Banyan Leaf Scarf ( Stay On Scarflette )
Banyan Scarf - Stay-on Scarflette Pattern
Introducing the **Banyan Scarf**, a stunning stay-on scarflette inspired by the unique shape of the Banyan tree leaf. For a long time, I envisioned creating a scarf that embodies the elegance of this leaf, and I’m excited to share my vision through this intricate knitting pattern. This design utilizes right and left-leaning cables to beautifully mimic the leaf shape, making it a delightful project for intermediate knitters. To assist new knitters in mastering the techniques, I’ve included video tutorials, which can be found in the PDF file accompanying this pattern.
This versatile accessory can be styled as a keyhole scarf, an ascot, or a pull-through scarf, making it a fantastic addition to any wardrobe.
