Knit your own Skinny on Lace using these clearly-written instructions by knitwear designer Jackie E-S of HeartStrings FiberArts.

Create a statement in lace, and wear it with pizzazz. Slimming chevron angles and stylized fleur-de-lis arranged symmetrically in narrow lace bands are knitted from end-to-end in one piece — no grafting or seams to sew.

Three projects are included in The Skinny on Lace pattern - Sash, Necktie and Long Wrap Scarf - giving you options to knit with anything from lace weight to sport/DK yarn. Charted and written stitch instructions.

• Sash: 135 yards fingering weight yarn or equivalent such as size 5 crochet thread for blocked measurements of 4" x 60", size 6 US/4.0mm.
• Scarf: 250 yards sport or DK weight yarn for blocked measurements of 4½" x 80", size 7 US/4.5mm.
• Necktie: 110 yards laceweight yarn or equivalent such as size 10 crochet thread for blocked measurements of 2¼" x 40", size 1 US/2.25mm.
