The Codebreaker Scarf is a simple and fun geometric lace shawl with a seemingly random pattern. However the stitches actually contain a hidden message. The project is worked on the bias from one end to the other, creating a parallelogram shape. A series of eyelets worked along one edge creates a mesh-like fabric on half of the shawl, and the other side of the project is solid garter stitch. The project is well suited for adventurous beginners or intermediate knitters who are comfortable with increases (Yarn Over), decreases (K2 together, slipped stitches and beginner lace work. You may choose to encode your own message, or pick the number of eyelets in each row randomly. I’ve included the specific instructions for the same encoded message that I used in my project, but if you want to know what my scarf says, you’ll have to solve the puzzle yourself!
