Hermione Hearts Ron Inspired Scarf

If you loved the Hermione Hearts Ron hat pattern by Christy Aylesworth and were looking for a pretty scarf pattern to match, here it is! After making the hat I kept thinking how nice it would be to have a scarf to match, since the pattern Christy created with the cables and lace look was so beautiful. I added a garter stitch border to prevent curling with ribbing on the ends to compliment the ribbing on the hat. I hope you enjoy my scarf pattern inspired by the Hermione Hearts Ron Hat pattern by Christy Aylesworth, found here.

Notes: I LOVE The Fibre Company Road to China Light. It is soft and the color variations are beautiful. Also, if you follow my blog you will know that I have fallen in love with the cabeling without a cable needle technique. For this pattern it speeds it up so much more than when using a cable needle. It really is not that scary or difficult of a technique and it pays off time wise! The best tutorial I have found is here. If you are interested in this technique I highly recommend it, I actually wish someone had enlightened me long ago! If not, this pattern lends itself really well to practicing simple cables and simple lace yarn overs. This pattern is a good one for beginners who want to try lace and cables for the first time. For those seasoned knitters who just want a beautiful scarf pattern, this is a great way to learn a cool new cable trick! I hope you enjoy this pattern that compliments Hermione Hearts Ron hat pattern.
