On our journey through Scarf Land, we bring you to the classic cabled scarf…get the pattern below. 6 more days of scarf patterns left!
Over the last two weeks, we’ve shared with you some of the scarves we’ve been making for our Hat & Scarf Charity Drive at the Lion Brand Yarn Studio. Whether you’re making them as gifts or for charity, come back from now until Thanksgiving for inspiration & patterns for easy scarves from the Studio’s staff.

I started making the swatching like I should, but i make sure they are all the same size, they will make a nice blanket when I finally get enough, and you look at it and remember what you made with them.

Question about this pattern, wouldn’t you do the repeat of rows 9-16 instead of 1-16? I thought the first 8 rows were the border.
Patty says: Yes, the first 8 rows are the garter stitch border.

This cable scarf is exactly what I was looking for for my boss but there does not appear a crochet pattern. How can I convert?
Thanks,
Marnia
Zontee says: Hi Marnia, you can’t directly “convert” knitting to crochet or vice versa, but click here for a crochet cable stitch pattern you could make a scarf out of.
