The Arcade Shadows scarf is a dramatic, floor-skimming showstopper designed to command attention. Featuring intricate sections of simple lace and structured cables, this piece is a more technical knit than my typical designs. It requires a bit more focus, but the rhythmic complexity and the final architectural drape make every stitch worth the effort.

Pattern includes written and charted instructions and links to video tutorials.
