Vintage style scarf - in three sizes

Marmelade Scarf features a vintage style rhythmic cable pattern with wrapped stitches throughout the scarf. The scarf is worked sideways from tip to tip with i-cord edges worked along the way on the sides. With I-cord Cast-on and Bind-off the edges are polished all around. The pattern comes in three sizes with the stitch pattern worked from the charts.

The pattern also includes a Smocked Rib version of the scarf with a similar look, but quicker and easier to make. Both stitch pattern versions are easy to learn, and you don’t have to refer to charts all the time.
