The Ottilia scarf was inspired by a ready-to-wear designer sweater. It features a graphic lace pattern juxtaposed with fringe cleverly woven into eyelet columns. Pick muted colors for subtle texture, or use bright fringe for a fun pop in your outfit.

NOTES
This scarf is worked flat in two identical pieces, each knit from the CO edge to the center. The pieces are then joined using the three-needle BO. A 2-st garter selvedge is worked along each edge for a minimalist finish and to prevent curling.
Fringe is woven through the eyelets of the column stitches.
