knitting pattern
Choose options
A pretty rectangle in three sizes (scarf/petite/tall), worked in a vertical composition of delicate pea vines dotted with nupps (add or substitute beads if desired). Piece is worked from hem to center back in two pieces, then grafted afterward. Despite its intricate appearance, this piece travels well and knits up quickly to make a special accessory for the gardener in each of us.
