Braided Neckpiece
by Teva Durham
A few winters ago, Banana Republic featured a keyhole scarf - a clever cravat with one end secured through a hole on the other end - and patterns for them started cropping up in knitting magazines. This gave me an idea: What would happen if I made more than one hole and then multiple straps at the other side? I found I could weave the two sides together, mimicing the braided cable or entrelac. Making this type of scarf is as fun as the potholders we made in grade school by weaving nylon loops on a frame - but the result is much more sophisticated, especially in ivory cashmere. -- description from Loop-d-Loop, pg. 81 (pattern on pg. 118)
