The Retta Scarf is the perfect everyday accessory; warm, stylish, and surprisingly easy to knit. A central nine-stitch cable is bordered by twisted stitches and garter stitch, creating a classic design that looks good however you want to wear it.

The DK weight yarn is held doubled throughout knitting this scarf, creating a chunky weight that works up quickly.

Sample scarf was knit using 2 x 200g skeins of Bendigo Woollen Mills Rustic yarn. Please note that you will need to adjust how many skeins of yarn you use if substituting yarns. This scarf can be easily customised for your yardage and scarf length preferences – just work as many cable repeats as you like.
