Description
Three bold cables march down the length of this classic scarf, framed by tidy garter-stitch borders that lie perfectly flat — a timeless piece to knit and to wear.
Materials
- Yarn: Worsted weight (CYCA #4), approximately 997 m (1,090 yds). The sample is shown in a natural cream — any smooth plied wool or wool-blend will show the cables beautifully.
- Needles: 6.0 mm (US 10) straight or circular needles
- Notions: Cable needle (cn), tapestry needle for finishing, stitch markers (optional but helpful)
