Dandelion Scarf

By: Leneta Groshong from killercrafts.co

"Ever since I stumbled across the dandelion stitch on Pinterest, I've been in love with it's delicate and airy feel. So, I created a scarf to highlight just that. This scarf took me around a week to complete. Once you get the hang of the pattern, it's a great project to keep on hand for mindlessly working on while watching tv, waiting in line, etc, etc. It's nearly impossible to lose your place, and minimal stitch counting is required. The pattern contains links to a page with instructions on how to knit the dandelion stitch."
