This pattern was inspired by a really interesting stitch I saw on the internet. I modified it slightly and thought it would look fantastic in a simple scarf!
There is only one stitch – knit – making it my new favorite lazy lace pattern 
An excellent beginner project.
Requires;
-roughly 250 yards dk/light worsted weight yarn (or desired yarn)
-5 mm needles (or suitable needles for your yarn – I used a larger needle than my label called for to get the fabric to drape the way I wanted it to)
k = knit, yo = yarn over
Cast on 34 sts.
Rows 1-8 – knit
Row 9 – knit 10, (yo, k, yo twice, k, yo three times, k, yo twice, k, yo, k6)repeat, end knit 4
Row 10 – knit all stitches, dropping yo’s
Row 11,12 – knit
Row 13 – knit 5, (yo, k, yo twice, k, yo three times, k, yo twice, k, yo, k6)repeat, ending k5 instead of k6
Row 14 – knit, dropping yo’s
Row 15,16 – knit
Repeat Rows 9-16 desired number of times.
End with row 9 or 13 and finish by knitting 8 rows and casting off.
Enjoy! And, if you are so inclined, have a look at my hand spun yarn in my little internet yarn shop. Have a fantastic day!

Beautiful.
Thank you for sharing-this looks like a perfect project to show off my less than perfect handspun yarns!
You’re welcome! I must add, however, each handspun yarn is uniquely perfect
I love your pattern and would like to feature it at our next guild meeting. I would post a picture with a brief description and your blogsite for people to come and download (or with your permission, reformat the pattern and post on our website for our members to download. Please email me about this. Our next meeting is Sept. 8th, so I need a reply as soon as possible. Thanks.
Tandy,
You may definitely offer the pattern to your guild members. I feel like I’d rather that people were directed to my blog to download it than have it reformatted on your site BUT I’d also be happy to have you download your own copy and perhaps photocopy that to offer to your members so long as my blog is referenced and I’m given credit for the pattern.
I will email you as well

i love this patten. on row 13 do you repeat 2x? i keep ending up with extra stitches at the end.
Michelle, thanks
I’m not sure! LOL, it’s been so long since I did this pattern. There does seem to be something off with that count. I’ll try to figure otu what happens in this row and get back to you asap!
Thanks for your patience
Lisa
I think I’ve got it! (Needed coffee first, lol)
Row 13;
k5,(yo,k1,yo twice,k1,yo 3 times,k1,yo twice,k1,yo,k6) twice (so far using 5+10+10=25 sts – counting only the knits as stitches since we’ll be dropping the yo’s later),(yo,k1,yo twice,k1,yo 3 times,k1,yo twice,k1,yo) (4sts so total of 29 sts so far),k5 (total of 34 sts worked, not including yarn overs)
So basically you’re repeating the pattern three times within the row.
I’d love to see your finished scarf when you’re done!
Lisa
thanks so much. we’ll see how it turns out, im not that great at knitting :/ lol
Love it! Thanks for sharing!
I used a modified version of this to make a great cowl for my niece. thank you. Now I have a questions – I have seen something similar with the lace pattern going the other way – up and down instead of across if that makes any sense. Have you ever seen this?
I don’t know if I’ve seen it or not, sorry! If you wanted to design something with the pattern going sideways though – it would be fairly simple to do. You could work out how many sts you want, based on the st count of the design, to create the width you are looking for. The piece would be worked ‘side to side’ (in the case of a scarf) rather than ‘bottom to top’.
does ‘yo twice’ mean just wrap it around the needle two times?
Yes, exactly
