Knotty Scarflet

This small asymmetrical necklet is not as simple it seems. An addictively easy lace pattern provides the basis for bias shaping, and a scalloped border adds charm. You are done in a flash. You’ll learn the crochet hook add-as-you-go bead method and how to choose the perfect bead for your project. This is a fantastic first lace project and an engaging class for all levels.
