A Churchmouse Yarns and Teas Pattern - Spin Stitch Scarf & Ponc...
We first used this traditional Estonian stitch in a scarf pattern for the 2016 LYS Tour. Not lace, but so lace-like! Not cabled, but twisted by ‘spinning’ a cluster of stitches 180°!
Two size options (S/M and L/XL) allow you to create just the right fit. We fastened it with eight small shell buttons.

Stitch markers, including a locking marker.
Darning needle to finish.
Approx. 54 (72, 50, 56) fork blocking pins (or twice as many T-pins) for pinning scallops; blocking wires or extra pins for ends.

Note: It’s a good idea to knit—and block—a swatch, not for exact gauge, but to be sure you like the fabric.
