Thick, twisty cables meander along the generously-sized McIntosh Scarf, a welcome accessory in the chill of late November. The scarf knits up quickly in K2, a soft, squishy bulky weight yarn from Miss Babs Hand Dyed Yarns. For extra speed, try knitting the cables without a cable needle! In the colorway Corset, it evokes dusky red apples, changing leaves, cranberry bogs — the best parts of fall.

This pattern contains both fully charted and written instructions.
