North Star Tam & Scarf Pattern (Knitpicks.com)
Inspired by a classic symbol of Alaska, the North Star motif adorns this scarf and tam set. The scarf features this motif that makes up the body of the scarf alongside a simple diamond border on the edges. The tam is also knit out of lace weight yarn and is decorated with the North Star motif along the sides. Knit from the top down, yarn over increases create a beautiful lace star on the crown of the tam. The scarf is a great way to try out lace knitting while the tam will be an interesting knit for more experienced knitters. The pattern uses charts for the lace work portions of the pattern.

beautiful! My husband works for a Native Alaskan-owned company. I couldn’t believe my luck finding your site where you’ve researched not only the history of Lithuanian knitting, but also Alaskan. The Alaskan-inspired scarf & hat are lovely and very similar to patterns I’ve noticed in the pictures he’s brought back from his trips from northwestern Alaska, and I’m going to have to add your “Artic Lace” to my wish list of books. 🙂
