Size
180cm long by 15cm wide (including edging).
Centre measures 12.5cm wide excluding the pointed edging.
Materials
Yarn:
Handspun yarn: 75gm of handspun fine merino, 2 ply, 33wpi, approx 600m per
100gm.
I used Fibreworks rainbow dyed merino roving in colour "lorikeet" and spun it myself .
(Golden yellow, deep red, turquoise and all the greens, browns, purples etc that thosecolours make when they mix)
To spin a colour-change yarn such as this, take a rainbow dyed roving and pre draft it
without splitting it lengthwise. Spin your single and wind it off the bobbin into a centre-
pull ball. Take each end of the centre-pull ball and ply your single upon itself.
Commercial yarn: For a single colour scarf you could use Bendigo Mills 2 ply wool,
or Marta's Yarns 2 ply merino (360m per 50gm) which is available in a range of 360
colours.

Begin Edging
8/4/2019 Bufanda Lace

First you will need to pick up all the stitches that the edging will be worked onto.
K20, k2tog, k19, place marker (to mark the corner), pick up 393sts along the long side
of your scarf (pick up 1 st in each slipped st along the edge), place marker, undo the
provisional cast on and knit the 40sts, place a marker, pick up 393 sts along the 2nd
long side.
Now you will begin knitting the points along the top 40sts.
K1, turn
*k1, turn
k2, turn
k2, turn
k3, turn
k3, turn
k4, turn
k4, turn
k5, turn
k5, turn
Cast off 5.**
Repeat from * to ** 7 more times. You will now have finished the points along the topshort edge of your scarf.
Note: If turning your work whilst knitting the tiny points drives you batty, you can use
the "knitting backwards" method of knitting your work without turning it. I found it to
be a much faster and more enjoyable way of working the edging.
As you can see, each point uses a total of 5 stitches. Since you had to pick up 393sts
along the long edge, you will need to decrease 3sts along this edge whilst working the
edging.
First, repeat the instructions from * to ** 10 times to make 10 regular points down the
side of your scarf.

Next, work a "decrease point" as follows:
k1, turn
k2, turn
k2, turn
k3, turn
k3, turn
k3, k2tog, turn
k4, turn
k5, turn
k5, turn
Cast off 5.
Knit 27 regular points, one decrease point, 28 regular points, one decrease point, then
finish off the long edge with 10 regular points.
Work 8 regular points along the bottom short side, then work the edging along the
remaining long side as you did for the first long side, (10 regular points, 1 decrease point, 27 regular points, 1 decrease point, 28 regular points, 1 decrease point, 10 regular
points). Cut your yarn and fasten off.
Finishing
Wash your scarf, spin out the excess water, then pin it out to block it whilst drying.
I don't have a special blocking board so I pinned my scarf by the points to a quilt laid
out across my dining table, then put weights on the quilt to keep the scarf stretched
while it dried. You need to keep your scarf stretched out while it dries to open up the
lace knitting, which makes it a lot more attractive.
Darn in any loose ends.
