This oh-so-versatile scarf features one-piece (seamless) construction and a fresh, bold approach to two classic traditions, combining the strength of cables and the elegance of openwork lace.

Non-identically reversible, the result is stylish and practical, as well as enjoyable to knit, with a deceptively simple and soon familiar pattern repeat.

In fact, the only difficult thing about creating this gorgeous piece as a gift is parting with it!

Note on Yarn: Shown in South West Trading Company Saphira 100% Superwash Merino Wool, a smooth-finish single-ply solid-color or tonal-colorway yarn, in Color 578 (lime-green hues), an appendix to the pattern provides non-wool options and other alternative yarn choices.

Note on Needles: In addition to US Size 10.5 needles (or size necessary to attain desired gauge; straight or circular used as straight), this pattern also requires a cable needle (in type or style of knitter’s individual preference), and a large-eyed yarn needle (for finishing).
