Looking for a simple cable scarf pattern that is beautifully textured both front and back? My Menderes scarf is just that pattern!

Small, offset cables create a gorgeous, meandering pattern that travels throughout this knit and an integrated iCord border completes the scarf perfectly.

The simplicity of this pattern also allows you to read your knitting easily making it a relaxing knit for those new to cabling as well as more seasoned cable knitters. And as Menderes is currently a chunky/bulky yarn pattern, you can make significant progress on this cosy scarf that always makes a project even more satisfying.

The finished result is an elegant, textured scarf that will suit everyone, and whether you knit this pattern as a gift for yourself or for someone else, you’ll certainly be glad that you did!

Happy Knitting!
