Part of the Very Chic series, this scarf is a fantastic introduction to the technique of dropping stitches between cables, to make soft and drapey accessories. With no grafting or shaping, the focus is on the panel of three staggered, elongated cables, made extra fluid by dropping stitches strategically between select cable twists. The result is a fluffy and flowing skinny scarf that naturally curls slightly inward, creating an attractive and wrappable semi-tube that is both functional and fun.
