Lang PTO27-08 Scarf Knitting Pattern

Lang PTO27-08 Knitted Scarf in Eyelet Lace

What Is Being Made

The Lang PTO27-08 is a lightweight knitted scarf crafted from LANGYARNS LINELLO yarn. This seamless, flat-worked design produces an elegant accessory measuring approximately 11¾ inches by 71¼ inches (30 x 181 cm). The scarf features a sophisticated eyelet lace pattern that creates an open, airy fabric ideal for layering or draping.

Yarn and Materials

This scarf pattern calls for LANGYARNS LINELLO, a blend of linen, cotton, and viscose fibers. The project requires 300 grams of yarn, equivalent to 3 balls in the cognac-bordeaux colorway (shade 1066.0015). The yarn composition makes this scarf breathable and suitable for warm-weather wear. Knitters will need ADDI knitting needles in US size 4 (3.5mm) to achieve the correct gauge and fabric drape.

Techniques and Construction Method

This scarf is worked flat from bottom to top using a seamless construction approach. The flat-worked method means knitters work back and forth on straight needles rather than in the round, making this an accessible project for knitters of various skill levels. The bottom-up construction allows knitters to try on the scarf as it grows and adjust the final length as desired.

Stitch Patterns and Lace Details

The primary stitch pattern is an eyelet lace pattern that repeats over 9 stitches with 9 rows per repeat, plus 3 additional stitches and 2 edge stitches. The lace pattern is charted, with the chart displaying right-side rows only. On wrong-side rows, knitters simply purl across to create the stockinette base that supports the lace openwork.

The eyelet lace pattern incorporates several key techniques:

• Yarn overs (yo): These create the characteristic holes and openings in the lace fabric, allowing light to pass through the scarf.
• Knit stitches (k): Standard knit stitches form the main fabric structure.
• Double decreases (sl 1, k2 tog, psso): Also called slip 1, knit 2 together, pass slipped stitch over, this decrease removes two stitches while creating a centered decrease that balances the yarn overs and maintains the lace pattern's symmetry.
• Cable twists: The pattern includes cable needle techniques where 5 stitches are placed on a cable needle behind the work, 1 stitch is knitted, the first stitch from the cable needle is slipped back to the left needle, the remaining 4 stitches are knitted from the cable needle, and then 1 additional stitch is knitted. This creates subtle twisted texture elements within the lace.
• Edge stitches: One edge stitch at the beginning and end of each row is worked in stockinette stitch to create neat, finished edges.

Gauge and Fit

The pattern is designed to be worked on US size 4 (3.5mm) needles, which creates an appropriate gauge for the LANGYARNS LINELLO yarn. This needle size produces a fabric with good drape and definition in the eyelet lace pattern, allowing the openwork to be clearly visible while maintaining structural integrity.

The finished scarf dimensions of approximately 30 x 181 cm (11¾ x 71¼ inches) make this a versatile accessory suitable for various styling options, from casual wrapping to more formal draping.
