Twister
This scarf was inspired by the gorgeous Lily Chin Reversible Rib Shawl (which I still haven't finished). I desperately needed a brown scarf and fell in love the wonderful cinnamon colourway in Wendy Fusion that was a perfect match to many of my things.
I am delighted with the results and wanted to share the pattern with you. It's quick and easy to make and would look great in any chunky yarn. While it's not a particularly long scarf you can thread it through one of the cables for the 'keyhole' look if that's what you prefer.
Yarn: 2 x Wendy Fusion 50% wool/ 50% acrylic (single plied), 50g, 88m (96 yds) per ball
Needles: 6mm / US 10
Tension: 16 sts x 20 rows = 4" square.
Dimensions: 10cm (4") wide x 132cm (52") long
2x2 rib = *k2,p2. Repeat from * to end.
Cable row: k2, p2, C-rib24B, k2, p2.
C-rib24B = slide 12 sts onto a cable needle and hold to the back of the work, (k2, p2) 3 times from the left needle, (k2, p2) 3 times from the cable needle.
Cast on 32 sts
Work 2x2 rib for 19 rows.
Work cable row
**Work 2x2 rib for 29 rows
Work cable row
Repeat from ** 6 times more
Work 2x2 rib for 19 rows.
Cast off in rib.

What a great scarf and the colors look so good on you!! I love the keyhole effect.
great! The colors do indeed suit you. Can I get a link to the pattern post itself? Maybe you'll add it to the other ones on the right column? thanks! happy new year.
ever so lovely! the design, the colors, everything!
thanks for sharing it. this will be great in a splurge of cashmere!
happy new year!
love it! This is definately something I could whip up if I didn't have much time. Thanks!
Fab pattern! Thanks for posting it.
Very cool!! I wish you had posted this sooner (I would have ditched the cable scarf for SIL and knit this for her!)
Nice scarf! It's very, very cool.
Best wishes for a knittingful 2007!
Oi, that's nifty! Thanks :) I need another scarf, ROFLMAO! Happy New Year Rainy-Rain x
What a fantastic idea for a scarf! If I can ever bring myself to knit anything resembling the RRS again, I just might give this a try.
I love the scarf! Thanks for the pattern too! Love the color! Happy New Year! :)
Ohhh, I love the scarf! Thank so much for sharing the pattern :)
So lovely and clever! Not that I'm surprised :)
I just noticed that I never commented on this lovely scarf. The shawl it's derived from is one of those things I regularly drool over. But I love, love, love your adaptation. A scarf isn't as big a commitment, and it can be worn with more things than a full-sized shawl.
The colorway you picked is gorgeous. Browns are definitely your colors!
I don't know you, but I like you! This pattern rocks! It is something that I could actually make! Thank you!
Happy Valentines Day!
I am trying to knit this scarf, but it´s getting a little hard for me to do it, since I am not an English speaker, but Spanish. Would you do me the favor to explain it more? Thank you in advance. Perla from Chile
