Handsome cables lend a sophisticated appeal to this cushy scarf. The pattern includes a photo-tutorial to show how to eliminate the holes you normally find with crocheted cables, so there is no chance of chilly breezes finding their way in!

Yarn: Snuggly Wuggly, or similar #3 yarn: @ 200 yds for a cowl size, or use @ 800-900 yds. Sample in pattern uses 2 skeins of Snuggly Wuggly in Soft Gray.

Hook: size H/5.0mm hook

Materials: scissors, blunt tip needle for weaving in ends. If making a cowl, a button for closure.

Size: Sample shown works up to @ 8” x 72”--- a very generous size! But you can use the charts to customize your size and cable pattern to make it any size you need.

This written pattern uses US terminology. Charts are included as well as a photo-tutorial for the ghost-stitch cable technique that makes a solid fabric on the back-side: no more holes to mar the cable work!
