This pattern and its name has a little story behind it.
My husband gave me two skeins of gorgeous Pear Tree yarn from the first dyelot for our 7th wedding anniversary. Wool is the traditional gift for the seventh anniversary. I was looking for the perfect scarf pattern to do this yarn and the symbolism of the gift justice. I decided I wanted to knit a lace scarf. I love the delicate nature of lace scarves, but for me, a right and wrong side on a scarf, is just, well, wrong. I like a scarf to be double sided so I don’t have to worry about the wrong side showing, or having to be always delicately arranging my scarf so it sits just right.
Rather than simply knitting a lace pattern all in garter stitch, I set out to play around with creating a reversible lace pattern based on stockinette stitch. While the pattern is not exactly identical on both sides, the mix of stockinette and reverse stockinette makes a lovely combination.
I decided to name the scarf after the place he proposed, in the crater of a volcano named Mt Buninyong. Worked in dreamily soft Australian merino, this scarf is so light and airy and looks great no matter how it falls.

Construction:
This delicate DK weight lace scarf features a reversible lace pattern based on stocking stitch, rather than garter stitch. This makes this scarf reversible, something uncommon in lace scarves.

While the scarf is not exactly identical on both sides, the mix of stocking and reverse stocking stitch mirror each other nicely enough so that there is no wrong side to this scarf.

While the scarf uses basic increasing and decreasing to create the lace pattern, it does require concentration and knit and purl stitches are worked on both sides.
