Well ok, it’s really not that cold here down under, but I’ve been watching the news lately and have seen images of the giant cold snap happening all of Europe and the US at the moment. For all you northerners out there, I thought I would post a scarf I put together for my man a few months ago during our winter. And even for you Aussie gals… it’s never too early to start knitting for next winter!
I found this pattern on the Lionbrand iPone app which I have blogged about a few posts down. It has tonnes of great free knitting patterns to try out. This particular scarf uses a classic cable knit. You will need 5mm knitting needles, 5.5mm knitting needles, a cable needle and 4 balls of wool.
