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

Knit one or both of these companion scarves featuring interlinked lace leaves.

The narrow Lace Leaves Scarf is knitted from end to end in one piece. It makes up quickly and will be a nice treat for those on your gift list, or even yourself.
