DESIGN

The Honey Scarf is a cozy scarf knitted in a cable and rib pattern. Using fingering weight wool held with mohair makes this a light yet soft and warm accessory to any outfit.

The Honey Scarf is worked flat and in one piece with circular or straight needles beginning with a small amount of stitches that gradually increase while working the charted pattern to the full width, then decreases to taper and complete the other half.
