Whit's Knits: April Showers Scarf

A beautiful stitch pattern and two amazing yarns combine to make knitting this scarf a real joy. The lace pattern is easy enough for beginners and interesting enough for experts. It comes from Barbara Walkers Second Tresuary of Knitting Patterns, where she calls it the "Lucina Shell Pattern". I think it's as pretty as its name...

This scarf is knit with one strand of Lacey Lamb for body and coziness, and one strand of Silken Straw for gorgeous shine and drape. Together they are amazingly soft and luxurious. I don't ever want to take it off! --Whitney

Hi,
The scarf is really pretty! It reminds me of the ocean. I always enjoy finding the best patterns on this blog. Thanks!

I want to scale this up for a shawl, but my brain is cramping at the number to cast on to account for the edge stitching. I was aiming for three repeats of what you've got above, so 90-ish stitches, but that's a lot to cast on and knit 8 rows of to see if I guessed right.

Can you help?

Hi Other side of the river,
The pattern is a multiple of 9 +3, so 93 stitches will work.

Thank you so much!

I can't print off the pattern even though it says it is a free pattern to download. Please advise me how to do it.
