Blaka — Lace Scarf Knitting Kit

Blaka — a small triangular lace scarf by Védís Jónsdóttir from Ístex’s Einband series, knitted from the point up in a single ball of black Einband. The lace chart is Barbara Walker’s charted knitting pattern The Bat, and the two long edges get a row of crocheted chain loops.

Included

• Icelandic Einband wool yarn — one 50 g ball, all the yarn the pattern calls for
• Knitting pattern in English (PDF) — emailed right after purchase
• ADDI knitting needles — only if you choose the kit with needles

Gauge

How it is knitted
Knitted back and forth from 2 stitches at the point, increasing into a triangle while you work the lace chart. The wrong-side rows are plain — purled, or knitted from left to right if you prefer. It is bound off loosely, the two long edges are finished with crocheted chain loops (7 chains, then a single crochet at every other eyelet), and the scarf is blocked by pinning out every loop.

Design: Védís Jónsdóttir — pattern from the Einband series (no. 4), Ístex.

Genuine Ístex lopi — the same wool Icelanders knit with, spun in Iceland from the fleece of Icelandic sheep. No substitutes.
