Lang PTO57-05 Scarf Knitting Pattern

Lang PTO57-05 Lace Scarf in Linello

What Is Being Made

The Lang PTO57-05 is a lightweight lace scarf knitted from LANGYARNS Linello, a blend of linen, cotton, and viscose fibers. This seamless, flat-worked scarf measures approximately 14½ inches wide by 74 inches long (37 cm × 188 cm), making it an elegant accessory suitable for layering or draping. The design features an all-over eyelet lace pattern that creates an airy, openwork aesthetic ideal for warm-weather wear.

Techniques Used

This scarf is constructed using fundamental lace knitting techniques worked flat on straight needles. The pattern employs a repeating eyelet motif that combines yarn overs and decreases to create the characteristic openwork design. The scarf is worked seamlessly from cast-on to bind-off in a single piece, eliminating the need for seaming. The eyelet pattern repeat is 24 stitches across and 8 rows in height, allowing for consistent, predictable stitch development throughout the length of the scarf.

Stitches and Stitch Techniques

The primary stitch pattern is an eyelet lace that relies on basic knitting abbreviations and techniques:

• Yarn overs (yo): Creating deliberate holes in the fabric that form the lace pattern
• Knit two together (k2tog): A right-leaning decrease used to balance yarn overs
• Slip, knit, pass slipped stitch over (sl 1, k1, psso): A left-leaning decrease that pairs with yarn overs for symmetrical lace shaping
• Stockinette stitch: Knit on right-side rows and purl on wrong-side rows, providing the base fabric between eyelet motifs
• Edge stitches: One stitch worked at the beginning and end of each row to create finished selvage edges

The pattern chart indicates both right-side and wrong-side row instructions, requiring knitters to read the chart in both directions and reverse their stitch interpretation accordingly.

Materials and Gauge

The scarf requires 300 grams of LANGYARNS Linello yarn, which comes in three 100-gram balls. The recommended colorway shown is fuchsia-red-rose (color number 1066.0065). Knitting needles are ADDI brand, size US 4 (3.5 mm).

The gauge for the eyelet pattern on US 4 (3.5 mm) needles is 21 stitches and 28 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch. This relatively tight gauge is appropriate for a linen-blend yarn and ensures the lace pattern remains well-defined and structured.

Construction Details

The scarf begins with casting on 80 stitches using US 4 (3.5 mm) needles. The eyelet pattern is worked from a provided chart, with the 24-stitch repeat worked three times across the width, plus additional stitches to complete the pattern symmetry and accommodate edge stitches. Rows 1 through 8 of the chart are repeated continuously until the scarf reaches the desired length of approximately 74 inches (188 cm). The pattern includes both knit and purl rows to create the reversible lace texture characteristic of eyelet designs.
