Cable and Garter Rib Scarf/Wrap
Designer: Sarah Solomon
CONSTRUCTION OVERVIEW
Flynn is a simple but effective cable pattern, easy to memorize but impressive in the finished piece. The 2x2 Rib Hem flows into the cable pattern with a combination of increases and decreases for a subtle but sophisticated finish. Instructions are both written and charted making this pattern ideal for knitters who are new to working cables.
