Worked in a sumptuous cashmere-silk blend, this elegantly cabled scarf is as beautiful to knit as it is to wear — the yarn practically floats off the needles. The selected stitch pattern makes every inch fully reversible, so there’s no “wrong side” to hide and no compromising on how you drape it. Finish it as a classic long scarf or seam the ends together for a cozy doubled infinity cowl that wraps snugly around the neck — two luxurious looks from a single pattern. Whether you’re treating yourself or knitting a gift, this is the kind of accessory that will be worn again and again.
