Bundle up in a chunky fringed scarf with a matrix of cables and openwork. The tiny two-stitch crossings can be easily worked without a cable needle, and yarnovers nestled in a background of reverse stockinette allow light to play through the deeply textured fabric. The fringe is worked in durable twisted cords for a playful edge.

Please note: the stitch patterns used for this accessory include written as well as charted instructions.
