Sizes: 1 (2) ● Level: 3/5 ● Mini scarves are true statement accessories and the perfect single-skein projects for those lonely balls of yarn we all have hiding in our stashes.
The Loreen scarf is designed to use just one skein of cashmere. You can easily choose which size to knit based on the yardage of your yarn.
Featuring a beautiful cable pattern, the scarf is completely reversible — the cables run along the right side, while the wrong side looks like neat ribbing. This means the scarf can sit beautifully around your neck or be knotted onto a bag strap, no matter which way it turns.
