This scarf began as a swatch for an interesting cable pattern I found in one of my stitch dictionaries. I think the idea was to either use one repeat of the cable in a panel of stitches or to space them on a background of reverse stockinette stitch. Not knowing any better, I worked one repeat after another, which turned out to make a pretty nice reversible swatch, which turned into a pretty nice reversible scarf.

Pattern includes both written and charted instructions.
