The Estes
I used Patons 100% Classic Wool. It doesn't particularly say what color so just go with the beige. (You will want to buy two skeins of this since it's a small ball).
Medium weight 4. Hand wash.
Boye #6 US or #4 US regular needles
Front Border:
Cast 36 sts in regular straight needles.
Row 1 and 2: Knit
Row 3: [K 3, P3] repeat until you reach the end of the row
What you want to do now is repeat row 3 until the ribbing is approximately the length of your thumb. Once you get that done, K 2 rows. This is where you will start your first cable. Make sure you are on the right side of your knit!!
Cable:
Row 1: P 8, K 6, P 8, K 6, P 8
Row 2: K 8, P 6, K 8, P 6, K 8
Row 3: P 8, C3F, P 8, C3F, P8
Row 4: K 8, P 6, K 8, P 6, K 8
Row 5: P 8, K 6, P 8, K 6, P 8
Row 6: K 8, P 6, K 8, P 6, K 8
Repeat rows 1-6 until you have 5 cables along the vertical
Knit 2-3 rows, depending on which side you stopped. You want to be on the right side row.
All you need to do now is repeat the rib-cable pattern until you have 4 blocks (a block has one of each rib and cable sections). Once you have completed the 4 blocks, what you want to do is to do only the ribbing pattern. But instead of it measuring the length of your thumb, you want it to measure as the same length of one block.
Once you complete the neck area, knit 2 rows and repeat the rib-cable pattern. Except now you will do it in reverse, so cable-rib for 4 blocks.
Once you come to the end of the scarf, knit 2 rows and bind off. Weave both tails on each of the two sides into the knit.
And there you have it! Simple, right? As I said before, I will be posting pictures of the finished product.
