Quixote Scarf
Brenda Castiel

Garter stitch scarf featuring reversible, slanted cables. Completed with a cozy fringe for a simple scarf with a little something extra.

Finished Size 8" wide and 44" long, excluding fringe.
Yarn Green Mountain Spinnery Wonderfully Woolly (100% New England wool; 250 yd [229 m]/4 oz [113 g]): pumpkin, 2 skeins.
Needles Size 7 (4.5 mm). Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.
Notions Markers (m); cable needle (cn); crochet hook.
Gauge 15 sts and 26 rows = 4" in garter st, lightly stretched.
Correction: The 10-stitch Cable pattern needs a second 10-stitch cable (with the pattern beginning with a p1, instead of a k1): Sl 5 sts onto cn, hold in front, [p1, k1] 2 times, p1, then ([k1, p1] 2 times, k1) from cn. This cable should be worked on Row 27 of the Increases chart. On Rows 28–36 of the chart, the 10 stitches above this cable will be worked as foll: [p1, k1] 5 times. This cable (and the 9 rib rows above it) should alternate with the cable and 9 rib rows that begin with a k1.
