I love this broomstick lace scarf, and often make it for presents. It takes just one skein of yarn; my favorite to use is the Redheart Unforgettable Yarn. This is more of an intermediate pattern, but the tutorial video is easy to follow. Broomstick lace was historically made around the handle of a broomstick, although today a US size 50 knitting needle stands in as a good substitute.
