Onda Scarf or Wrap

The Onda scarf and wrap use a reversible lace cable pattern; while both sides are not identical, they are nearly so. The columns of faggoting allow the solid areas of fabric to stack neatly, creating a layered effect even when there is only one layer, and the subtly variegated yarn adds interest to the simple stitch pattern. So when you grab the scarf (shown in Misti Alpaca Tonos Pima Silk) as you are rushing out the door, just carelessly loop it once or twice around your neck—whatever side ends up facing out will look great! In the Onda wrap (shown in Madelinetosh Tosh DK), the same stitch pattern creates a different effect when worn: since the fabric is stretched horizontally as well as vertically, the open areas between the cable panels really show. The buttons, both practical and decorative, can be placed over any cable crossing, and the openings ctreated by cable crosses also serve as buttonholes, meaning you can arrange the wrap in multiple positions before buttoning.
