PATTERN INFORMATION
The scarf is cast on at the bottom edge, starting with 2x2 rib. After the ribbing is worked, the two middle ribs connect into a 3/3 cable while the rest of the scarf is worked in reverse Stocking stitch. A slip stitch edging at the sides of the scarf keep the edges neat. The cable splits the scarf into two parts, and a separate ball of yarn is attached to work both parts using intarsia. The hole is formed using mirrored decreases and increases on both sides. Once the shaping is complete, the two sides are joined again using another 3/3 cable. Intarsia is continued when knitting the cables to avoid cutting and reattaching the yarn. Once the scarf is long enough, it is ended with another section of 2x2 rib. Slipped stitches are slipped purlwise throughout with yarn in back or in front as indicated.
