Almost Aran is a scarf that features the lovely cabling seen on aran sweaters, but is a smaller project than a full sweater! Get your cable fix without having to worry about finishing a whole sweater!

This scarf features an optional faux mobius twist that is put in after the entire scarf is knitted. You get the option of a lovely twist without having to work a twisted project.

This pattern has been tested for clarity and accuracy, and includes a photo tutorial for blocking a tube scarf without resulting flat edges.

• The pattern includes both written and charted instructions.
• Because this scarf is knit as a tube, a light worsted yarn is suggested instead of a heavier #4 yarn.
• The larger two sizes will create a very thick scarf. Testers recommend the two smaller sizes as ideal for everyday wear, and the larger two sizes as suitable for very cold weather.
• Gauge is important - check before you knit!
