Why knit a standard super scarf when you can make a Cabled Lace Super Scarf? Easy scarf patterns can be gorgeous, but this super scarf pattern really stands apart from the crowd with its unique cables and colorblocked design. The diamond lace details overlay on the cabled diamonds in a surprisingly uncomplicated and eye-pleasing argyle design. While we love the pink and red colors shown, we bet it would also be beautiful in neutral grays and muted blues. Knitted scarf patterns like this one are truly once-in-a-lifetime finds.
