Lacy Zigzag Scarf Free Knitting Pattern by Ratcha
Thanks to my friend Sandy for taking me shopping for yarn. Because of her I got to buy this shimmering, eye-catching, and breathtaking yarn to make this beautiful lacy zigzag scarf. It's going to be a great Christmas gift for my artist friend. I found a skein of beautiful yarn called “Fiesta La Boheme” It remind me of Indian Sari for some reason. It costs about $35.00. But it worth the price, I think. I found it on Amazon.com for about $30.00 but it doesn't have shimmering yarn in it. I love the color combinations, the softness of mohair and a touch of the sparkling silver thread. The yarn has two strains-combination and must be knitted together. It was pretty easy to knit because I used rather big needle. The smaller one would be a little more difficult.

I had a hard time finding the right pattern to knit with because of its colors combination. I tried many lacy patterns but they didn't work out for me. Finally, I came up with this zigzag one because it look simple and it show the stitches better than the more complicated lacy pattern. I hope you enjoy it.
