The varied stitch patterns and textures in this scarf combine with a subtly color-changing yarn for a truly elegant accessory.

The yarn used in the sample is designed to look like a handspun yarn, with colors that slowly shift and change. A gradient yarn would also work well with this pattern, but it looks equally stunning in a solid color.

To knit this pattern, you will need to know how to do the following skills and stitches:

• cables (worked with or without a cable needle)
• directional decreases (k2tog and ssk) and increases (m1L and m1R)
• centered double decreases
• slipped stitches
• eyelets created by yarnovers

The pattern repeat in this scarf is both written and charted.

Gauge: One horizontal pattern repeat = 9 in./23 cm wide at widest point and 8 in./20.5 cm wide at narrowest point, after blocking; 22 rows (one vertical repeat) = 3.5 in./9 cm in length, after blocking
(Note: Gauge is not critical, but differences in gauge will affect the amount of yarn you use. If you are substituting yarn or working to a different gauge, please be aware of how much yarn you are using as you work so that you will have enough to finish the scarf at a length you want.)

Notions needed: 2 stitch markers (optional), cable needle, yarn needle (to weave in ends)
