The Éclair scarf is a small scarf with a classic and simple cable pattern. Knitting cables is meditative, creating a sense of harmony as you become fully immersed in the rhythm of the pattern and the soothing repetition of the stitches.
A Éclair scarf is a cute accessory that can add color, warmth and style to any outfit. It is a quick project to make and effortless to wear. The Éclair scarf comes in three sizes. The largest size is long enough to wrap around your neck a few times, or you can loosely loop it around your neck. The smallest size reaches around your neck once. Whether worn around the neck or used as a headband, a small knitted scarf is a versatile and practical accessory. You can also easily modify the sizes for longer or wider scarves, just keep adding more pattern repeats until you reach the desired size.
The Éclair Scarf is worked from one tip to the other. The scarf is knitted in the simple and classic cable pattern which is suitable for adventurous beginners. The edges are knitted with slipped stitches that look like an i-cord
