“A unique cable pattern brings eye-catching texture to your accessory collection! The oversized honeycomb fabric of this scarf is interwoven with columns of textural tuck stitches throughout for a rhythmic, undulating pattern that reminds me of wind patterns over desert sands or basaltic columns on a seaside cliff.

The stitch pattern is simpler to work than it appears, employing cable crosses only once every 14 rows; the remaining 2-row repeat is worked for all other rows. The scarf begins and ends with a ribbed edging worked on a smaller needle; the cabled textures flow unbroken from the ribbing, and a corded selvedge is worked along either edge of the scarf throughout for a polished, professional finish. Even the WS of the fabric has a unique patterned appearance that makes this scarf feel special regardless of which side is facing out. Worked in a springy DK- weight yarn, the fabric has deep texture and amazing squish, perfect for snuggling up in when venturing outdoors to meet the elements.“* — designer, Jared Flood

Construction

  • The scarf is worked flat back and forth from end to end. It begins and ends with a ribbed edge. The main portion of the scarf is worked in an allover cable pattern that flows seamlessly from the ribbed edges. A corded selvedge is worked along each side of the piece throughout (created by slipping the last 5 stitches of every row with yarn in front).
