Argosy Scarf in handspun Corriedale
Argosy was a great pattern for my slightly tweedy stripey handspun. It’s funny that, as a somewhat experienced lace knitter, I kept outsmarting myself when I cast on, and took a couple of tries to get the pattern set. Once established though, this is very easy knit.
Mods:
I added an extra increase to make the scarf wider since my fingering weight yarn is a little lighter than the pattern’s DK or sport weight. But, I didn’t knit as many repeats as I didn’t want a six-foot scarf. I blocked it fairly strongly to open the lace.
I had plenty of help with the photos
