Brill Frills

Delores, this beautiful scarf by Susie Johns, features unusual ruffles and elegant cord ties. It's perfect for wearing indoors over a sweater or can be used to soften the neckline of a jacket or coat whilst keeping you snuggly at the same time. The frilled effect is produced by rows of regular increases to create a fluted effect, incorporating a few rows of eyelet lace and then finished with a narrow border in a contrasting colour. The ties are finished with cone-shaped spiral end pieces in the same lacy pattern.
