11 Suntrap Lace and cables scarf

This stunningly beautiful scarf is a free download from Beyenburgerin's Weblog. Again, I am copying the pattern here just in case the pattern ever becomes unavailable from her blog. I hesitated almost a year before attempting this pattern and it turned out to be relatively easy to do. The following pattern is copied in verbatim off her blog. I started and ended with 2 rows of stockinette stitch and used Lincraft golden yellow 8 ply hobby wool on 4.5 mm needles

Double edge stitch (2 stitches twisted):

In the beginning of the second row: 2^nd stitch k, then 1^st stitch k, then let both stitches slip from the needle at the same timeAt the end of the row: knit until there are 2 stitches left, knit last stitch k1 tbl by keeping the needle behind the stitches, k1 the 2^nd stitch from the edge, let both stitches slip from the left needle at the same time. In the back/even rows every stitch is knitted, even those at the edges.

Finishing: 
Weave in loose ends. Soak scarf in warm water for 20 minutes, wrap in towel to remove excess water. Block the scarf on a surface where you can put a pin in every jag. Let it dry this way, it will stay in the zigzag shape then.
