Here’s a scarf pattern along with both cable chart and “pithy” instructions. It is intended to echo the design elements of the Pinwheel cap but should go reasonably well with most other things. A minor warning - this is cable intensive and there are cable-crossing on every right side row. Being able to cable without a needle (see tutorial on the sidebar) is very useful and saves a lot if time.
Materials:
Worsted Weight yarn
One pair US size 7 needles
Terms:
C4B Slip next 2 sts to cable needle and hold in back, k2, then k2 from the cable needle.
C4F Slip next 2 sts to cable needle and hold in front, k2, then K2 from cable needle.
FC Slip next 2 sts to cable needle and hold in front, P1, then k2 from cable needle.
BC Slip next st to cable needle and hold in back, k2, then P1 from cable needle.
