Lovely masculine men's scarf
 

Well hello. I'm knitting a scarf as winter will eventually arrive in old Sydney Town (though our winters are quite mild).

I thought I'd share the pattern as it's quick and easy:

300 grams (10.5 ounces) of 8 Ply (wool is best).
1 pair of 8mm needles (US size 11)
1 cable needle (doesn't need to be big as your needles).

Special Abbreviations

C8B-slip next 8 sts onto cable needle and place at back of work, K8, then K8 from cable needle

C8F-slip next 8 sts onto cable needle and place at front of work,
K8, then K8 from cable needle

I bet that is lovely. You will post a photo, yes? I just might try this one. Thanks for sharing your pattern. Did you write it?

Oh cool! Thanks! Is it reversible? I can't wait to see it!

Here's a picture - I'm just loving knitting and, as you can see, I decided to use colours between white stripes. I also think it would be very fine in a mustard or light chocolate colour, up to you.

Here's a photo - hope it's clear (please ignore the fugly holding it up!).

Hey it is lookin' great, and thanks for the pattern! I always think it is stupendous when men like to knit. My husband would have no patience for it though and you do need patience to knit for sure. Can't wait to see it all finished!

So far, so excellant. Can't wait to see this handsome scarf completed.

It's looking good, David! Thanks so much for sharing the pattern.

I know the pattern says to knit for approximately 7.5 feet. Is that how long are you planning to make it?

The cables are all in knit sts, so no, it won't be reversible. Still a nice scarf, though.

Oooooh! BIG cables!!!! Love it, love it, love it!!! :inlove:

That's a great scarf! :thumbsup:
