Cabled Mini Scarf
By: Vanessa Smith http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/cabled-mini-scarf I came up with this scarf while teaching myself how to create cables a few years ago.It was my first time using a luxury yarn, so I wanted it to be something both beautiful and wearable. Being 15 years old, Ididn't have the budget to spend a lot of money onyarn, So I bought 2 or 3 balls of Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran, a pair of size 10 needles, which was my favorite size to use at the time, and a cable needle. This is what I came up with! It's quite simple, but if you're intimidated by cables, yet eagerto learn them, this is a great starting point! There's also a ton of ways to wear this scarf, and I've included pictures of my favorite way to wear it.I'd love to see what you come up with!
