Materials Needed

• Yarn: Fingering weight yarn in pumpkin orange and forest green
• Needles: US 6 (4.0 mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 24 stitches and 32 rows = 4 inches in lace pattern

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 60 stitches using the long-tail cast-on method. Ensure your stitches are not too tight for a comfortable edge.
2. Garter Stitch Border: Work in garter stitch (knit every row) for 4 rows. This creates a nice border that will help prevent curling.
3. Begin Lace Pattern:
   • Row 1 (Right Side): K2, *yo, k2tog, k1; repeat from * to last 2 stitches, k2.
   • Row 2 (Wrong Side): Purl all stitches.

   Repeat Rows 1-2 for a total of 10 repeats. This will form the main lace body of your scarf.

4. Switch to Pumpkin Motif:
   • Row 1 (Right Side): K3, *yo, k3tog, yo, k1; repeat from * to last 3 stitches, k3.
   • Row 2 (Wrong Side): Purl all stitches.

   Repeat Rows 1-2 for a total of 5 repeats. This section introduces the charming pumpkin motifs into your scarf.

5. Return to Lace Pattern: Go back to the lace pattern you created earlier. Repeat Rows 1-2 for another 10 repeats to finish the scarf.
6. Bind Off: Once you have completed the final lace section, bind off your stitches loosely to ensure the edge remains flexible.
7. Finishing Touches: Weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle. To give your scarf a polished look, block it to measurements. This will enhance the lace pattern and help it lay flat.

Your Autumn Whisper Lacy Pumpkin Scarf is now complete! Enjoy wearing this beautiful piece that captures the essence of fall, or gift it to someone special. Happy knitting!
