This is a reversible cable scarf which is symmetrical around a central stitch. I knit it in an alpaca and silk blend, which is soft to begin with, and the reversible cables make it very luxurious and warm. It seems like it would be a wide scarf from the stitch count, but the cables definitely draw it in. The dimensions given are for an adult or teen but the scarf can easily be made shorter to fit a child. I needed 6 skeins and used almost all of them, coming in at around 640 yards of the Elegance. I wrote out the instructions, but also included a chart at the end.

I designed and knit this scarf for a young man so I named it for a previous nickname of his. I didn’t have a chance to photograph the scarf on him, but he immediately asked for a mirror when he tried it on for length and it looked great.
