PATTERN NOTES
This scarf is knit sideways along the length of the piece. You will want to use at least a 40” long circular needle, but we recommend using a longer length if possible. The cables feature slipped stitches, making it easy to practice cabling without a cable needle. Fringe is applied using a crochet hook during finishing. The pattern is both written and charted for your convenience.

In this pattern, work all slipped stitches purlwise.

Please note that this pattern is written to make the most of 3 balls of yarn. You may need to unravel your swatch to use in the final piece, or you may wish to purchase an additional ball as insurance.
