The Cascades Knit Scarf

Cabled Knit Chunky Scarf Pattern 1

Here is the first of my “fall collection” patterns that I will be releasing over the next few weeks.  Over the summer I’ve been coming up with some fall projects, because that’s what yarn addicts do (ha ha!), and it’s finally time that I can share them!

I really wanted to make a luxurious, super chunky, squishy scarf to start off the cooler season.  This was the first time I’ve used Cascade Magnum for a pattern and I am so happy with it! The colors that you can choose from to make this scarf are so gorgeous, but I just love this color which is called “Doeskin Heather”.

The drape is really nice on this scarf, even using this super bulky wool yarn.  From using the large needles, you will find that it works up fairly quickly. This would be a great project to try if you’ve wanted to improve your cable knitting skills.  You definitely should be familiar with cables, or at least have a good tutorial ready to watch before you try out this pattern.  It is a simple braided cable with a garter stitch background, but I don’t suggest that it be your first cable project.

That’s all there is to it. This would make a very special Christmas gift, and I think you’d impress a lot of people with your cable knitting skills. 🙂
