Knit your own Cat's Cradle Scarf using these clearly-written instructions by knitwear designer Jackie E-S of HeartStrings FiberArts.

The clustered threads used as the main pattern stitch in this scarf concentrate the colors of variegated yarn in a lovely way. Also, the way the threads meet and cross each other reminds me of the child’s game “cat’s cradle”.

By knitting this scarf from one long edge to the other, the colors arrange themselves lengthwise in strokes of color along the length of the scarf. The eyelet stripe sections which frame and divide the cat’s cradle areas further emphasize the length-wise color placement.

Includes a mini-tutorial on finishing and blocking lace.
