The Shetland Lace Scarf is worked back and forth on straight needles and is comprised of a variation of the Old Shale stitch. The lace is created by simple increases and decreases on a 4-row repeat, making this a perfect introduction to lace knitting. An adventurous beginner could easily master this pattern. The yarn cake creates a lovely colour block effect, with no need to keep changing colours. The yarn does all the work for you. There is also a matching hat pattern which you can find here...
