You'll love this oversized knit scarf pattern not only for its chic look, but cool elegance and versatility!
The Simply Serene Scarf is a beautiful knit lace scarf, using the Irish Mesh stitch on large needles with super bulky yarn, making it accessible for all different skill levels. The scarf is knit back and forth on straight or circular needles and is finished with a fringe for a fun detail.
Though this lovely accessory looks beautiful as pictured, the pattern offers you some flexibility so that the width and length can be easily modified to fit your desired size. With a scarf as versatile as this one, you can dress up or dress down any outfit you choose.
