the Daisy Swatch-Turned-Scarf

Or in this case, it’s a daisy swatch-turned-little-wrap. I finally got a picture of it!

It’s so cute! And wearing it this weekend totally had me wanting to make the shawl I was swatching for in the first place, four or so years ago.

I’m thinking about it. I’d use a different yarn than the Skacel Merino the swatch was knit with. And I’d add some fancy schmancy inserts and edging, I think. But maybe not.

The swatch was knit using the daisy pattern and edging #2 from Barbara Abbey’s Lace Knitting book. I used a size 9 needle for the daisies, and I think a 6 for the edging. As I recall, it’s only two repeats wide.
