Description
Named after a loved one’s favorite song, Doris Chan’s versatile lace throw adds a hint of sophisticated comfort to any room. With one lovely, lacy stitch pattern and just about any yarn, you can create an array of comforts large or small. By working a basic rectangle as wide or narrow and as long or short as you desire, you can make anything from this rich throw to a quick scarf. The lace stitch is a variation of the strawberry pattern, an easy-to-remember four-row repeat, with a scalloped side edging made as you go, to minimize finishing.
