Garter and Gulls Scarf

*Currently 20% off. Check matching Hat that is also on sale. * The scarf explores variations of the “gull’ or ‘gull cable’ stitch, a set of cross-overs that can be worked either by dropping sts intentionally, or by using a traditional cable needle. In my knitting, I used the drop-stitch method but you can choose the method that suits your comfort level and experience. The scarf begins with a long-tail cast-on and is worked flat. A generous use of garter stitches for the borders at both ends creates a staggered effect to the columns and gently widens the ends of the scarf. **Finished Measurements**: Approx. 70” (178cms) in length and 8” (20cms) in width. **Yarn**: Purl Soho’s Cashmere Merino Bloom, 75% Extra Fine Merino, 25% Cashmere: Light Worsted/DK-Weight Yarn, Skeins: 3. **Notions**: US 6/4mm, straight or circular needles. **Gauge**: 6 sts x 12 rows= 1” in Garter. Not critical. **Acknowledgement** I am deeply grateful to the talented test knitters who dedicated their time, yarn, and expertise to this design. Their insights helped polish the instructions for the 'Gull' cables, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable knitting experience for everyone.
