The Driver: Squealing Wheels

Squealing wheels on a black tarmac road. Coloured dots of red Alfa Romeos, yellow Porsches and blue Jaguars. The Driver: Squealing Wheels is a textured, cabled scarf designed to keep you warm on a winter country drive.

Worked in DK weight wool, this design uses a set of cable crosses to create a picture of two sets of tyres weaving down the road. The cables are straightforward and the scarf is an interesting knit as the
cable crosses vary as you travel down the road.

The Driver is designed to be about 170cm long and 20cm wide. It is easy to add more repeats of the cable pattern if you would like a longer scarf.

The pattern includes full charted and written instructions.

The inspiration for this pattern is my enthusiasm for classic car rallying. It is designed for my father – the driver of our rally team. I designed a team-mate scarf for myself – [The Navigator: Country Roads][1].

This pattern has been test knitted by katisha, julstolps and turquoisgirl. Thanks to yo
