Have fun with cable stitch patterns with this long, soft merino scarf

Long cabled scarf

THIS LONG scarf, designed by Jody Long, combines four different cable patterns, which are mirrored on either sides of the scarf. It’s knitted in a DK-weight pure merino wool from Jody Long’s own yarn range, called Ciao; this is available in a palette of pastels, neutrals and bright shades.
