Thanks, Eunny, for your clear instructions. This was a good refresher for me as I return to knitting after quite some time working on crochet projects! Thank you for this!

I live in the frozen tundra in Wisconsin. SOOO I am wanting to make a scarf that is really wide, really thick(maybe super chunky), really warm, really long neck with one generic really wide cabled(12 stitch cable at least) down the center with very few side stitches maybe 4. But I cannot find such a pattern & I have tried to figure it out, using the seed stitch on the sides but I cannot figure out how to make it turn out right. How many rows between each cable and so on. HELP!!!

Just wondering but what size knitting needles is she using? Also that finished red scarf they show at the beginning how many stitches would i have to cast on to make a scarf like that?

Other than changing the look, does it really matter if you cable in the front or back?
