Buninyong

Introducing our delicate DK-weight lace scarf pattern, a stunning addition to your knitting collection. This scarf features a unique reversible lace pattern that is beautifully based on stocking stitch, rather than the traditional garter stitch. This clever construction makes the scarf truly reversible, which is a rare find among lace scarves. While the two sides are not exactly identical, the interplay of stocking and reverse stocking stitch creates a charming symmetry, ensuring that there is no wrong side to this versatile scarf.

The scarf utilizes basic increasing and decreasing techniques to develop its intricate lace pattern. However, it's important to note that this project does require focus, as both knit and purl stitches are worked on each side, making it an engaging knit for those looking to challenge their skills.

This exquisite scarf is lovingly named after the special location where my husband proposed over 12 years ago, in the enchanting crater of a volcano, Mt. Buninyong. To add a touch of sentiment, the yarn used for the first prototype was a precious gift from him on our seventh wedding anniversary; a gift that beautifully aligns with the traditional theme of woollen presents.

The samples showcased in the images were expertly knit using Pear Tree Supersoft Merino and WOOLganics Organic Merino, both of which enhance the scarf's luxurious feel and intricate design. Whether you are knitting for yourself or as a heartfelt gift, this reversible lace scarf is sure to impress. Dive into this pattern and create a timeless piece that combines both style and a story. Perfect for knitters of all levels looking to expand their repertoire and enjoy a rewarding crafting experience!
