Scarf Written Instructions:
Note: This scarf transitions between two different sets of cables and therefore occasionally
sc will need to be moved and cable stitches will bridge across sc (skipping those sc) in the
previous row. A couple of things to keep in mind:
• Post-stitches will always be continued from row to row, a post-stitch is never
dropped from the design.
• The number of post-stitch should always be the same from row to row, whether
they are within a cable or standing alone.
• Try to be careful to distinguish between the two braid stitches.
• There may be extra sc in some rows compared to others. This is to maintain the
width of the scarf when the number of cable stitches varies from row to row.
