Beautiful scarf with cables, lace and moss stitch. Great combination to keep you focused, and to learn several stitches in one project.

Notes from Stephanie Lewis about her pattern:
’I found this pattern written in a notebook – it’s for a scarf that I made ages ago. Seeing as it was about the only thing that I wrote in the notebook, I thought that I’d put it here instead.

The pattern for the scarf was inspired by old guernseys from the north-east of England, the intricately knitted sweaters that were traditionally made in fishing villages along the coast. Each village had its own distinctive knitting patterns: the small cables and moss stitch bands are characteristic of Robin Hood’s Bay in Yorkshire. As far as I know, the fishtail lace pattern is not traditional in guernseys… I guess that the holes in it would not make for a warm and water-repellent sweater to wear at sea…

I knitted the scarf in Rowan Classic Cashsoft Aran with a tension of 35 stitches to 21.5cm. It’s 41 stitches across: 2 sts of double chain edge, 5 moss stitich, 2 purl, 4 cable, 2 purl, 11 lace panel, 2 purl, 4 cable, 2 purl, 5 moss stitich, 2 sts of double chain edge.’
