This pattern is part of The Bendigo Project, 2025 and will be published on Saturday 8th of March 2025.

The theme for The Bendigo Project in 2025 is stripes, and they are very much present in all of the designs, but with delightful variety: changing directions, textures, rhythm and sequence!

The Bendigo Project Knitalong will commence Sunday 16th March at 2pm via Zoom, and will conclude with a meet up at The Australian Sheep and Wool Show, in Bendigo, Saturday July 19th 2025.

This Scarf explores texture, colour and direction and has taken inspiration from Entrelac knitting but with a fresh spin!
The modular construction and changing colours and textures keep the knitting interesting all the way through.
