The Parting Scarf by June Myers (Youngblood Knits)
This scarf makes an ideal parting gift, as its

classic style (inspired by traditional Aran
knitting) wide width, and cabled plushness
will keep the wearer warm, and thinking of
you for many winters to come.
MATERIALS:
5 skeins of Lion Brand Wool-Ease (worsted
weight) or approximately 950 yards of another
worsted weight yarn.
Needles in US size 7 (4.5 mm) and US size 8
(5 mm)
Cable needle/DPN (or knowledge of how to
cable without one)
Gauge and Size info:
While gauge is not overly important, it is vital
to note that this pattern was designed to
produce a VERY large and wide scarf by most
standards. My finished scarf measured just over 6 feet long and 10.5 inches wide, without
any blocking (as the mostly acrylic yarn really didn’t need it).
If that’s too much scarf for you, this pattern should work in any yarn, but will look best in
something with good stitch definition to show off all the cables. My gauge measured in at 5
stitches and 5 rows/inch.
