francisco, I changed the name of the pattern to Valencia.

Pattern contains both written and charted instructions.
