Description

Inspired by the Art Deco style for the Brendigan Scarf, I searched for lace stitch patterns that would convey this look. Art Deco began in the 1920’s in Paris as a departure from the organic style of Art Nouveau as tastes moved more toward technology. The angular, geometric shapes in this scarf embody Art Deco as I interpret that wonderful artistic era. The scarf is knit in two pieces from outer edge to center and joined with Kitchener stitch.
