Sweater Weather Scarf
Recently I became obsessed with faux crochet cables, which you might recall from my Sweater Weather Blanket Pattern! These chain stitch cables are so simple to make, and add such a lovely texture and definition to crochet projects. I especially like them because they resemble a classic cable-knit sweater. It’s such a great way to portray a cozy, comfy look! Whether it’s a blanket or a scarf, adding the cables just makes me want to snuggle up with coffee, cider or cocoa and stare out the window at the leaves in the fall, or snow in the winter. This scarf is a stylish way to stay warm, and would be so easy and fun to make as holiday gifts!
If this pattern looks a little familiar, it might be because you’ve seen it over at E’Claire Makery! I had the honor of being a guest blogger on her blog last month!
As you might recall from my Sweater Weather Blanket, I love to use two strands of Lion Brand Pound of Love for my faux cable projects! Antique White, the colorway used here, is just an absolutely perfect cream color. This yarn manages to be soft and durable, yet not too thick or thin for a medium yarn. You can find some on Amazon:

Notes
Pattern is worked up using 2 strands of yarn at once.
Ch 2 at the beginning of each row does not count as a stitch.
This pattern uses chain stitches to make faux “cables” throughout the piece. The steps to make a Cable Loop are described in the first row, and are thereafter referred to as Cable Loops throughout the pattern.
The loops can be seen on one side of the fabric only. When working on the side that does not show the loops, the loops for that row are pushed toward the other side of the fabric.
Pattern includes instructions for adding optional fringe; you may wish to skip this step or instead add pom poms to ends.
