Isn't this one of the most elegant, classic designs you've ever seen? One of our customers pointed it out to us and we knew in an instant that it was just right for our Vintage Alpaca -- even the suggested needle size was an exact match. We actually think this is one of the finest applications of cables available -- the offset design keeps the eye moving and the heart entranced while creating a scarf that will be light as a feather but warm enough for a blizzard. Even if you haven't yet fallen in love with knitting cables, once you find the rhythm to this pattern, you'll enter an unmatched state of knitting bliss. And when you're done, you get to wrap up in this luxurious scarf!
