I knitted a friend/coworker of my dad’s a hat. I decided to make a scarf to go with it after he started petting my Swamp Witch scarf/shawl. This was the result.
Supplies –
Bulky Yarn (roughly 165 yards. I used up 1 ½ skeins of Lion Brand Jiffy)
US10 straight needles (or circs if that’s your bag, baby)
Yarn Needle
Cable Needle (for those of us who can’t cable without it.)
Terminology –
CN – Cable Needle
C6F – Slip next 3 sts to CN, hold in front, K3, K3 from CN
Gregscarf Cable Pattern –
- P1, C6F, P2, C6F, P2, C6F, P1
- K1, P6, K2, P6, K2, P6, K1
- P1, K6, P2, K6, P2, K6, P1
- Same as row 2

Repeat these 6 rows for pattern.

Work these 2 rows a total of five times, ending by finishing a right side row.
