Scarf Size and Dimensions

Knitting Gauge
Cable Heart Pattern Blocked 4″ x 4″ Gauge Swatch: 14 sts x 13 rows
Scarf Construction
The knitted scarf is created from the bottom up on straight needles using a cable needle, too. This cable stitch is not a reversible pattern, so the heart motif is only visible on the right side of your work. However, the wrong side looks pretty, too, with a smooth Stockinette design of its own.
Cable Repeats
This pattern consists of 24 cast-on stitches in 10-row repeats using 6 different cable stitches to create this beautifully detailed design.
