Horseshoe Cable Scarf

This scarf is 36 stitches wide with a 4 stitch border on all sides. The horseshoe is twelve stitches wide. I originally did this pattern with a 3 knit stitch border before I knew that stockinette curled.

Cast on 36 stitches

Knit four rows of garter stitch
1. K4, P8, K12, P8, K4
2. K12, P12, K12
3. K4, P8, K12, P8, K4
4. K12, P12, K12
5. K4, P8, RC, LC, P8, K4
6. K12, P12, K12
7. K4, P8, K12, P8, K4
Repeat 2-7
To finish add rows 2 and 3, knit four rows of garter stitch, and bind off.

RC = Right Cable: Slide 3 to cable needle and hold in back, K3, K3 from cable needle
LC = Left Cable: Slide 3 to cable needle and hold in front, K3, K3 from cable needle

Note: I have not tested this pattern to make sure the garter stitch border is enough to make it lay flat.
