Tiger Eye Lace Scarf

Materials: 1 sk Mountain Colors Bearfoot (350 yards, 6-7st/in)

US 5 needles

Notes: Any fingering or sportweight yarn would work. The appearance of the tiger eyes is
very dependent upon blocking so a wool or wool blend is recommended. Bearfoot has a
light mohair halo that didn’t obscure the design at all. Obviously you could also use
laceweight with whatever needle works for you.

The version shown was worked from the ends and then grafted together for symmetry. You
could also knit from just one end until the desired length or use a three-needle bind off if
preferred.

Approx. finished size: 6 x 72” (my version lengthened by nearly 20% during blocking,
growing from 60 to 72")
