I've had this scarf in mind for a very long time and I'm so very glad it found a home in this issue. It fit right in with their Fisherman's theme and the yarn and color were absolutely perfect for this design.

It's intended to be extra long to wrap around your neck multiple times and still have some length to drape down your body. Think of it as a nice alpaca hug.
Here's a little snippet from my original submission that explains how the cables move through the scarf:
The design is fully charted and it’s such a wonderfully simple pattern that will hold your interest but is classically comfortable at the same time.
