Instructions for traditional scarf and infinity scarf
English

NOTE: I am currently seeking pattern testers! I will re-release the pattern once it has been formally tested by other knitters. However, this process may take a while because I do not know any other people who knit.

This is a beautiful cable pattern that is an expansion of a traditional Saxon cable with 10 strands weaving in and out of each other rather than 6. Both written instructions and a chart are given. This scarf comes with instructions for both a traditional version and an infinity version. The infinity version is featured on the cover of the pattern by my amazing partner, Kaden. The traditional version is in the pattern photos on the left, worn by my wonderful mother, Ling-Jen. I used 4 skeins of Lion Brand Heartland in the colorway Redwood for both of these scarves.

Skills for the traditional scarf include:
-Long tail cast on
-Cable Knitting
-Simple Bind Off

Skills for the infinity scarf include:
