Covered in intermittent cables that twist like branches, the Thousand Oaks Scarf is true to its name. This luscious scarf is worked on the bias, starting with one stitch and growing with increases at either edge; short-rows add interest to this one-of-a-kind accessory. The chainette cashmere yarn adds to the decadence of this piece, making the experience of knitting and wearing this scarf equally heady.
