The Twisted Twines Scarf is a beautiful little cable scarf. This scarf features a unique cable pattern based on a 2x2 rib, reminiscent of intertwined twines in a forest. The Twisted Twines Scarf is the ‘little sister’ of the Twisted Twines Shawl. The scarf is knitted back and forth, starting at the tip. You will work increases in every 4th row (always on the right side of your work) until you reach the widest point at the centre. Then, you will work decreases in every 4th row until you reach the other tip.

And good news: if you fell in love with the texture of this little scarf, you can make the big shawl for the colder months!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Proficiency in reading charts is essential for this pattern, as it uses a comprehensive chart to make tracking your progress easy.
