When the days get shorter and the shadows become longer… Long Shadows is inspired by those days of looking behind you and chasing the daylight for just a bit longer in hopes that the winter doesn’t come on too fast.
The Long Shadows Scarf is extra long - wrap it once, twice, probably three times around if you need some extra warmth. It also has optional tassels, because who doesn’t love a little pizazz?
Construction
This scarf is knit in the flat from the bottom edge to the top. Cables are worked at either end of the scarf with ribbing in the middle. Optional tassels can be added after the scarf is finished.
The cable patterns are both written and charted.
