Ah, the quest for the perfect knitted Giftmas present. For my younger brother it was a scarf, a cabled scarf to be precise. I came up with this simple, easy to memorize, relatively narrow cabled scarf, suitable for a man or a woman. A braid with the appearance of four strands runs down the center and a simple mirror-image twist borders the braid with a no fuss seed stitch edge on the sides and top and bottom.
