3- Way Scarf

With cables and moss stitch for great texture, you can wear this piece as a scarf, hood, or a gaiter/cowl for three different looks in one piece!

SIZE: One Size
About 16 x 60 in. (40.5 x 152.5 cm)

MATERIALS
• 860-135 Lion Brand Vanna's Choice Yarn: Rust 4 Balls
• Stitch Markers
• Cable Needles (Set of 2)
• Large-Eye Blunt Needles
• Knitting Needles- Size 8 [5 mm]
• Additional Materials
2 buttons, 1 in. (25 mm) diameter



GAUGE:
17 sts + 21 rows = about 4 in. (10 cm) over pattern. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE.
When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you less stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles;
if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
