Tulip Season Scarf

Tulips are beautiful reminders of spring and summer. Nothing symbolizes these seasons better than the budding, blooming flowers.
 
Tulip Season is a narrow, one skein, lace scarf with a simple and intuitive flowering buds lace pattern resembling blooming tulip buds. The scarf is light and feminine and makes for a wonderful accessory, ideal to cover your neck or shoulders to ward off the gentle spring breeze.
The scarf can be knit in any light-weight yarn: lace weight, fingering, sport or even DK. The length and width are also easily customized to the amount of yarn you have on hand.
 
The pattern is both written and charted.
