Leo

Moon
By Nat Raedwulf

Leo Moon is the 'sister scarf' to Capricorn. Created for my friend Alison, Leo
Moon was designed to be a luxurious scarf fit for the king or queen of the jungle, and
warm enough to keep one cozy during the Leo full moon (which occurs in the dead of
Winter). Beginning with a rich merino wool and silk blend, and using combination of
classical cables and lace, this royal scarf is a sophisticated and elegant while also having
weight and warmth.

Although it contains multiple cable and lace combinations, this project suitable for the
brave intermediate/ beginner who has some knowledge of cabling. A simple 8 row
repeat that is easily remembered after a few repetitions makes this scarf possible to
work without constantly having to reference the pattern. Lack of border stitches creates
a simple yet elegant wave down the length and ends of the scarf.
