Dubbel Scarf
A knitting pattern to create a scarf.
Dubbel takes inspiration from early spring trees, just about to wake up from winter. In this lightweight yet cozy scarf, cabled lines combine with wide ribbing to create a repeating pattern that evokes the bare branches of those trees, ready to start blooming. But if you shift your vision a little bit, you may see the negative space as the shapes of new leaves on those branches as the season starts to pick up the pace. This is a great accessory for those days when there’s still a bit of a chill in the spring air.
