Brittany Scarf

My husband and I have a deep love for the province of Brittany on France's west coast. From my childhood summers spent there to our honeymoon and regular ferry trips from England, this rugged, windswept coastline holds a special place in our hearts. Inspired by the region's cool evenings and breathtaking sunsets, the Brittany Scarf is a perfect lightweight accessory for those unpredictable seaside breezes.

Knit with just one 100g skein of DK-weight yarn, this scarf features a beautiful lattice stitch lace pattern combined with sections of elongated stitches. The pattern highlights the beauty of hand-dyed yarns while also working wonderfully in solid colors. Wear it loosely draped for style, or wrap it around twice for extra warmth.
