The Melisma Scarf’s elegant cables twirl and flow across the backdrop of ribbing like lines of melody and, with only a handful of cable crosses on most of its right side rows, it makes for a breezy and satisfying knit. Choose between a wider or narrower width and add fringe if you wish. The matching Melisma Hat is also available separately.
