Stag Scarf
I recently returned from a road trip with my charming cousin from Vancouver to Winnipeg. On our two week trip we camped and stayed with hospitable friends and family and had a blast. We a saw a little of our country and the sheer size, variety, and beauty is always inspiring. From the Rocky Mountains
To the Badlands
To the Prairies
It always feels good to take a trip and see some of Canada. I was inspired by some of the wildlife we saw to create another button scarf. I wanted it to reflect the great Canadian moose (although, sadly, the only one we saw was at the Manitoba museum), and I added a maple leaf button to complete the vision.
I used the new Spud and Chloe Outer (2 skeins) in a nice earthy tone called flannel. The yarn is a very soft combination of wool and organic cotton. It knits up super fast on 9mm (US 13) needles.
You can purchase this pattern through Ravelry here or you can click here to order through paypal. The pattern is sent via email in a PDF format.
PS. Thanks for being a great model Jess!

I purchased the pattern for the Stag Scarf. I have never done cables before so I would appreciate an explanation for row 8 of the pattern where it says C4B, C4F. I know that means place the next 4 stitches on a cable needle and hold at the back and at the front of the work. But when do you knit the first 4 stitches from the C4B?
Thank you
Valerie

Hi Valerie
To cable 4 back (c4b) you put the next 2 stitches on the cable needle and hold them in the back of the work. Then you knit 2 stitches from the left hand needle then 2 stitches from the cable needle.
To cable 4 front (c4f) you put the next 2 stitches on the cable needle and hold them in the front of the work. Then you knit 2 stitches from the left hand needle and 2 stitches from the cable needle.
Hope this clears things up!
