Chunky Relaxed Cable Scarf Pattern
I don’t know about your neck of the woods, but here in North Carolina we have been having beautiful weather this past week. We are really getting a taste of the hopefully fast approaching spring! With the weather warming up, I realize I might be a little late to the game with this super cozy Chunky Relaxed Cable Scarf but I figured I would share the pattern now, since it is still February and still technically winter.
This pattern features Lion Brand’s Wool-Ease Thick & Quick Yarn, which is super soft and bulky. The bulkiness of the yarn allows for the project to work up quickly, and if you have been around my blog for any period of time you’ll know that’s right up my alley!

[Button placement]
Using photos as a guide, sew buttons in place so that they are in line with your button holes.
Tip: Place buttons approximately 1.5 – 2 inches from the end of the scarf – this will help your cowl be a bit more secure and to stay buttoned. (In the picture, the buttons are placed a little too close to the end! But do what you think is best!)
Enjoy!
I believe the it should read rows 145-146 not 143-146?
There should maybe be a few rows added onto this scarf…it looks much bigger in the picture…ive been trying to stretch it out so it doesn’t choke my poor sister :/
Other wise it turned out very nice.
Hi Jennifer! The finished size should be about 56 inches in length. It can be made longer by adding a few more repetitions of Rows 1-16 after Row 144. This would also require another skein of yarn.
Love this pattern!
Thank you for sharing!
A fun knitting project to look forward to.
Have a great day!
