Cables and lace merged together creates this timeless pattern, which mimics the hollows of aged trees. This project begins with a provisional cast on and ends with a 3-needle bind off, which creates a tidy seam. This scarf was made with approximately 200g of a tonally dyed, smooth fingering wieght yarn.

This pattern includes written and charted instructions.

Pattern requires the following skills: crocheting a chain for provisional cast on, basic lace, cabling, decreasing, following a chart (optional).
