A Reversible Cable Scarf

Materials: Heavy worsted weight yarn, approx 385 yards (280g) (I used 5 skeins of Patons SWS in the Natural Pink colorway. I only used portions of 3 of these skeins to keep the striping in sequence.) Size 9 needles, or size recommended for your yarn Cable needle Gauge: It's a scarf. Does gauge really matter? Live a little! Scarf measures approx 64 inches long, and 4.5 inches wide. Directions:Cast on 40 sts using your favorite cast on method. Row 1 : (RS) *K2, P2* across Rows 2, 3 & 4: Repeat Row 1 Row 5: (RS) *K2, P2, C8F* Repeat to last 4 sts, K2, P2 Row 6: Repeat Row 1 Repeat rows 1-6 for desired length, ending with row 4. Bind off in K2, P2 pattern. Weave in the ends. Flip scarf over and over and marvel at it's reversibility!

***KEY*** VERY IMPORTANT for reversible cables! C8F: Slip 4 sts to a cable needle and hold to front, K2, P2, then K2, P2 from the cable needle.

Want to alter the size of your scarf? To make the scarf wider or narrower, add or subtract 12 stitches to your cast on. This will add or subtract one cable repeat and approximately 1.5" from the width of the scarf.
