Malabrigo Cable and Lace Scarf

[Shandeh]

I found the most beautiful pattern last night for a wide scarf. I really wanted to use my Malabrigo yarn with the pattern, but didn't want it to be as wide.

So, I've revised the pattern:

Cast on 27 stitches.

Repeat rows 1 - 24 until desired length or you run out of yarn.

Here is the original pattern: http://www.millharrow.com/weblog/fro...=146&idsel=145

I started working on it this morning, and did the first set of 24 rows. I like how it's going so far!

After seeing your narrower cable and lace scarf, that is what I am doing for my sweet sil. That is, if my malabrigo comes in the mail today !

How wide is your cable-lace-cable pattern, and do you think just one skein of malabrigo will be enough ?

Juding by all the enthusiastic posts, I think you have started your very own knit-along !

Oh, I hope your yarn comes in soon!! It's so hard to wait for beautiful yarn, isn't it?

My scarf is 4 1/4 inches wide, but I'm a tight knitter. I think that one skein will be enough, but time will tell! I'm crossing my fingers that it will be. I probably won't put fringe on mine, because I'm not a big fan of fringe.

Judging by all the enthusiastic posts, I think you have started your very own knit-along !

Cool! 8)

That is just beautiful!

I'm just concerned with how the back looks since scarves flop around..does it look okay?

Beautiful Scarf!!! What colorway is that?

That's beautiful! I love how you made it symmetrical -- that was the one thing I wasn't sure I liked about the original pattern.

It looks like the back of a scarf.

It's not too bad, really.
