If a scarf made entirely of
K1 P1 ribbing includes some 4-stitch or 8-stitch
cable crossings, the result will be a cabled
scarf which is completely reversible, having
a front side and a back side which are identical,
and appearing to have cables which are only
2 or 4 stitches wide. Using this method, the
cable crossings may be made from either side
of the knitted work, and both sides will still
look exactly the same.
Version 1 utilizes 4-stitch
and 8-stitch cable crossings separated by columns
of garter stitch. Version 2 plays around with
8-stitch cable crossings a little bit, offsetting
them by half of a cable (4 stitches) sometimes,
and gradually spacing them out more in the mid-section
of the scarf. Both scarves have one garter stitch
running along each side edge for the length
of the scarves, which is just the thing to give
the edges a simple, finished look.
