Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn, approximately 400 yards (suggested color: rich forest green)
• Needles: US 8 (5mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends
• Measuring tape: To check the length of your scarf

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Start by casting on 48 stitches using the long-tail cast-on method. Ensure your stitches are not too tight to allow for flexibility in your scarf.
2. Row 1 (Right Side): *K2, P2, K8, P2; repeat from * to end of the row. This establishes the ribbing and the pattern for the cable design.
3. Row 2 (Wrong Side): *P2, K2, P8, K2; repeat from * to end of the row. This row will help create the texture of the scarf.
4. Row 3: *K2, P2, C4B (Cable 4 Back), C4F (Cable 4 Front), P2; repeat from * to end of the row. This is where the cable pattern starts to take shape.
5. Row 4: Repeat Row 2. This will maintain the ribbed texture while allowing the cables to pop.
6. Row 5: *K2, P2, K8, P2; repeat from * to end of the row. This row mirrors Row 1, reinforcing the pattern.
7. Row 6: Repeat Row 2. Continue to build the texture of your scarf.
8. Row 7: *K2, P2, C4F, C4B, P2; repeat from * to end of the row. This row completes the cable twist, adding depth to your design.
9. Row 8: Repeat Row 2. This row will balance the cable work with the ribbing.
10. Repeat Rows 1-8: Continue repeating these eight rows until your scarf measures approximately 60 inches or your desired length. Remember to check your measurements with a measuring tape to ensure accuracy.
11. Bind Off: Once you reach the desired length, bind off all stitches loosely to maintain the elasticity of the scarf. Use a stretchy bind-off method for best results.
12. Finishing Touches: Weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle. This will give your scarf a clean finish. Finally, block your scarf to measurements to enhance the cable definition and overall look.
