The lush undulating cable pattern that fills this aran scarf is surrounded by a simple garter stitch border to make the cables pop!

Instructions for 3 scarf sizes have been included so you can choose the scarf that is perfect for you!

The Narrow / Short Scarf is the perfect length for a simple tie through at the front.

The Narrow / Long Scarf is long enough to loop around your neck once and bring to the front again

The Wide / Extra Long Scarf is long enough to wrap around your neck once or twice. This cosy scarf is also wide enough to cover your mouth and nose.

You can find the measurements below.

If you can knit a simple C4F and a simple C4B you will be able to knit these cables.

This aran scarf is knitted in one piece so there is no picking up of stitches for your trim.

Separate easy-to-read row-by-row instructions are included for each size and the meditative repetition of the cable pattern makes this a relaxing project :)

The scarf shown here is the Narrow/Short Scarf and is knitted with Milla Mia Naturally Soft Merino Aran
