The Travelling Chains Scarf is a cozy scarf to keep you warm on a cold winter‘s day.

Diagonal cables add a special twist to this simple rectangular scarf. They travel up from right to left like strands of chains laid out side by side.

The scarf is knitted flat. The cables are worked across 6 stitches, 4 knit stitches build the braid, 2 purl stitches are shifted behind in the background which has them travelling diagonally across the straight knit scarf.

The cable pattern is one-sided only.

The matching hat is available here.
