VESNA MINI SCARF
Small but luminous, Vesna Mini Scarf captures that same first warm breeze of the spring as Vesna Tee — light and fresh. Framed with contrasting i-cord and built around a delicate lace center, it offers texture and thoughtful detail in miniature.
The scarf is worked from the center out with short row shaping and finished with i-cord bind off. This is a perfect project for using leftover yarn or mini-skeins.
Three sizes, adjustable width and length, and an option to knit a plain center make it easy to create a piece that suits your taste. Depending on the chosen size, the scarf can be tied as a kerchief, wrapped around the neck twice for extra warmth, worn as a headband, a tie, or a bow on a handbag ⚘
