I started at a new job in the beginning of 2021, and to keep everyone safe, we always had to keep the door and a window open to keep fresh air circulating. Of course, I had no problem with this, as I didn’t want to get sick. But it did make the office space a bit chilly.
So I wanted to knit myself a big, chunky scarf that I could wrap all around me when I walk to work, and then drape over me at my desk like a blanket, keeping me warm (and stylish) from morning to evening.

Depending on how long you want the scarf to be, I made mine extra long, you’ll need 6 (7, 8) skeins of bulky Julia yarn (170 m/skein) (or something similar).

The scarf starts at one end, with ribbing, and one cable gently fans out into cables spanning the entire width of the scarf. At the end, the cables decrease again, to end in ribbing, giving you a perfectly symmetrical scarf.

This pattern isn’t written out row per row, as this would easily take up 20 pages. You get 5 charts, with written instructions on how often to repeat which chart (A, B, C, D, or E). For instance, written instructions can inform you to knit chart C twice, and then again until row 10.

All you need to be able to knit for this pattern is:

• cast on
• knit
• purl
• C4F
• C4B
• C4Fp
• C4Bp
• bind off
