Celtic Plait Scarf

    Knit in Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran Tweed in #118 Dusk. The yarn is 85% wool, 10% silk, 5% cashmere and has lovely slubs of cream, green, blue, and maroon.

    Gorgeous and long. Given the cable pattern, stays very flat, even when wearing it. A good wind block. Perhaps not the best for people with sensitive necks.

    The pattern for the cabled Celtic plait is from the Harmony Guide's 220 Aran Stitches and Patterns. I added two stitches of reverse stockinette on each side of the cable. It curls slightly, but I'm a garter stitch snob, and didn't want a border.

    Knit in US Size 8 needles. I knit until three balls of yarn were used up.

    blogged.
