Fringed and fabulous, the different lace details of this scarf are truly stunning. Its intricate design is enhanced by the combination of two lightweight yarns: a fingering weight wool/silk blend and a cotton metallic laceweight. On their own, each yarn has special qualities, but together, they really shine!

Boccioli (blossoms in Italian) is an infinity scarf worked sideways to the desired length, followed by some grafting. Its boldest feature is in its simple lacework that’s enlivened by small bobbles in a contrasting, yet delicate, color. The lace pattern resembles the leaves of Italian heirloom zucchini, with flowers on the top of some branches, each one presented in different lengths to mimic a natural flowering pattern. The design has intentionally a vintage feel, reminiscent of old-hand embroidery with its small bobbles integrated in the lace stitches and the use of a color choice with mild contrasts.

Get cozy in a dramatic way with this warm, bulky cowl. The structure of this stunning, yet simple pattern should get you noticed in the best way possible. This fluffy felt yarn was my most delighted choice for the big bobble motive to take the bobbles to extremes. This cowl can be knitted bottom up in rounds or in rows and sewn together in the end. The pattern offers both ways, so you can choose the way you prefer it the most.
