Aragem Scarf & Shawl Designed by Susanna IC
Knitting Pattern Specifications Designed for cool summer evenings and air-conditioned offices, Aragem features an elegant and modern lace pattern perfect for an easy, yet interesting knitting project. The wrap is presented in two shapes: a lightweight scarf and a crescent shawl. The scarf is worked seamlessly from a temporary cast on to both ends, starting with simple openwork pattern and ending with wide textured lace edgings. The crescent shawl is worked from the top down, beginning with a set of simple garter stitch short rows and ending with the deep beaded border. The lace borders are very easy to knit using only basic stitches; knitters may choose to omit the beads for a simpler version that is every bit as stunning.

Micaela Scarf Designed by Felecia O’Connell
Knitting Pattern Specifications Colors, textures, and shapes found in nature often inform my design choices, and when warm weather approaches, my mind tends to wander towards the sea. Sea Fans are a fragile type of soft coral found in warm shallow waters. Their vibrant colors and flattened, branching, feathery fronds were my inspiration for this scarf.
