“The classic cabled scarf is an iconic piece of knitwear with endless variation. It’s a leitmotif that I love playing with and am continuously inspired by. Guilder features a beautiful double-coin cable running up the center, flanked by heavy fishbone cables that mirror each other. Each end features a 2×2 ribbing that flows directly into the motifs without interruption, while the selvedges of the scarf combine a built-in 2-stitch I-cord with a column of 1×1 ribbing to create a clean and flat edge. The stitch patterns are reflected over a center detail so that the directional cable motifs look symmetrical when worn.

The finished piece is a perfect textured accessory for bundling up on hook when not being worn.” – Jared Flood
