This scarf was designed to show the advantages of the new technique, Ring Cables.

Ring cables technique is a new approach to create smooth rounded cables, which are called either eternity cables, closed-ring cables or сlosed-loop cables.

The pattern includes the detailed written instructions, charts and videos, showing how to work these special cables, step by step.

The scarf has a long, rectangular shape, and 14 Ring cables symbolise the stars of the Taurus constellation, small, medium and large sizes rings. The reverse stockinette scarf is decorated with I-cord edging all around its perimeter: I-cord cast-on, I-cord selvedges and I-cord bind-off. It is knitted with very thin, lace yarn, so the scarf is very light and warm. It can be made longer, if you prefer. The yarn recommended is lace yarn, see the list above, the thicker fingering or sport weight yarn also can be used.
