Inspired by the 444-mile river that begins at the southern end of Otsego Lake in Cooperstown, NY, Winding Susquehanna is the perfect non-scarf easy knit. This neck warmer is worked as a long rectangle and features a Celtic-style braided cable that is edged with a seed stitch. A one-skein wonder, the pattern repeat flies by and can be lengthened or shortened as desired (please note this will affect yardage).
