This happy scarf showcases a diamond cable on a garter stitch background, accentuated by a hand-dyed yarn. Garter stitch gives a squishy feel, cables a nice interest - check out the wrong side of the fabric for a subtle quilted look!
Written for a button closure, but is easily converted into a cowl, infinity, or long scarf.
Suitable for a beginner to learn simple cables.
