I’ve been yearning to design a little triangular scarf pattern like this recently. I wanted a project that would be fun to knit and something I couldn’t put down, something cosy for autumn/winter but also small enough to pop into a pocket if I got too warm.

Saltash is worked from corner to corner, increasing along one edge with a built in i-cord edging. Cables travel in the direction of the increases to the centre point, and then reverse to match the decreases. I’ve used Blacker Tamar 4-ply for the sample which works beautifully. 

It was hard to know how to list this design as four sizes are provided from 128-172cm / 51-69in wide, giving the option to make a little cable neckwarmer, shawlette, or something closer to a shawl or wrap, depending on how much yarn you have. I’ve also written in an alternative method to use the most of a special skein (or two) so you can keep going until it’s run out.

The pattern is fairly straightforward, and suitable for advanced beginners that are familiar with cables and maybe keen to learn new techniques. I’ve offered a choice of two cast-ons: a standard cast on, or an i-cord cast on to allow the border to continue neatly around the edge.

There are plenty of styling options too. The sample is a size 2, which will wrap around your neck once with enough to tie in a knot or hang down loosely. Check out some of the tester projects on Ravelry to see other sizes.

What I love about this pattern is the texture that the cables produce, and that it isn’t immediately obvious that it is cabled. The feedback I’ve received so far suggests the pattern is very enjoyable, interesting and addictive, which is what I was going for!

The pattern is 20% off until the 20th November using code SALTASH20 on Ravelry and on this website.
