These may be my most satisfying cables yet! Working them was a blast, and the gorgeous slanted pattern shows up beautifully in a squishy merino worsted like Jill Draper’s Windham.

Tailspin showcases the pattern so that both the large and smaller cables really pop, traveling in elegant lines across the width of the scarf.

The outside lines of the cable pattern stand out against a narrow garter stitch border and a distinct edge, and tassels really bring it on home for a statement piece that’s bound to stand up to just about any outfit.

This pale lilac shade (Frost) is a color that makes me happy even in the dreary days of February - but Jill has a ton of gorgeous Windham shades available here. If Frost is sold out, I suggest choosing one of the more subtle semi-solid colorways to allow the pattern to show up best.

Notes are in the pattern in case you want to modify size, and all cable instructions are both charted and written.

As with all handdyed yarns, be sure to alternate skeins as needed.

ERRATA:

Sorry guys. The PDF has been updated and reloaded, but if you printed yours out immediately, there is one small typo:

On WS Rows, in the written instructions next to the chart, the sentence should end with a “slip last stitch purlwise wyif”, NOT a k1tbl.
