I have a pet peeve about scarves that have a right and wrong side -- I just don’t want to have to keep track of which side of my scarf is showing. This is a cable scarf that has cables on both sides. Use a larger needle and a finer yarn than you would normally use because it enhances drapiness, which is an elegant quality in a scarf. Yarns with alpaca, silk, bamboo, and so forth are both smooth and soft next to your neck and quite drapey. I also give you brief directions on how to cable without a cable needle and also on a particularly stretchy bind off. I stretched this scarf when blocking with great determination which gave it a lacey, almost smocked appearance. It looks different without blocking, but also good.
