I'm not going to lie--this scarf isn't going to keep you very
warm. But you'll look great when you wear it! When I saw this yarn--Patons
Metallic in gold--at my local Michael's store, it reminded me of Rumpelstiltskin's
skeins of gold. I thought a cable pattern would should off its texture
beautifully, so I came up with this simple scarf pattern. Since it's less than
four inches wide, it's definitely an accessory and not serious winter gear, but
I really like the way it turned out. I'm sharing the pattern below. Don't be
intimidated by all those rows--remember, each one is just 18 stitches long.
