This scarf is the perfect way to send someone off: wrapped up in love. It makes an ideal parting gift, as its classic style (inspired by traditional Aran knitting) wide width, and cabled plushness will keep the wearer warm, and thinking of you for many winters to come.
Gauge and Size info:
While gauge is not overly important, it is vital to note that this pattern was designed to produce a VERY large and wide scarf by most standards. My finished scarf measured just over 6 feet long and 10.5 inches wide, without any blocking (as the mostly acrylic yarn really didn’t need it).
If that’s too much scarf for you, this pattern should work in any yarn, but will look best in something with good stitch definition to show off all the cables. My gauge measured in at 5 sts and 5 rows in an inch.

There are two versions available: original and anti-curling. The scarf pictured is the original, however the original design curls inward slightly. To counter this, a second version of the pattern was created with seed stitch mixed in. I have published both for your convenience.
Currently charted instructions are not available for this pattern, but I am working on making them available as soon as possible.
