A Great Guy Scarf!

If you have a great guy, or you have a guy you want to make a great scarf for, this is it!


SIZE: One Size
About 7 x 72 in. (18 x 183 cm)

MATERIALS
• 630-127 Lion Brand Wool-Ease Chunky Yarn: Walnut 2 Balls (A)
• 630-135 Lion Brand Wool-Ease Chunky Yarn: Spice
1 Ball (B)
• 630-152 Lion Brand Wool-Ease Chunky Yarn: Charcoal 1 Ball (C)
• Lion Brand Knitting Needles - Size 10 [6mm]
• Lion Brand Cable Needles (Set of 2)
• Large-Eye Blunt Needles (Set of 6)

GAUGE:
16.5 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) in Cable Pattern with B. 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.

STITCH EXPLANATION:
NOTES:
1. Scarf edges are designed to curl along some of the pattern stitches.
2. The stitch count will change when a decrease is worked to accommodate individual pattern stitches.
