This scarf or shawl is a variation on reversible cables. Twists replace true cables for a very similar look that goes a bit faster.

YARN, GAUGE AND MACHINE: Scarf is about 6” wide and 60” long. Shawl is about 15” wide and 60” long. Both may easily be altered to your preferred dimensions by adding or subtracting rows and stitches. Stitches must be added or subtracted in multiples of 4. Row count may be altered freely but the twisted areas must be altered in multiples of 4. and Mid-gauge should use machines the will Nordic not version have enough instead. needles Because to the make shawl the will Bebe be version draping of the shawl a ribbed fabric sideways, it will seem to grow beyond the 15” width that it measures laying flat Exact gauge is not important for this project. Approximate gauges are: 4 stitches/6.25 rows per inch in stockinette using Tamm Nordic at about stitch size 4.1 on both beds for bulikies and a larger size for mid-gauge machines. For standard and mid-gauge & Passap 5mm machines, Tamm Bebe gets about 6.5 stitches/9 rows per inch. On standards and Passaps the stitch size will be about 2 numbers below the maximum. On mid-gauge machines the stitch size will be in the middle of the dial. Adjust the dials so both beds knit at the same gauge, no matter what the numbers read. The character of the fabric depends on thorough steaming for this project. The pattern is written for the use of a ribber but patient knitters may hand form the ribs to get the same effect.
