Celtic Crossroads Braided Scarf Free Pattern
Tip: The seed stitch borders are worked as [K1, P1] repeated 4 times. The cable panel begins with K2 and ends with K2, creating a frame for the braids.
Row 2 (WS): [K1, P1] 4 times, then P2, K2, P4, K2, P2, K2, P4, K2, P2, then [K1, P1] 4 times.
On the wrong side, you'll purl the knit stitches and knit the purl stitches from the previous row. This maintains the pattern.
Row 3 (RS): [K1, P1] 4 times, then K2, P2, K4, P2, K2, P2, K4, P2, K2, then [K1, P1] 4 times.

Row 5 (RS): [K1, P1] 4 times, then K2, P2, C4B, P2, K2, P2, C4F, P2, K2, then [K1, P1] 4 times.

Row 7 (RS): [K1, P1] 4 times, then K2, P2, K4, P2, K2, P2, K4, P2, K2, then [K1, P1]
