From the pattern:
This scarf began as an experiment in combining different types of reversible cables to create a deeply textured fabric.

I used a simple ribbed cable to set off braided cables whose balanced knit and purl stitches change places to produce the same pattern on both sides.

All of the cables are done on one side of the work, with purl crosses as well as the traditional knit and knit-purl ones.

The scarf is warm and dense, a guaranteed shield against wintry blasts on a misty moor or an urban street.
