Palindrome Scarf!

Hey everyone! I finished my first Palindrome scarf - I love it SO much more than a regular cabled scarf! Its so great that it looks good on both sides :slight_smile:
I used Caron Simply Soft in Violet with size 9 needles, and it’s on Ravelry, too. (I LOVE IT!!!) This is definitely my favorite scarf pattern by far! I love the Irish Hiking Scarf, but reversible cables are SO amazing to have on a scarf!

Comments are welcome, as usual!

Here’s my cute roommate wearing it!

That looks really great. I really like the Palindrome pattern and will probably make one myself.

You did a great job!

Pretty color. I like it.:thumbsup:

It’s beautiful!

Great-looking scarf! I have some yarn in my stash picked out for Palindrome. I love your roomie’s musical shirt and how the walls match your scarf.

cloud9 Very nice scarf, and I love the color. cloud9

:woohoo:Beautiful job! I :heart: the color, too!

That is one beautiful scarf! And the colour is gorgeous.
My to do list is too long, what to do, what to do :??

:cheering:Great Scarf! I think the color looks great on your roomie too. You did a great job:thumbsup:

Looks great! I want to make a scarf for my DBF’s sister for Christmas and I was thinking of doing a cable scarf in purple…this one might have to be it!

You did a beautiful job! I’m making one in grey tweed for my DH, and I love that it’s not too wide. Thank you for sharing your finished project! It’s great inspiration!

It’s beautiful. I’ve been wanting to make this scarf, and now I’ll have to! I love the color you chose. Lovely work, as always.

Love your choice of colors. So beautiful!! How many skeins of yarn did you use?

Hey everyone! Thanks so much for the awesome feedback - you’re all much too kind, though that’s not something I’m going to complain about!
I used exactly two 3 oz. skeins of Simply Soft - honestly, I had less than a yard left. I probably would have made about two or three more cable repeats if I had had more yarn, but I couldn’t justify getting another skein just for that. It’s plenty long enough, but it used exactly that much. I wouldn’t personally go any smaller. :slight_smile:

so, so pretty!!! What a great color…you did a beautiful job.

Your scarf is beautiful!! and I love the color! I’m one third of the way done on my own heather purple palindrome scarf.
Question: is your scarf EXACTLY the same on both sides? On the “back side” of mine, it looks slightly different.
Thanks,
Jen

Ooooh, so pretty!!! What a great shade of purple too :inlove: You did a fabulous job :thumbsup:

Hi,
Maybe you didn’t see the question when I replied before, so I’m hopeing you see this!!!
Does your scarf look EXACTLY the same on both sides? Mine looks slightly different on the “back”.
Thanks,

Hey, mine does look the same on the front and back (as far as I can tell…)
It’s not completely symmetrical like the Irish Hiking Scarf (the last two stitches on the left side are knits, but the last two on the right side are purls… know what I mean?), but the front and back seem to be the same… the pattern is the same on both sides (when you knit the WS or the RS, it’s the exact same)
So I don’t really know how to help you, sorry. But maybe you can look at the pics of my scarf and see if that helps you? Or ask Silver, she’d know for sure if it’s supposed to be the same on both sides.

:happydance:great job and very pretty color!!
