Notes
- This pattern is worked best with at least a 12 inch Tunisian crochet hook or a hook with an extension cord.
- This pattern is worked flat with the right side of the work facing.
- Do not turn your work at the beginning of each row. Each row is worked from right to left (forward pass) and then from left to right (return pass).
- At the beginning of each row, the first stitch is on the hook and counts as a Tunisian knit stitch.
The width of the scarf will decrease after R6.
Mark the cable rows with a stitch marker so it's easier to know what row you are on.
If the size G (4.00 mm) crochet hook is too small to use as the cable hook then go up a hook size until you are comfortable.
