    A real shame there are no written instructions. This is lovely and I’d make it, but charts and I do not get along.

      Hey guys ! I like that scarf pattern so much that I showed it to my boyfriend and BAM ! “I want you to knit me that scarf, pleeeease “. Ok, no problemo, except that I didn’t have the slightest idea about how to do it (I Don’t read Japanese sadly). So I spent a few hours trying to knit what’s on the charts, trying to understand how this all works.

      Let’s beging by understanding that pattern, it really helps knitting it. The pattern starts by knitting 2/2 rib stitch. As you know, rib stitch will kind of contract itself and you will only see the knit stitches on each side : that gives you virtually to sides of stockinette stich like the two sides of a slate. So if you knit a cable between 2 ribs of knit stitches and leave the rib of purl stitches between them at the exact same place (in the middle, and in the background – very important), your cable will appear only on one side and the other side will stay classic 2/2 rib stitch. That’s very clever and gives you the opportunity to knit a reversible scarf, because each row is reapeated on each side (hence the two charts : one for even rows and one for uneven rows which are exactly identical).

      I suggest knitting a sample and a few cables (both left and right since they are knitted in a different way) and on both sides.

      V : as explained above, you slip purlwise the first 2 stitches of each row, they will be purled on the next row, and give you a nice stockinette border that kind of make a thick border which is very pretty in the reversible scarf. I dont’t know if I got that ok, but I slip 2 stitches purlwise, with yarn in the back, then bring yarn in front and purl the 3rd stitch.

      I : knit (on each side : for each side is the right side since this is a reversible scarf)

      – : purl

      Cable towards the right (1st one in the description of stitches under the last chart) :
      Slip 1 and 2 on your right needle
      Slip 3 and 4 on a cable needle in the back
      Slip 1 and 2 on you left needle
      Slip 1 and 2 on the cable needle (it is now situated on the left of the purl 3 and 4 stitches like this : 2 1 4 3)
      Cable neeble stays in the back
      Knit 5 and 6 and slip the four other stitches back on your left needle to knit them as they come (purl 3 and 4 / knit 1 and two)
      So know you have a right heading cable on the side you are knitting, and still regular 2/2 rib stitch on the other side. Your stitches in the cable are now : 2 1 4 3 6 5 with 4 3 being in the background and 6 5 being in the foreground.

      Cable towards the left (2nd one in the description of stitches under the last chart) :
      Slip 1 2 3 4 on your right needle
      Slip 5 and 6 on a cable needle in the front
      Slip 3 and 4 on you left needle
      Slip 3 and 4 on the cable needle (it is now situated on the left of 5 and 6 like this : 4 3 6 5)
      Put cable neeble in the back
      Slip 1 and 2 on left needle, then slip the four stitches from the cable needle on left needle and knit stitches as they come (K 2, P 2, K 2)
      So know you have a left heading cable on the side you are knitting, and still regular 2/2 rib stitch on the other side. Your stitches in the cable are now : 2 1 4 3 6 5 with 4 3 being in the background and 2 1 being in the foreground.

      All you have to do is keep repeating the pattern until your scarf is the length you desired.
      I used Mongolia 5 yarn from Fonty with 6 mm needles (as indicated for this yarn) and it’s absolutely beautiful so far. The scarf is 12 cm large wich is rather good in my opinion, it shouldn’t be two wide cause the cables make it quite sitff. I was able to knit 2 repeats of the pattern in 4 days of holiday (but not knitting all day long) so this is way faster than I expected.

      Sorry for all the faults, I’m french and I’m trying my best. Don’t hesitate if you have any question.

    I found a Japanese chart on line with illustrations.
    I hope this helps. Wish there was a translation for this pattern

    What is the key for the scarf pattern, and what yarn weight and needle size was used to make it? I’m rather new to knitting, so I know this scarf might be a challenge for me, but I absolutely love the look of it so I’m willing to try it. Thanks!

    For those who wonder, I have recently discovered the 2×2 tubular cast on et now I get it. It is the cast on that is used for that scarf and it would look ten times better than a regular cast on for this parttern. It is what is basically explained in the middle diagram…but I couldn’t figure it out when I first knitted it (for a reminder I do not read japanese…)
    To keep it simple : you do a 1×1 tubular cast on as explained (for example) by Brooklyn Tweed (here https://brooklyntweed.com/pages/casting-on). When you have knitted about 4 rows in 1×1 tubular cast on, then you do a row that is not knitted, just a row of reorganisation of your stitches according to the second row (from the top) of the middle diagram (you swap a knit and a purl st, then slip a knit and a purl stitch purlwise) according the the diagram …and TADAAA you have your 2×2 rib stitch with the most beautiful cast on ever. I suppose that when you’ve finished knitting your scarf you may do a tubular bind off (which I have never tried but there are lots of video on the internet).

    As for wich yarn, I would say a worsted yarn is the most appropriate because it will make a scarf that fit exactly your neck in width (with 5 or 6 mm needles depending on your swatch).

    Woah I’m impressed someone took the time to write it all down, that’s amazing Michelle M. ! 2×2 tubular cast on is definitely the thing to do, hence 2×2 tubular bind off seems rather a good idea to give a nice finish to this scarf (YouTube is your friend here).
    I would recommend to people trying to knit this pattern to read all the messages, because I think all the answers have been given as to how to knit this scarf. Enjoy it, it is much fun to knit!
