Welcome to the sixth pattern of Year of Meditations! This design is for Mabon, which is usually September 21. Beginning the scarf at Lughnasadh should allow enough time to complete your project and have the chance to wear your scarf (or drape it nearby) while enjoying something refreshing on Mabon. Included is a mini-magazine with a recipe, information about wolves, and a meditation.

This is a wonderfully simple design of 1/1 cables and slipped stitches that have enough repetition to be meditative while still keeping your interest to the end. The design represents the way our voices rise in song or celebration. It would look great with tonal, gradient and handspun.

You’ll need a skein of sock yarn (between 275-350 yards, depending on the size and length you make) and your favorite needles. You also might like to have handy your favorite mug of coffee or tea, a bouquet of flowers, or even a happy song list playing in the background.

The sample was knit with Cauldron’s Path Yarns Full Moon in One Voice and used 295 yards.

Yarn
Any weight yarn will work with this as long as your gauge (yarn/needle combination) creates a fabric that will drape nicely around your neck. This pattern will work well with any gradient, solid, or semisolid colors.
