Another cable scarf

I made this scarf for my niece who is a freshman at the University of Nebraksa--go Huskers!!! ( our mom and youngest brother are hardcore Husker fans)
She needed some cold weather team spirit gear.
This ought to fill the bill.

Row 2: K1, p1, k1, p12, k2, p12, k2, p12, k1, p1, k1

Continue repeating rows 1-12 until desired length and then cast off.



Details:
  • Original pattern inspiration here.  I modified it some--adding a side border as well as lengthened out the distance between cables.
  • 2 skeins Red Heart Soft in Wine (I prefer a blue/red over an orange/red most of the time).  And my niece has similar coloring to my #2 daughter here)
  • Finished dimensions:  oops!! forgot to take them before I packaged it up to send.  About 6 inches wide and probably close to 70 inches as you can wrap it around your neck once.
