LAMAR A REVERSIBLE BRAIDED SCARF Designer: Gale Zucker Skill Level : Intermediate Finished Measurements: 6.5” x 58”- more if you block with vigour Materials 3 skeins Cascade 109 Tweed (109 yards each) , shown in Walnut Tweed US Size 13 needles Cable needle 1 stitch marker (optional) Gauge Gauge is not important for the size of the scarf – unless you have precise dimensions in mind. But swatch to make sure your needle/yarn combo isn’t creating too stiff a fabric. Page 2 of 3

Page 2 of 2 LAMAR scarf instructions The entire scarf is knit in a K1P1rib, with cables . This doesn’t show as ribbing but renders the braided cables reversible. It is a very warm scarf. Directions: Cast on 36 stitches. Turn to begin pattern, placing stitch marker in first stitch. You can use this marker as reference as you knit, it will be in the right corner of the scarf when you are knitting an odd numbered row, and on the left side when you are knitting an even numbered row. Alternately, I use the long tail cast on and leave a 2” tail in this corner for the same purpose. Begin CHUNKY REVERSIBLE BRAID (below) stitch until you are almost out of yarn or have reached the length scarf you desire. Cast off all stitches in K stitch. Finishing Weave in ends of yarn. Dampen and block gently, careful not to flatten the braids.
