Ocean Scarf

After getting a few compliments from wearing this beautiful, bright blue scarf, I thought I'd share the pattern with you.  I not only love the color of this scarf, but I love how pretty the cabling is, even though it is a very simple cable to create.  It would be a great project for someone who is beginning to play with cables, and you get used to the techniques needed very quickly.  I hope you like this scarf as much as I do!  If you decide to use this pattern, I would love to see your finished product!  Just send me a picture of any projects you've completed from patterns on this blog by filling out my contact form!

  1. A close-up photo of the scarf showing the design would be great, please! I like being able to compare what I'm working on with what it's supposed to look like. Thank you for sharing!
