Premiering the Trellis Lace Scarf!
(All pics are clickable for bigger)
I totally enjoyed knitting this scarf, and I’m really happy with the finished item.
I think it’s a great way to use a single skein of Knit Picks lace weight, or in my case, Cherry Tree Hill Possum Lace.
The pattern calls for Knit Picks Alpaca Cloud, which comes in a 440yd, 50g skein. The Possum Lace is 480yds per 50g skein, so I managed to get in 25 pattern repeats, instead of 23.
The finished scarf measures 24cm x 160cm (9.5″ x 62″).
The colour of the Possum Lace is “Moody Blues”, and was given to me by the lovely Danielle.
Here’s a close up of the stitch pattern.
I wouldn’t say the pattern is the easist lace pattern I’ve done, but it’s not really overly difficult, either. One thing that might bother some people is that the beginning and the end don’t match exactly.
The beginning.
The end.
In the beginning, there are decreases in the triangle, in the end, the decrease are in the lace pattern. It doesn’t bother me, I think you’d have to be looking pretty closely to notice.
Final Specs.
Pattern: Trellis Lace Scarf by Evelyn Clark, from Interweave Knits Spring 2006.
Yarn: Cherry Tree Hill Possum Lace (40% Merino/40% Possum/20% Silk), 1 x 50g skein.
It’s a pattern I’d definitely do again, and I think it’d make a lovely gift, too.
Gorgeous just gorgeous!! Love the colour. Love the pattern..You did a fantastic job.

Your Trelis is really pretty. Great blue…
Looks fabulous. Your lacework is gorgeous.
Lovely lovely!!
I made the Branching Out scarf from knitty.com and one of the things I didn’t like was how the two ends didn’t match, so I knit two halves from the beginning of the pattern and then grafted them together so the ends looked the same. However, the difference in ends in your scarf is hardly noticeable.
It looks great! 🙂
Gorgeous! Love it.
Your scarf is just beautiful. I have 440 yards of Knit Picks dye your own sock yarn that I dyed a bright orange. I’m thinking of making this and that it would be striking in orange! Take a look on my blog..scroll a bit and let me know what you think.
Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful!
Beautiful! I may just have to knit that one, too!
What a gorgeous scarf! I love the color.
That scarf is just so beautiful. I love your lace work 🙂
Beautiful scarf!
I love this scarf! The color is great and the lace pattern is beautiful too. Great work!
Nice lace work! Love the colour too!
Its really pretty! Do you use blocking wires when blocking lace?
Lovely scarf!! I usually like both ends to be the same, but these ends are a feature!!! Twinkie must be getting excited as the Big Bunny Day is fast approaching!!!!
That looks great, Donna! Fabulous lacework. I don’t think I would’ve noticed that the two ends are different if you didn’t mention it 🙂
I just realized that I actually have this magazine. I like your scarf much better!!!
That’s so pretty – nice job! I am working on that now as well, also in a shade of blue. I hope mine comes out half as nice as yours!
As always, a very beautiful FO!!!I jusst wish I have the patience and ability(most important) I think to knit and read lace patterns! Love the possum lace too Donna.
Donna, you are an amazing knitter and one that continually inspires.
