Fragile Heart
Download an excerpt of the PDF (cover + overview) to get a feel for the pattern.
- Fragile Heart is an airy scarf with lace pattern worked on both sides. The hearts are worked in one direction followed by a short lace edge, while the second edge is picked up from the initial provisional cast-on and worked in the opposite direction. The heart stitch requires attention.
