Maybe to wrap around your shoulders as you fumble for that first cup of coffee in the morning? Maybe as a lap robe while watching TV or posting something funny online?

This pattern looks complex, but in reality is very easy. With only two written rows making up the six-row pattern repeat, it’s simple to memorize and fun to work.

Jaunty cables form a scalloped edge on this reversible scarf. It’s as cheery to knit as it is to wear!
