Unlike typical cabled scarves with orderly lines of cabled stitches, this beauty showcases two side cables that hug the lines of the center cable. The effect is a complex-looking accessory that’s as fun to knit as it is to wear. Check out the original project that inspired this new creation in the February 2016 issue (the Intertwining Cables Scarf). Plus, don’t miss the adorable cowl version right in this issue.
