It took longer than I had expected but I have finally completed my Gelato scarf. The colors are so pretty and pastel that it reminds me of candy or of brightly colored ice cream. l Back in January my mother bought me a skein of this gorgeous candy colored yarn Lace Wool yarn in Gelato made by Prism. We bought it from a small shop in Coral Gables, The Knitting Garden.
Here is the pattern for the lace ribbed scarf:

Repeat these four rows.

Continue for the appropriate length and wear with pride. This is a very light and airy scarf, perfect for the summer months.
