The age old knitter’s dilemma: how to knit with black yarn? This scarf is my solution to the problem!Starry Vista combines an easy lace repeat with straightforward stockinette to make working with dark yarn easier on the eyes. The open lace sections let light through the fabric, so you can see your stitches as you knit, while the corner-to-corner stockinette body is shaped with simple increases and decreases. It’s a relaxing knit that suits both beginners and more experienced knitters looking for a low-effort project in those darker colours you’ve always wanted to knit with.
