After releasing Tiling Twists Cowl, my mom pointed out that I needed a Christmas present for my father. I thought this stitch pattern translated well to a great unisex scarf and decided to knit it up in a luxurious merino possum yarn.

The elongated basket weave and mini cables of this stitch pattern combine to create a reversible fabric with two distinctly different, yet attractive, looks.

Pattern is 4 pages.
