The Pretty on the Wrong Side is a mesh type fabric featuring picot edging. It is knit from the bottom up with yarn overs and knit two together through the back loops to create the slanted mesh fabric. Using a picot cast-on, adding picots along the edge while knitting, and bind-off with picots, this scarf has a lacy/garden type feel that is exactly right for spring.
This is a simple 2 stitch, 4 row repeat pattern, and the size is easily customizable to be thinner, or thicker, longer or shorter depending on what the knitter would like. The pattern comes in one size, however, instructions for how to customize your knitting are included so that it can be exactly what you want it to be.
