This scarf is reversible with exactly the same pattern visible on both sides of the scarf to create two right sides of the fabric. The scarf is knit by using two cable needles to cable on each side of the scarf.

It is not as hard as it sounds but it does take time and some concentration.

The scarf is knit in a 2x2 rib pattern and you have the option to follow a chart or written instructions. It has a tubular cast on and cast off.
