Catch the Wave


I am very excited that I can knit again. I started this scarf one day at the beach last summer but never had time to finish it. Now that I got a break from college for three months I can put my knitting needles back in my hands.

Here is the Catch the Wave pattern (enjoy):

using worsted weight or heavy worsted weight
I used lana bambu (1 skein).
no need to gauge, its a scarf...after all!

needle size can range from 8-11 (I used 9)
cable holder (or I used place marker; If you like me use a place marker, put 2 live sts on hold front then knit two from needle then slide live sts back on left needle.


abbreviation used:
CF = put 2 stitches in front, knit two from left needle then knit two from cable holder
