#232 Double Orchid
You're truly worth it, and you've absolutely earned this project! After all those intricate lace patterns, this stunning scarf will be the perfect next step in your knitting journey. The exquisite texture of this stitch pattern is worth every knit stitch, and it’s a design that truly begs to be created using a luxurious yarn.
This sample is knit in my preferred cashmere blend from Knit Picks, but it would also look stunning in any high-quality worsted-weight yarn that showcases beautiful stitch definition. Consider options like merino wool or silk blends for an added touch of elegance.
The design features double orchid motifs that elegantly run the length of the scarf, beautifully complemented by twisted ribbing in the background. Each motif is a marvel in itself, generating a captivating visual experience through a combination of basic lace knitting techniques and a few advanced ones that are easy to pick up, especially for those with some lace knitting experience.
With this pattern, you’ll receive both fully charted and written instructions, making it accessible for knitters of various skill levels. Initially, you'll find this stitch pattern to be a delightful challenge, but as you progress and watch each motif come to life, you'll find that it quickly becomes easier and more enjoyable.
