Torc Scarf

**Updated Pattern: May 2021**

Discover the perfect blend of style and comfort with our **Cosy Curving Garter-Stitch Scarf** pattern. This unique design features a striking reversible cable edging, inspired by the intricate twisted gold torcs showcased in the National Museum of Ireland. Ideal for knitters of all levels, this scarf not only keeps you warm but also showcases your craftsmanship with its elegant details.

The garter stitch curved section of the scarf is crafted from the top down, incorporating short rows for an impeccable fit that gracefully wraps around your neck. Once completed, the luxurious reversible cable edging is knitted onto the scarf, elevating its design and adding a sophisticated touch. Our easy-to-follow pattern includes both written and charted instructions, accommodating different knitting preferences and enhancing your knitting experience. The pattern is available in two versatile sizes, ensuring a comfortable wear for everyone.

This scarf is best suited for springy, soft yarns, as the intricate 12x12 stitch cable can be somewhat tight to work with, making it essential to choose the right yarn for optimal results. The pattern employs the Japanese short row technique, renowned for its seamless stitches, though German short rows are also a suitable alternative for those who prefer them.

**Gauge**: 18 stitches per 10cm / 4’’ in garter stitch, unstretched. Please note that the weight of the knitted-on cable edging may cause the finished piece to stretch slightly.

**Materials Needed**: A 4.5mm circular needle, approx 100cm / 40” long, or size needed to achieve gauge. You will also need a cable needle and scrap yarn for working the Japanese short rows, as well as optional stitch markers for convenience.

Create a timeless accessory that blends cozy comfort with unique design elements—our **Cosy Curving Garter-Stitch Scarf** pattern is your next must-knit project!
